Many of the all-time greats in the NBA had similar ego issues (Jordan especially), so it's not really uncommon for players to think too highly of themselves.

Not sure if you're speaking to me but that cannot be further from the truth. The Lakers were always my favorite team until the Raptors came along. I'm not saying Kobe isn't one of the greatest to play the game, he certainly is, but its unfair to say I'm anti-Lakers just because I think its laughable to say he's better than Jordan.
If anything, perhaps PeteL is just a little too pro-Lakers/Kobe IMO.
