I don't think it's selfish to play for a team that sucks for 3 years, especially when they tell you they are going to build to win championships NOW, but say something different(5 years) to Phil Jackson. Then they pass up on a lot of good trade opportunities and some insider leaks to the press that Kobe demanded Shaq be traded. Then the owner gets a DUI with a 23 year old woman, etc. etc. I don't blame Kobe at all for being upset. The ownership and management sucks, mainly the ownership(Buss family), IMO. They backstabbed him and Shaq.
