Lebron's lurking, but does Kobe care?
““If I had to have somebody make a last-second shot, it would be Kobe Bryant,” West said. “But even though it’s hard for me to be objective, because I brought Kobe to Los Angeles, I do think LeBron has surpassed Kobe as a player.”
Bryant would later say he didn’t find any inspiration from West’s words. Nor, he said, did it matter who uttered them.
He was lying.
The NBA could hand LeBron the MVP trophy, but this was different. This mattered. West had traded for him on draft night. Supported him when he needed support. Allowed him to use Hollywood as his stage. At times, Bryant had described West as a second father.”
You think Kobe cares? Do you think it’s what drove him to 40 points in Game 1?
