Kobe is the most clutch playr in the nba; but that sometimes makes him forget about his teammates. Also, he is used to playing with Shaq and might expect Yao to be as good. When he sees the diff. he might not ever pass him the ball. But I love Kobe. T Mac has the size and might be hungrier, but I remember watching an interview with T Mac and he said the diff. btween he and Kobe is that Kobe has a deeper drive to win( more competative like Jordan is how he described Kobe). When I heard that I question his true goals and desires on the court. We know Kobe wants to win and be the best. Is T Mac OK with being one of the best or does he want more?
I have a personal dislike for Bryant, so I'll take McGrady, even though I don't much like him either. The difference is I could probably get to like him, but not Kobe.
Mitch Kupchak has already said they won't do a Kobe S&T, even if he wants out. Forget it. Kobe odds: LAL 70% LAC 20% PHO 5% SAS 2% NYK 1% DEN 0% UTA 0% Other team 2% Evan
Do you think Kobe will pass the ball to Yao. The Pistons didn't stop Shaq. Kobe wouldn't pass him the ball enough. LA could have won if Shaq would have scored 40 to 50 points which I think he could have. I'm so thankful they Lost though. Kobe to Houston, No thanks I'd have to be a Spurs fan if that happens.
Pistons tried one stradegy: STOPPING KOBE. They did everything possible to make Kobe frustrated and forced him to make tough shots. It worked. Shaq is not the old Shaq anymore. He gave the Lakers one good game in every 5 games he played. When he got the ball down low, he feared to be called for offensive fouls and passed out more than went to the basket. He does not have the ability to scroe 40 - 50 points every game and more. It is very likely that the Lakers will trade Shaq away.
ill say this again. Yes he did jack up some ill advised shots but: TMAC AVERAGED 5.5 assists as a SG. While SF average 6 as a PG. What does that say?
I Hate Kobe almost as much as I hate Karla...Please don't bring that phonie b*stard here!!! He is a GREAT player and I respect that but I can't stand him b/c of his arrogance and phonie character.
Am I the only one that remembers Scotty Pippen? Sure, Kobe isn't past his prime like Scotty was, but his attitude is just as bad if not worse. And Shaq is the true "man" in LA. We saw a few days ago what happens when Kobe tries to take over a 7 game series. He thinks he can carry a team, but he's no Jordan.
When Rudy T is offered the LA coaching job. He will tell Jerry Buss the only way he will become coach is to trade for Steve Francis. They trade SF and Cat for Kobe. RU happy now.
