What is going on with Mr. Bryant this season? First gets his wish by getting some help with the Pau trade. Then his whole team starts to play like a real Laker team whom as we speak are sitting on top of the Western Conference. And throughout all this he’s been the catalyst leading the team and yet Kobe also leads the league in technical fouls. I love the man, I think he’s the greatest player in the league right now but come on. Every play he doesn’t get the call his way (whether correct or not) he barks at the ref like a hound dog and usually just doesn’t stop. It’s one thing to work the referees but another thing to just get under their skin. In the past he’s been known not to be shy but this season it’s been ridiculous. For a man that’s considered the number one candidate to be the MVP (He still gets my vote by the way) this just doesn’t add up.
In my humble opinion I think he needs to let it go.. If he doesn’t get his call on a play just let it go and play ball. To be honest he’s averaging over 10 free throws per game and I think he’s getting his fair share of calls. Not only that, he’s @ 13 technical fouls right now and a couple more techs and he’s going to be suspended for a game and we just can’t afford that. The west is so competitive right now, that one game can be a big difference in playoff rankings come April. With all that said, if the game is on the line and he knows the referees are ready to tea him up he’s capable of just letting it go. So for the love of God, Kobe just let it go and play your MVP level ball and the calls will come your way.
