lets say the lakers can win the championship but all the critical shots for the next 2 games go to Gasol and Gasol ends up being MVP....

...would Kobe sacrifice the championship to be the only possible MVP on his team?

lets say he goes into the wrong hotel room after game 3 and there happens to be a naked white girl bent over giving mixed signals...

....would Kobe go for it?

no. I think the only thing Kobe cares about is winning. I would never question his desire to win. That is the biggest part of his id.

Re: WWKD.....(what would Kobe do)

how much would it kill him if they win that championship and maybe strategy calls for Pau to get all the shots, FTs, etc......

I can already see a Mega-scowl if that finals MVP goes to someone like Gasol or Lamar Odom

Re: WWKD.....(what would Kobe do)

This is a great post and i think that you will see that many NBAe players only care about THEMselves and not team goals.

Just think about this for a second. When you are an athlete who is involved in a team sport, you have to resign yourself to the fact that you may never win a title in your entire career. Athletes in team sports know that if they get their hopes up and count on other players to get them to glory, they are only going to be disappointed and thats why i feel that team-sport athletes only care about how they look personally in the public's eye. Some of them are great pretenders (like the song) but we know that all they care about is their own personal stats.

Look at A Rod for example. He's the highest paid player but has never won a ring. not winning a ring has nothing to do with how much you get paid, its all about your personal stats. This is why players swing with 3-1 counts all the time, they don't want to work that walk (team ball) they want to be able to put a good swing on a fat fastball (which is the pitch of choice for a pitcher in a 3-1 hole) and possibly raise that BA.
