... , which isn't to say he hasn't struggled, but the struggles of growing up a stranger in a strange land with a professional ballplayer for a father aren't typical for most people in the League or anywhere else, for that matter. Yet, they do seem strangely common among Kobe's teammates. Ronny Turiaf, Sasha Vujacic, and Vladimir Radmanovic are all foreigners, and Brian Cook and Luke Walton have fathers who played in the NBA. Additionally, Kobe seems most comfortable around teammates who share his middle class background and nerdy interests, guys he can watch

According to the blog on KB24.com, he is livid about a report in the LA Times in which a "Laker Insider"came out and is directly blaming Kobe for running off Shaq and causing the subsequent decline into mediocrity that the Lakers currently find themselves in. Here are some bullets from the interview [

... on Tuesday:  "Nevertheless, as a Lakers insider notes, it was Bryant's insistence on getting away from Shaquille O'Neal that got them in this mess."  After that, Kobe went from saying stupid but ultimately meaningless things like "Changes need to be made now" and "Bring Jerry West back" to making trade demands - that's a big step.  Kobe insists on his website that the whole Shaq thing was Jerry Buss' idea and he had absolutely nothing to do with it.  

Reading the Laker Tea Leaves

... I'll admit, I have been hungry for signs that the Lakers and Kobe Bryant are patching things up. Some event where Laker people and Bryant are together, perhaps. Some media conversation about reforming the front office, whether or not Jerry West will be invited to be a part of it, or how the team plans to win now. Or, maybe just some update to Kobe Bryant's website after his announcement that it was time to move on.

Bryant on the tape: " Ship his [rear end] out. We're talking Jason Kidd. They didn't want to do that. That's why we're in this [messed up] position.

Legal Issues of Unauthorized Kobe Bryant Video

... , the men responsible for the video--a few guys in their early 20s who are unwilling to identify themselves--do not believe that Bryant was aware of the video being taken. Those same men contend that someone offered to buy it from them for $100,000 in order to keep it private, but they refused, and instead intend to make it available to anyone willing to spend $1.99 to watch it, provided they receive 50,000 orders. It's unclear how many orders they have thus far received. It's also unclear if the video is all that entertaining, since other than a consistent flow of swears and some unvarnished remarks about teammates, Bryant has offered similar, albeit less explicit, commentary on his blog. Still, as ESPN's Henry Abbott ...

If Gilbert Gets Traded....
Published 10/30/2007 by Dan Steinberg at D.C. Sports Bog
If Gilbert Gets Traded.... I still haven't figured out exactly my response if Gilbert gets traded: Either a self-suspension without pay, or a month-long or possibly season-long blog boycott of Fun Street, or a determination to just fabricate Gilbert stories, or possibly I'll just quit. Is there anyone Gilbert could possibly be traded for who would be more opposite than K---? He takes himself too seriously, his " blog " is atrocious and repugnantly earnest, he doesn't publicize his gamer tag, he doesn't attempt to post rebuttals on video game forums, and he almost certainly doesn't fill teammates' bathtubs with coffee on road trips. There might be no move in any professional sport right now that could turn a belovable team into a behatable team more quickly than Gil for K---. Anyhow, I refused to acknowledge all those rumors yesterday, but now that things seem to be dying down here are a few links if you want. Sam "I Hate Bloggers" Smith chooses to g ...
