Jason Whitlock: Kobe has lived off NBA food stamps his entire career

Kobe Bryant is the NBA’s Welfare King.
Yes, this column is about King Kobe, the most pampered athlete in the history of sports.
quote:
Kobe is spoiled. He’s lived off NBA food stamps his entire career. Has any player in league history played with four different All-Star 7-footers? Shaq, Howard, Gasol and Bynum. Are you kidding me?
Given all the help he’s received, it would be embarrassing if Kobe didn’t retire with eight titles. Let’s don’t forget, in Shaq’s final season in L.A., Kobe also got to play with Karl Malone and Gary Payton. Now Kobe gets a still-effective Steve Nash to play point guard.
quote:
No matter what happens, Kobe should not get credit for a sixth superstar championship ring if the Lakers win it all. This should count as a Robert Horry-like supporting player championship ring. Any titles Kobe wins with Howard should be marked with an asterisk and should not be considered of the same value as the titles Magic and Michael won.
The real all-time greats won titles without the benefit of welfare.

I know he's just trying to get a reaction out of people but god damn these arguments are annoying. Couldn't we just as easily say Shaqs titles are tainted since he won with Kobe and DWade?
Kobe is getting older he needs help, Bird had Walton. I mean shite you think if Patrick Ewing was like "hey I wanna play with you MJ", he'd have been like "nah I'm good"?!?!?

That's just ridiculous
Man that's a pure hate article if I've ever seen one.

I can only hope he is trolling. By this logic, no player has ever won a title. Are you not allowed to have good teammates?

Guess who's my new favorite NBA writer?

He right, Kobe has had a lot of help! The year they lost to Detroit when Malone and Payton were there as Whitlock stated, Kobe was no where to be found. Shaq was the only one taking it to Detroit!

That's a ridiculous statement.
I know Kobe is not the player he use to be, but barring injury Kobe is going to contribute more to this team than Horry every did for any of his titles.
Take out Kobe and sub in someone like Marcus Thornton(not a LSU bias, guy was top 10 in PER for SGs) is everyone still saying the title is 3 way race between OKC, Heat and Lakers?

I'm surprised whitlock didn't try to blame it on racism some how, that's the status quo with him

Kobe had to play with Mark Madsen for years, that had to be negative offset of Shaq
