Kobe tired of losing

In an article posted in the Los Angeles Times, on May 5th, Kobe Bryant voiced the frustration many Lakers fans have been feeling. In a press conference after being kicked out of the playoffs for the second straight year in a row, Kobe called out management publicly:



As he stated he's not getting any younger. I know many fans are thinking ahead to the next couple of years. He's turning 29 this year and while that may seem young to some people, many forget that he has been playing NBA basketball straight out of high school and that takes a toll on the body. What's going to happen when his body starts to give out? He as a supporting cast that is not very intimidating to other teams. And the Lakers haven't won a playoff series since Shaq left. I totally agree with Kobe, we need better players. This fact is very clear, when I have friends calling to tell me that the Golden State Warriors made it farther than the Lakers in the playoffs... THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS?!!!!! Something has gone terribly wrong.
