Yeah right. I highly doubt if you were making the kind of money he's making, and had as many rings as he does, that you'd throw a fit like that after a technical. All players are upset after getting T'd up, but nobody punches the chair like that, throws a towel, and calls the ref a ing faggot when he knows there are cameras on him and he could get fined a lot of money for his mouth. |
I've seen players do a lot worse than that. Plus money and success doesn't make you any less of a competitor. |

Eh it's true about them having a camera on him at all time. When KG gets called for a foul they're reallllllly careful to keep the camera away from his mouth
Kobe's the team-leader. When something doesn't seem right he's gonna be the one to speak up about it.
//lol you beat me to KG |

| I'm pretty sure KG has threatened to eat at least 18 referee's children. |

| I love it man... I love the fact that those guys are so passionate about winning that they take their jobs that seriously. I watch Dwight Howard laughing and joking during games all the time, chuckling on the bench and can't help but think "that's the kind of stuff that separates the elite from the great." You'll never see Kobe or Garnett out of the zone during gametime. |

I don't know if Dwight Howard really counts. He's definitely in the zone the whole game, but his whole demeanor doesn't allow for much in terms of being all pissed off like KB or KG. Man's got a sense of humor, that's for sure. :p |

This is an interesting point. I think it has real substance to it. When you're deemed as "the next great one" since 7th grade, and you give yourself the handle "King James", that certainly says something. He's finding out it's a lot harder to work for than he expected (unless you're Adam Morrison and you get a ring while sitting on the Laker's bench).
I still don't see him wanting that ing rock at the end of games like the great ones. Kobe, MJ, and a host of others... man when the game is on the line they WANT it, and they have their go-to spot on the floor. Lebron still doesn't have that killer instinct... he'd rather jack up a crazy 3 pointer or drive and dish it to a teammate when the game is on the line. |

| I think after so many years in Cleveland, he definitely wants a ring more than Kobe at this point. Just because he's not a selfish player (Kobe), doesn't mean he's not one of the most competitive players in the league. |
