    Did Kobe show Dwight how to win yet?

    Be the centerpiece of 2 straight lotto dregs and chuck up a zillion shots while alienating the universe?

    Dwight has always played up to his abilities in the playoffs no matter what. I can't say the same about James Harden who didn't show up for a lot of games in the playoffs.

    You don't have to crown him anything, but to make the assumption that his so called softness and smileyness will negatively impact how he plays the game of basketball is completely baseless.

    Not everyone have the same personalities and throughout history people have have won their own way, you have the assholes like Kobe, the quiet non-chalant ones like Kareem, the happy and cheerful ones like Magic Johnson

    When did getting to the NBA Finals and then the Eastern Conference Finals in back-to-back seasons (2009 and 2010) be mistakenly labeled as "getting eliminated in the first round"?

    When Kevin Durant goes out of his way to call you soft, it makes you wonder.

    Oh dear lord, Magic Johnson was intensity at its highest level. Please don't compare Dwight to any of these guys. His personality is a train wreck. Ask Stan Van Gundy, Jeff Van Gundy, Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Kevin Durant and Jameer Nelson.

    Once Lebron retires, he will be compared to MJ...not Kobe.

    That analysis by Van Gundy was spot on.

    No one wins by themselves.

    We are talking about Harden and how he needs a better coach and another superstar too.

    Any ways Harden is the leader of this team and we've seen him get pretty intense on the court and glare at teammates, Dwight at this point should focus on being the best he can be on the court because that's all that will matter obviously.

    I think Reggie Evans taught Dwight more than Kobe:

    Which is why Kobe's point is so silly. People have different personalities, but everyone still wants to win.
