So why did Kobe even bring up smush for aint this like the third time he done talked shyt about smush for no reason?

To make himself feel good. You'd think 5 rings would be enough to stroke the ego, but apparently not. When you're this accomplished and still have to bring others down to make yourself feel good, you've obviously got some deep rooted pain.

Parker even told a story about a time when the team was in Phoenix preparing for a playoff series against the Suns. Smush says that coach Phil Jackson gave Lamar Odom his black card to take the team out to a nice dinner as a bonding experience. Parker says the entire team sat at one table, and that Kobe Bryant had his own table in a corner.

More like I ain't eating dinner with no peasants. I wouldn't eat dinner with those fukking bums either if I had to average 35 ppg for us to compete. Kobe in 2008 started getting friendlier and more team oriented because he actually had a squad.

Leadership is responsibility.
There comes a point when one must make a decision. Are YOU willing to do what it takes to push the right buttons to elevate those around you? If the answer is YES, are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? Here's where the true responsibility of being a leader lies. Sometimes you must prioritize the success of the team ahead of how your own image is perceived. The ability to elevate those around you is more than simply sharing the ball or making teammates feel a certain level of comfort. It's pushing them to find their inner beast, even if they end up resenting you for it at the time.

I'd rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that's just not reality. I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.

This is my way. It might not be right for YOU but all I can do is share my thoughts. It’s on YOU to figure out which leadership style suits you best.

Will check back in with you soon.. Till then

Good! You changed breh.

I never changed. I was never a Lakers fan and even the biggest Kobe stan in the world would have to admit dude wouldn't speak to you on the streets. How could you be a fan of somebody that wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire begging for liquid?
