Will the Lakers be facing the wrath of Kobe this offseason again, or will he rally with the Lakers to make it back to the NBA Finals?
Kobe Bryant was short on explanations, saying “I don’t know†a half-dozen times. His jaw was tight, his words stark (some unprintable) and his discontent palpable. In another context, it might have sent the Lakers into crisis mode all over again. But this was not May 2007, and this was not the same Bryant who spent last summer pining for a new team. Even with the sting of losing the title still fresh, Bryant hit a number of positive notes before walking briskly out of TD Banknorth Garden.
If the Lakers can get Kobe some good help, and an experienced bench Kobe will be out for blood next year.
