probably KG's only true weakness is that he just isn't that go-to player that can carry a team on his back offensively. but how many players in the league can do that? even Shaq can't do it anymore (not even considering free throws), and Yao not yet, and who knows when Tracy will be able to again. i just see Kobe and AI, and maybe Duncan or Nowitski. Nash is a different animal, dare i say comparable to Magic? he might not be able to score, but he'll find someone who can. Lebron someday perhaps, and Arenas only once in a while. but all of these guys have better supporting casts.

Not sure of TD any more. The guy is over the peak and probably won't be the same again. I still cannot erase the memories of TMac and RyBo totally shutting down Dick last year in the playoffs. He have a great supporting cast that can routinely save his ass.

Kobe and AI are the only two that literally can carry their teams. Yao is not there but have shown some huge promises. A 100% healthy Tracy can certainly do it, but I have to question his health and wonder whether he can regain top form again.

I think KG will have to move his game into the POST to be great
KG does not force the action alot of times
he makes the TECHNICALLY right call . . passing etc
but sometimes. . he has to say F*** IT and put his head down
and take it to the RACK on 3 guys . . . .
he doesn't

You team is 0-11. . . you should not be passing
He should have started to do a bit like AI
even during scoring droughts. .. AI gets to the line
he manufactures points

KG does not do that
He maybe TOO unselfish

I agree. AI gets beat up, so does Kobe, so does Shaq, and Yao. TD has a lot more inside. KG and Dirk are very good players with very good stats. But they are big guys, and they shy away from the post games. It's a shame. That's why KG can't set the tone, despite his 20-20 games. To me, KG and Dirk are always playing with other players, with the most touch, shots, and points, but they never really lead anyone.

I think it's more likely that he cannot do it. He has never really been a beast inside the paint down the low post.

TRUE

Has he ever even tried it?
