I agree with you 110%..and I could not have said it any better. Some people, especially KOBE haters think they just found yet another ammo to just blame the guy, make him a scapegoat, and bash him for what its' worht...simply bashing !

When Shaq himself came out yesterday and said it was not Kobe, but Jerry Buss, the Owner who didnot resign him, and people still do not wanna listen to it, or are selective on what they wanna hear....

Let truth be told, this whole thing started when Jim Buss criticized Phil, they Jeanie Buss criticized her own brother....and later Kobe suggested the Lakers' front office was a mess......All he did was stated the obvious,.....and made it known that Jerry West was the only guy who could fix this messy situation.....Its just so happens that one of Laker's front office personnel, aka Mitch Kupchak's right-hand man tells the LA times it was Kobe was ran Shaq out....How ironic....and that too after 4 years...like we everyone was waiting for that news....It was all well thought about, well planned attack on Kobe, and I feel, Kobe has every right to feel like he was back-stabbed, and made the scapegoat......As long as Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak are making decisions in LA, Lakers will be on a free fall.....Its just so unfortunate that they are playing this Game at Kobe's expense..........If I am Kobe, I would do the same....!
