It seemed most of the playoff games were exciting as well. I really got into it after the Lakers played the Jazz. As for Kobe, there's no doubt he's an amazing athlete and genius with the ball. That said, I can't stand how self-absorbed he comes off as. I went to a playoff game here in SLC and while everyone else was saying hello, patting each other on the back, talking with their teammates and the other team, Kobe was in front of the camera, egging it on, as though to imply the entire thing was about him. As much as he seems to do the most work, it seemed he didn't really care about the team as much as he did himself, which may impact the situation over all.

I'm no basketball expert (barely even a fan), but I'm just guessing the above based on what I've seen of human nature.
