The Yankees of basketball. A bandwagon team that attracted self-centered stars (Malone, Payton, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc) like advertizing gigs. I couldn't stand them when Shaq the self-adoring egomaniac was there...and if he was still there, I wouldn't rate them, because they wouldn't even be worth one star. But I respect Kobe...I think he's one of the best basketball players who ever lived, and he doesn't annoy the hell out of me, even though he has an ego as big (or bigger) as Shaq's. And Phil Jackson is the man! I can't believe he decided to coach the Flakers, but I was a dedicated Bulls fan (sorry, but I lost interest in the Bulls when JOrdan, Pippen, and Phil left), so how could I possibly not like this guy? Anyway, this review is already too long. Love Kobe and Jackson, could care less about their team.
