What do you mean? He took a good shot and we've seen him drain those so many times before. Have you even watched Kobe play? I don't think the Lakers could have gotten a better shot attempt than the one they took... ::)

It's a one man show because the rest of the Lakers are still developing as a team...Most of these players haven't even played together until 4 months ago...They're still mending, and they're getting closer and closer to playing like a team...It's not Kobe's fault at all, he's the only one who's really with the program. He's averaging the most assists on the team as well, so there goes his "ball-hog" title. The fact of the matter is that Lakers are playing on the same level as championship contender teams, and as the season grows deeper, they will continue to improve...And there is not an "IF" the Lakers make the playoffs...PeACe

This has nothing to do with whose fault it is. Some guys are winners and some aren't. Jordan=Winner, Bird=Winner, Magic=winner, Russel=Winner, Shaq=Winner, etc. Kobe=guy who played with a winner and hasn't proved to be a winner himself yet. I've said before that I don't think Kobe has what it takes to lead a team like the greats. Larry lead a bunch of losers to first place in his rookie year, and all the way to the conference finals. Kobe is older and more experienced than Larry was at that time, he has no excuse. Lakers are in 7th and there a few teams very close to them. A playoff spot is hardly a guarantee. I'm not doubting it but I can't say they'll be there for sure.
There is a difference between a great player on a great team and a great player who makes a team great. Up until this year Kobe has been the former. Let's see if he can become the latter.
