...kobe's gotta win again for complete vindication. fuck all that "he ain't got nothin' to prove 'cause he already won titles" bullshit some folks'll try to sell you on... kobe's gotta win 'cause it's what we fucking ~expect~... he's gotta win because of his haughty swagger... he's gotta win 'cause of his jordan biting mannerisms... the fist pump after the shot against the suns... all that shit... he's gotta win, 'cause he's a laughingstock if he doesn't... sure, a laughingstock that scored 81 and hypnotized all fans for games, seasons, years at a time... but a laughingstock nonetheless...

...i mean... all that bluster... talk of killer instinct and drive and fire and determination... if he doesn't make it back without shaq, well...

...but that's okay... 'cause i think he will make it back... within the next few years, even...
