I'm not sure the comparison to calling somebody else a punk and a choker really works. Kobe doesn't seem sincere to me. Is that really such a harsh opinion?

Yeah, I understand what you mean here. Kobe often looks hesitant and uncomfortable when he talks nowadays. In certain interviews with certain reporters he seems very down to earth, but with other reporters in different surroundings he seems much more guarded. When he's in those situations he's hard to watch. Though I don't necessarily think he's lying. I think that ever since the rape indictment, which eventually led into the summer Shaq was traded and the lottery season that immediately followed, he has been much more guarded and careful choosing his words due to the massive amount of negative media he received during that 2 year period. He certainly looks more scared to open up now than, say, when he was playing with Eddie Jones and NVE back in the day or during the 3-peat.
