Los Angeles has no shortage of rabid Kobe Bryant fans that wave MVP flags at every game and continually talk about his greatness. I am not one of those people. With the Lakers 6-0 in this year’s playoffs, many are getting back on the bandwagon. However, I remember the dark days of our organization and being the only fan in my group of friends when our lineup consisted of Sedale Threatt, Anthony Peeler and Sam “Big Smooth” Perkins. Which goes to prove another one of life’s bitter lessons that blind loyalty is a mug’s game.
