This will be Kobe Bryant's best NBA season by far.(The Orlando Sentinel)
Byline: Tim Povtak
ORLANDO, Fla. _ There is a large faction within and around the NBA that is waiting for Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant to struggle this season, fueled by the thought of wiping the arrogance off his pretty face.
Many believe that his first NBA season without Shaquille O'Neal could be a rude awakening, a chance for everyone to deliver that payback they never could with Big Brother at his side.
Since last season ended, he pushed for the ouster of Coach Phil Jackson. He lobbied for the trade of O'Neal. And he avoided what could have been an ugly courtroom proceeding.
So many are waiting to enjoy the fall of Bryant and the Lakers.
So many are going to be so badly disappointed.
It's not going to happen.
