How much do you really love Shaq? LOL. Like I said, if Kobe was not on the Lakers, we'd be lucky to win 20 games. Odom is great support and he's one of my favs in the league, but I would never want him leading my team. Miami had a big 3 that year with a nice supporting cast. The weight was never dropped on Lamar's shoulder like it has been on Kobe's...You should know that.

It is obvious that Kobe is NOT a good team player, and doesn't elevate his teammates playing either. He has no confidence in them and wishes to shoot everytime down the floor. Only the biggest of dickriders would disagree.

It's obvious you don't watch the Lakers, Kobe WANTS less pressure on him and is more than willing to distribute if his teammates can step up. The beginning of the season, before everyone started getting injured, is the PROOF of this. If you think Kobe didn't elevate Shaq's game, you're nuts.

If you think Kobe didn't elevate Shaq's game, you're nuts.Of course Kobe leads him team in assists boy-o, he gets the ball on every possesion, of course he's gonna be forced to pass sometimes. And he only had those numbers because his points guards are garbage. Kobe doesn't have faith in them either, that doesn't help. Shaq was at a whole nother level when they were together, he would have won a championship with damn near any team those 3 years. He was unstoppable, and Kobe hated him for it. LOL at Kobe elevating Shaq, it's the other way around.And why the hell would I want to watch a team that can't even execute on offense correctly?

What does that tell you about the consistancy of Kobe's team as a whole? Kobe doesn't have faith in his teammates? LOL. Where do you get this stuff? Kobe has deferred his whole career, that's the way he won championships. Shaq wasn't able to do that when it was his turn, he was too bitch about it, that's why Kobe was left on stuck. LOL@Shaq woulda' won with any team. That's a damn shame if you really believe it...
Antonio:Who was better than Jordan? 6 playoff MVP's without a real post player to play with puts him #1 according to 99% of bball fans. Did you watch the man play? I never saw Wilt, Russell, etc play, but the only on ethat comes close would be Magic? Is he your number one?THe thing with Jordan is, he elevatated others play. That is what GREAT players do, and i have a feeling Kobe will do it in the coming years, but as of now it is not happening.......

Kobe should involve those guys more in the offence? Sasha & Co?Are you really saying it the same to have B.J. Armstrong (best 3pt shooter in the NBA for a pair of years), John Paxon (another wonderful 3pt shooter), Ron Harper (a great initiator imho), Scottie Pippen playing point forward, etc..?Are you saying Jordan could have made Sasha Vujacic or Shammond Williams an All Star?If so he's not a human, but a God.
