He can win, by finding a middle ground and balance. I won't bash Kobe too much for disappearing in the second half. Kobe wasn't going to win if he had to do it all by himself. Either his teammates were going to show up and play or the Lakers didn't have a chance no matter what Kobe did. Getting his teammates involved was the only way to see if they could step up to the challenge or not. They weren't up to it. Kobe gave them the chance. I do think Kobe should have shot more, but I don't think it is that wrong of Kobe to try and get his teammates involved. It was their only chance of winning. When Kobe was scoring 23 pts in the first half were the Lakers winning? The Lakers won in that series when they played as a team. They needed to play as a team to have a chance, and Kobe was trying to get the team going. If Kobe was sabotaging to prove a point, then he is a big baby. I don't like Kobe at all, and like it when he is made to look bad. But in this case I don't place too much blame on him, for his second half.
