all he wanted is winning, is there something wrong with that, he is not a selfish player, the team is unimproved, so he the captain he have to do whatever means to win, that 's his job to make his team win, well if he a ball hog, why he get 5.4 assists average this year, he should have 0.0 right

Pay attention, this world is full of haters, you have to let them do their jobs, they look for any excuse to hate on people who are GREAT!! Its like Kobe owes them money or something. Anyways as I was saying, this world would be unbalanced if we didn't have the haters, when you are on top its always somebody or something trying to bring you down.

First off, show me a player in the NBA who DOESN'T want to win. That particular player doesn't exist. The reason these guys are in the NBA in the first place is because they are the best and they want to win. It's the way Kobe goes about "winning" (you really can't say the Lakers have been winners with Kobe as their main guy, can you?):
* He can't keep his mouth shut when asked his opinion about front-office moves. I know that if I went to the local papers and criticized my employer (a $2.5 billion dollar company) that I wouldn't have a job there much longer. He won't voice his opinions to upper management at the Lakers in a professional manner - he simply whines to the press.
* He refuses to share the ball. He doesn't trust his teammates because they don't come through 100% of the time. Well, guess what? NO teammate comes through 100% of the time, Kobe, not even you. PASS the ball and encourage your teammates. They will get better and they will play more as a cohesive unit instead of five guys on the floor.
* You say the team is unimproved. I say they have improved greatly if for no other reason than guys have had the off season to heal from their injuries of last season. Chris Mihm (who missed all year), Vlad Radmanovic (who missed all games after the All-Star Game), Kwame Brown and Luke Walton (both injured during the stretch run) all had injuries last year; these guys being healthy will help the Lakers a TON. And if the Las Vegas rookie league is any indication, Javaris Crittenton will be able to help right away. Plus Andrew Bynum and Jordan Farmar will be one year better. Bynum will develop into a solid center in the league; maybe not a superstar, but he'll probably become a 20-10 guy.
* Kobe is a ball hog. I saw far too many trips down the floor last year where Kobe simply dribbled around pointing and then frowned and launched a double-teamed three point shot. If that's not ball hog play, then I don't know what is. The ONLY time you should take a double-teamed three point shot is when the shot clock is running down. He needs to fit into the triangle offense; if MJ could do it, then so can Kobe if he's as great as he thinks he is. Oh, yeah; 5.4 assists? He was over 6.0 earlier in the season and it dropped as the season went on.
Kobe is 28 and is a 10 year NBA veteran. It's time to grow up and be a MAN instead of the whining child that he has become.

He's a selfish player. Its as simple as that. When a teammate is open and he is guarded, he will likely take the shot.
He might have a handful of assists each game, but he also spends the majority of the game playing, and has the ball in his hands far more than any other player on the court. If you're going to have control of the ball for that vast majority of the game, you need to be the playmaker for your teammates.

Wasn't this question asked earlier,well anyway we know what it means to want talent.Everyone demands to get talent but to shuffle your decision on getting traded was kind of diva.Especially the fact that all this I want to get traded, I don't have no talent came when Lebron went to the finals sounded like it was jealousy and i don't even like Lebron.

He's a criminal for starters & he's an egotistical jerk who think everything is about him. He's the main reason why Shaq left the Lakers Notice how ever since Shaq left Kobe has found no sucess.

in games i've seen him play which is quite a lot, you often see him force plays when a team mate was wide open.
