The cause of the hold-up was occurring adjacent to the locker room, where Kobe was refusing to ride on the City Council bus because the mayor was to ride on it. At the same time, the mayor, the consummate spotlight thief, was refusing to get on the City Council bus unless he got on with Kobe. Kobe loudly denounced the mayor in phrases that started with “I don’t like the …” and ended with “I’m not going to let him pimp my popularity!”
The bus stopped in front of them and the hard-working crew went ballistic for the team and shouted and cheered like they’d lost their minds. Then the mayor popped up from among the players and waved to the group, which suddenly turned silent, as if a spigot had been turned off. They say the effect was quite chilling. And these were all city employees, who probably know the mayor better than we do.

The article says he snubed the Mayor a handshake in the Coliseum, but around 1:00 in this video Kobe shakes the Mayors hand although it looks more like a formality than anything.

yeah I saw the vid - it looked like kobe was doing his utmost to avoid contact without pushing the mayor away. I don't think he even makes eye contact.

I don't understand the snub. They both cheated on their wives. They should have plenty in common

I wonder if the city not picking up the tab for the parade had anything to do with it.
