Honest Kobe is always interesting.
He takes shots at the bootleg Lakers, Lakers management and whatever else is on his mind. It was the prudent thing to shut him down for the season, but he is letting everyone know that if the Lakers were remotely close to make the playoffs, he would be playing.
Kobe Bryant said that if the Lakers were contending, he could play right now.
