Kobe Bryant

After the Los Angeles Lakers' mediocre season, Kobe Bryant, the captain of the team, was shot down by a Laker front office insider for the sole reason for Shaquille O'Neal for trading him after the end of the 2004 season. In an article written by LA Times journalist Bill Plascke, he points out that Bryant ran Shaq out of town. In fact, it was owner Dr. Jerry Buss who spoke to Bryant about keeping an old Shaquille and promising to build a championship caliber team. The last three years the Lakers have not won a playoff series, while Shaquille's HEAT won a championship. At this point, it seems that the Lakers want to rebuild around 19 year-old center Andrew Bynum instead of the NBA's best player, Kobe Bryant. Which poses the question what direction are the Lakers going?
