Kobe Bryant: I Suck

Lakers Baffled That Free Agents Don't Like Their Bad Basketball Team
I don’t want to keep piling on the Lakers (yes I do), but their failed wooing of LaMarcus Aldridge sounds like the biggest free-agency botch since Kobe Bryant spent a couple hours yelling at Dwight Howard across a conference-room table.
