That was my impression as well. I really liked that team and every time Kobe would open his mouth it was as if he felt he deserved more credit for what the team did. Say what you want to about Shaq, but he makes other players better and when he went to Miami, he gave all the praise and responsibility to Wade. When Shaq was with the Lakers he would talk about how Kobe is the best player in the NBA. Kobe never seemed to humble himself enough (at least in interviews) to be satisfied that he was apart of a group that was successful rather than trying to make it seem like no one was giving him credit.

Peace
