He deserved to choose another team over us if that's what he preferred. But just don't forget, that he made us instant title contenders the moment he arrived in tinsel town. He deserves more respect for playing so great during those finals. Without him The Lakers don't win back2back chips!!
(& of course vice versa)

Perspective? Perspective? That's what you wanna go with? Perspective? You wanna bitch and moan about Kobe's extension, but claim that Pau's contributions to the two championships and three trips to the NBA Finals exceed whatever the Buss family paid him? What a friggin hypocrite. Kobe has contributed much, much more than Pau. "Physcian, heal thyself." Yes, put things in perspective. Who's jerseys are flying off the shelves? Whose the #3 scorer in NBA history? Who has an 81pt game? Who has an MVP, 2 Finals MVP, 3 ASG MVPs, 5 Rings and is going to his 18th ASG? But you begrudge him his $25M extension, but lather Foo Foo with "contributions". Pathetic.
