Kobe Bryant says that because Shaq, Phillip, Payton, Fox, Fisher and Malone are gone that "the rivalry between the Kings and Lakers does not exist anymore". Then he goes on to say that "Their center plays for us now....we got out of the rivalry without them beating us once in the playoffs"
Do Kings Fans agree with that?
In my opinion, as long as we still have Chris, Peja, Bibby, Bobby and Doug and as long as Kobe Bean Bryant and Vlade Divac is wearing Laker gear it ain't over. Kobe can punk out if he wants to, but I think this rivalry will continue, especially (God forbid) if the Lakers get the best of us this season.
