At this point I feel weird for not feeling hurt by this personally.
Depends how much thought you gave him when he was playing.
I hated those Laker teams, not just because of him, but I was glad the year they beat Boston and thought he was good for the game. Being a Dodger fan, he's around the team a lot, so a lot of the players I follow on Twitter and Instagram were pretty emotional. Kobe just sent Belinger a congrats video for his MVP the other night. Now I coach girls the same age as his daughter, so that part hit home a it for me. Obviously we don't helicopter to the games.
