Whining to the press is not the same as whining on the court. Are you really arguing that Kobe's mental game is weak?

when hes surrounded by talent its all good and everyone loves kobe.
I think he'll be fairly well surrounded with talent on this hypothetical team, don't you?

point is, again, hes a great talent, with a terrible attitude.
His desire to win above all else is what has made him occasionally throw teammates under the bus and bitch to the press about poor decision making by management.
But you know what? He was right.
Jordan pulled the same kind of crap with his own team; it's just that nobody remembers it. He would reportedly intimidate and humiliate members of his own team at practice all the time. He didn't bitch to the press and create trade drama, but again, I don't see how that's relevant.
A happy Kobe is a dominant Kobe, and for the purposes of this team, he would be very happy.
