Stop with the Kobe pity..

People need to stop saying they feel bad for Kobe, or that this is "sad". He's 37 years old, on a team that is going absolutely nowhere this season with or without him jacking up shots. They are full tank mode, and Kobe brought the Lakers 5 rings in his time there. If nothing else, this is showing how much respect the Lakers organization has for their perennial all-star.. It's going to be REALLY hard for Kevin Durant(or any other superstar) to pass on an opportunity like LA when they see that not only can they build a team around them as they did Kobe, but they are going to pay them later on in their career if they prove to deserve it; like Kobe did. God knows how much Kobe made in his career for the Lakers, and for himself. He is #3 scorer of all time, MVP, 5 time NBA finals champ, like 19 time all-star; he doesn't need anyone's pity in his 20th season in the NBA after coming back from multiple season ending injuries.
