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.

A bunch of loser? Larry never played on a new team with players who never played together in the past...You think if Larry Bird was in Kobe's position the Lakers would be doing any better? LMAO...Kobe hasn't proved that he's a winner yet but how has Shaq? Sure, Shaq made it to the NBA Finals, but he had a star in Penny Hardaway on his team...How about 1996-1999, the 3 years Shaq couldn't make it past the first round of the playoffs, because Kobe was still developing his game...Kobe is playing his first season without Shaq, so I have no idea how you can already indicate that he's not a winner...As we've seen today, Miami could barely even put out an injured, developing Lakers in overtime, and Miami has another superstar, Dwayne Wade; the Lakers don't...Now tell me how your argument makes ANY sense?
