How much more can Bryant take?

It was the darkest moment of a quarter blackened with shame. With 4:32 remaining in the second period Tuesday, Kobe Bryant drove through three Phoenix Suns before being fouled in front of the basket.

It was the kind of tough play the Lakers had been avoiding. It was the sort of effort the Lakers had been missing.

Yet as Bryant walked to the foul line, he walked alone.

No teammate slapped his hand. No teammate patted his back. No teammate even behaved remotely like a teammate.

Not only didn't the Lakers seem to care about the Phoenix Suns, they didn't seem to care about each other.

And after their awful 126-98 loss to the Suns in Game 2 of the first round of the playoffs, falling behind two-games-to-none with no hope in sight, you have to wonder.

With the Lakers seemingly destined to be sent home without a playoff series win for the third consecutive year since the departure of Superman, where does this leave Wonder Boy?

Of course we must support Yao Minglah...
Not like the one who didn't support him...

i hate AI. him and kidd? nearly killed people  anyway forget about it la...i dont like rockets either unless mutumbo can get 100 blocks per game

why dowan Suns? they are like the Arsenal of basketball. Dallas are like MU. 

ahaha.. i like A.I..    my 2nd fav nba super star..   impossible mutumbo can get 100 blocks lar.. he old de..  
i prefer V.Carter than Kidd..

cant wait 4 next season when a PF from china entering da NBA draft..

i dont support him because i think it is farcical that he's winning votes even when he's not playing or not playing well. in that case, why wasnt dallas' zhang (something something) an all star when he was around in the NBA?

being asian doesnt mean we have to support asian? its like an exam. do we support hard work or do we support excellence? we support kobe's brilliance or ben wallace's dilligence?

i am sorry but i go for brilliance. give me Dwight Howard and my personal favourite amare stoudamire.

and stop ur immaturity of calling me "the one," grow up will u?

1) look at my username
2) if that is meant to be sarcastic, FAILED

walau.. wayne.. so big ur siggy.. swt..
