Now that the Lakers are on pace to win 65+ games this year and are clearly the best team in the NBA, I feel it is my duty as a Blazer fan to remind everyone of a few key realities about Kobe Bryant.
1) He is, at best, an adulterer who chose to have rough sex with a woman he had know for less than an hour in a hotel room in Colorado. The details aren't pretty.
2) He is responsible for the single most ridiculous photo shoot of all time, in which he was trying to look like Tupac for some reason.
3) Phil Jackson, a man who has spent years with Bryant, calls him an arrogant, selfish child who is difficult to work with.
4) He is a terrible teammate who only cares about himself and will gladly throw absolutely anyone under the bus as soon as things don't go well.
Laker fans can cheer for him. I'm not asking anyone to root against their hometown team, or to betray a lifelong allegiance to Los Angeles. All I'm asking is that everyone keep these five facts in mind every time Bryant does something impressive on the court or anyone mentions giving him another MVP award. If I get the impression that people are losing this perspective, I'll be back--believe me, there are plenty of other reasons why Kobe is an asshole.
