Hissing At Kobe Bryant Is Los Angeles’ New Favorite Pastime

Remember all of that smack talk Kobe Bryant was laying out a few weeks back? Fans finally got the chance to vent a little frustration on their prima donna star. As a matter of fact, fans weren’t too shy about booing Kobe during pre-game introductions Tuesday night. And why should they be? Their star was throwing more tantrums than rapper Kanye West on a Grammy night. But what did Kobe think about it?

“I understand where they’re coming from, but they really don’t know the entire situation because I just keep my mouth shut — as I should. They shouldn’t worry about it, just focus on watching us play and watching us do what we do, and the business side of it should remain behind closed doors.”

What do you think we do all day, read literature? Hell nah. And when the hell did fans only care about winning? Last we checked, smack-talk was as much a part of the game as hot dogs and cheerleaders. Start pre-ordering those Bryant jerseys Chicago.
