It’s Kobe’s World, so Welcome to It

Mark Heisler, get over it [Nov. 7]. We already knew Kobe didn’t live up to the media hype you got suckered into and then helped build and amplify since the day he signed with the team. But apparently it’s all still news to you.

Sure, you’re now feeling like a rube at the carny, but don’t take it out on fans because it’s not only mind-numbingly boring, it’s just flat-out lame.

We’re sorry Kobe won’t engage in frank, probing conversations with you and that he doesn’t take your sportswriter status any more seriously than we do.

Against the Grizzlies, Kobe Bryant displayed the dreaded Allan Iverson syndrome by shooting jumpers even when they were not falling.

This is the type of poor shot selection that has driven fans and teammates crazy ... and you can’t blame Shaquille O’Neal for this one.

Kobe, innocent or not, took on and defeated the state of Colorado, the most dominant player in the NBA and the most revered coach in the league. Leave him alone and see if he can beat the mediocre team he now leads and get them into the playoffs.

I see that the Miami Heat is 3-0 to start the season. I also see that “The Big It’s All About Me” has not been the star. The big star has been guard Dwyane Wade. I wonder how long before “The Big It’s All About Me” starts wondering why his teammates aren’t passing the ball enough to him.

Now all the Lakers need to complement Kobe Bryant is a big, dominating center to ... er, uh. Never mind.
