It'd be fine if he said to the Front office. I just don't like him saying it in the open.Nonetheless Jordan pulled the same sh*t. And won. Kobe's actually much more softer on is teamates because if he pulled an Mj on his teamates they would crumble. Can you imagine kobe yelling at kwame calling him samaki walker?Btw, I agree with his statement about bynum's potential. But trading bynum for a backourt player doesn't make a contender. That's kobe emo side talking.

I don't see why so many people are irrate over the video. We all knew Kobe's feelings about the passed oppertunities, and we know NBA players use profanity laced language and can be a bit extreme when the cameras are off. Kobe didn't know he was being video taped, and while he shouldn't be discussing these things with the everyday Joe, it shouldn't be a shock. He didn't throw Bynum under the bus, he just expressed his anger in the Lakers waiting on Bynum's potential instead of going for the proven star. BTW, Lakerfan247, Melo061 was referring to MJ's cruelty towards some players and bi*ching about manangement to the press and others.
NY Post<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>According to Lakers spokesman John Black, the Lakers have been aware of the video for a few weeks. Black said the videomakers, who may not have known Bryant, approached the Lakers to try to sell the 24-second tape to keep it out of the media?s hands. The videomakers are threatening to release the video this week. It may have been filmed in May. ?It was sort of like blackmail,? one Lakers source said. Bryant is caught on the tape, saying ?Are you kidding me,? when referring to passing up Kidd. Bryant added curse words and said the team should ?ship out? Bynum. Bryant called the front office ?a mess.?</div>Link

Especially since you've been one of the most hated players in all of sports these past 3-4 years. A lot of people are looking to throw his ass out in the water, come on now. Just say "no comment" and walk off, simple as that. Talk to your wife about it, she must be pretty attentive these days after he gave her that diamond ring...

They kept swearing on air....but I guess they are going to get money off this one way or another.

They're just looking for some fame, I guess. The "Kobe Video Boys;" they sound so gay...
It's one thing to berate players on the court in a game or a practice. It's another to do it OFF the court and in public. That just makes you an ***hole.
Does anybody have the full video? I would like to see it but Im not paying $2. Hell its probably Kobe himself who gets the money >_>
what I want to know is why nobody in any media outlet has paid the two dollars and then hijacked the video

I'm not happy he is talking to any random strangers about team players. Keep that inside.
