Kinda feel sorry for Kobe now

His two theories say it all:
I really suggest that you read the entire article if you have the time. It'll definitely make you reconsider your opinions about Mr. Bryant.
His two theories say it all:
Theory 23/45/23: Had Michael Jordan never existed, Kobe Bryant probably would be the most celebrated basketball player in the world.If MJ had "never existed", LeBron would probably be the next Kobe.
Theory 8/24: Had Kobe Bryant come into the league in 2002 with Amare or 2003 with LeBron, D-Wade, C-Bosh and Melo, or in 2004 with Dwight, or any year after Michael Jordan left the NBA, the comparisons would not haunt him the way they do.So true. Kobe, Hill, Penny all had to become potential heirs to MJ's greatness and fail (Kobe, least so) before everyone gave up associating the next big thing to MJ.

Never falter in what you believe. Don't be sorry for Kobe. Just do it.
Though it is exceedingly hard for me, I will forgive you for this temporary moment of weakness.

While I agree that Kobe has it tough--being kept under the shadow of MJ all the time and all that--I'm still disappointed about his Game 7 second half performance against the Suns. Knowing how Kobe has been throughout his career, I had to expect more out of him.
