    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Bryant is considering buying a helicopter to commute from his Newport Coast home to Staples Center for games. When reminded Wednesday that he used to say the traffic wasn't bad for him at all, he said increasing numbers of people are living in Orange County and making the commute now.</div>

    Well, if he gets a plane I hope he stays safe. We don't want to see another Corey Lidle accident........

    He should parachute down one game during the player introductions.

    That's more Gilbert's style than Kobe's.

    I don't blame him, the traffic is ridiculous. However, if I was in Kobe's shoes I'd have someone chauffer me anytime I needed a ride. I'm also suprised he doesn't just by a loft or apartment in downtown LA and spend the night there when the Lakers play at Staples.

    ^ He'd never be home (with his family) during the season then. I wouldn't do it I was him, despite the traffic and so on.

    His family could stay with him at the apartment. Orange County is only 40 miles from downtown LA.

    I agree with Kobe, cali is getting more crowds these day. And because a lot of freeways, 10, 22, 405, 60, 91, are in construction now, the traffic is getting even worse.
