The reason I asked what the difference was is that last year everyone, well, maybe everyone besides Timberwolves fans were on KG's side. Kobe asks for the same thing and it is the spoiled brat wants his way again.
And those stars that came to play with him just to get a ring? Over the Hill coat tail riders. Both were superstars at one time but didn't get their ring then, came to see if Kobe could do it for them.
Kobe's biggest downfall will always be not shutting his mouth and playing with Shaq for as long as he could. I am not a Shaq fan either but between the two teams had a hard time covering them.
I hear you on watching the games. I catch five or six during the regular season and then watch most of the playoffs. Unfortunately, I live in Spurs territory and have to put up with them. They get too obnoxious and I just bring up ".4".
