Kobe's antics drove Phil Jackson to see a shrink

[Paragon]

Bryant is such a douchebag that he can even send the friggin' "Zen Master" to seek psychological help...

...Jackson said the strain between him and Bryant led him to hire a therapist to consult with during the season...

...Jackson wrote he became so frustrated with Bryant that he told general manager Mitch Kupchak in January, "I won't coach this team next year if he is still here. He won't listen to anyone. I've had it with this kid."

...Jackson wrote that Bryant was angry that O'Neal received allowances from the Lakers organization but that "nobody this year, or in any year I've coached, has received more 'allowances' than Kobe Bryant."

...Bryant complained about the type of plane he was given to fly to Colorado, Jackson wrote, adding "He should feel fortunate that he's not footing the bill himself."

...Bryant told Jackson that O'Neal's presence on the team would affect his decision to stay with the Lakers, adding, "I'm tired of being a sidekick," Jackson wrote.

2. Never liked the guy, ever.

All you heard about when the rape allegations came out was about what a nice, nice man he was and how he was so well behaved.

Bullshit - I could tell the guy was a selfish asshole after watching him play the game for five minutes.
