He's a great scorer, among at least the top 10-15 ever.
there's no doubt he's the most dominating shooting guard the league historically has ever had (you can calibrate jordan and kobe and say that they're just as good as each other offensively. and i can't help it, being the shaq fan i am, to think he got that mentallity from shaq. but the one thing he can't do that he should've learned from shaq is; the ability to lead BIG time. kobe got too frustrated with the wait to be top dog that he's still got that mentality that he's got something to proove. those row of games arn't nothing but trying to proove something to the league of his status of top dog. screw that, he's got the ability to loaf and still be the 'top dog' , but he's got the ability to LEAD as well....he just hasn't realized it yet.

Ummm, last I checked, Kobe just led a team of battered NBDL players to the playoffs...For a second year straight. LOL.

LOL.You said Lamar and Kwame are all-stars. Lamar is an all-star caliber player and Kwame has POTENTIAL to be an all-star caliber player.

Kobe is playing with a group of lazy bumbs. I don't even think Odom is that good. Kobe draws so much attention that they get a lot of open looks, and they don't make many of them anyway.I don't like the way the Lakers play. They have one star, and the rest of the guys are going to have journeyman carears in the NBA of changing from team to team, injuries, and going back and forth from being starters to being bench players.I think Kobe is the best player in NBA history behind Jordan. Well behind Jordan. Because Jordan was a smarter team player than Kobe, Jordan was intense EVEN IN PRACTICE.. he punched Steve Kerr once in PRACTICE.. and was always yelling at them cause he demanded perfection from them EVEN IN PRACTICE... okay, you get my point.
kobe went 42-40 imo not the lakers
