well no i dont mean to imply its kobes fault.
You are right at time you do have to selfish in basketball but
then again those teammates are gonna be cold if they never get the ball.

I think Kobe is a heck of a player. I thought the Lakers did the right thing and being patient with his development. Unlike his and Garnetts development going from high school to the pros a lot of others never turn out.

I just thought maybe he was putting too much pressure on himself.

He still young but the Lakers must realize that Him and Shaq as good as they are still need to be a team.

I m afraid that the Lakers will just reload next year for another 3 year reign.

Dont know if i like these many 3 peats latley or not. Seems like only yesterday people were wondering if a nother team could even repeat again. Thats what i remember from the Lakers last 2 championships of the 80's

Maybe thats myproblem i expect more Magic Johnson, Larry Bird type of team play. Maybe the 80's just spoiled my view.

But i certaintly dont think Kobe should waste his talent either.
