Open letter from Flea to Kobe

Flea, of Red Hot Chili Peppers fame, is a BIG Laker Fan. In his NBA.com blog, he writes an open letter to Kobe Bryant. Here is an excerpt:

someone for whom, no matter whatever else is going on in my life
the lakers have been a constant, something that keeps going on..........
life is great?.....watch the lakers game
getting a divorce?......watch the lakers game
just went to a funeral?.............watch the laker game
depressed and in bed?
just made a million dollars?..........rode a ten foot wave in costa
rica?...............you get it......
Wow, he's really in the Lakers, huh?

I guess Flea's sentiments are shared by millions of Lakers fans out there (emphasis on Laker fans). Kobe wanted to be The Man, he became The Man in L.A. Being The Man entails sacrifice, leadership and testicular fortitude to weather any frustrating situation.

While I am not so optimistic about any impending Kobe trade, Flea's letter is a good perspective to share.
