One thing though, Kobe's always been about winning and heart. Now, he's including his team and is doing what nash does for the suns... facilitate. only difference is... kobe got a killer instinct and nash relies way too much on his teammates. im not getting on his case about passing... but with a stroke like his... i'd be doing bigger things from a personal offensive point of view.

if kobe did this last year the lakers would have been a lottery team. look at dwayne wade's heat. he is in the same situation kobe was in 2 years ago and half of last year. except unlike kobe, instead if taking over he is distributing, and the heat are getting fucked every night. if kobe did that 2 years ago the lakers would have sucked horribly, comparably to the heat.
its actually pretty selfish of a player NOT to take over for his team when they need him. if nothings working and you dont want to bail them out because you think the media calls you selfish for it, then thats selfish in itself. ya feel me?
last year bynum couldnt even run up and down the court and was still a toothpick compared to other centers. this year he is looking more cut and he plays 30+ minutes regularly. you can't give kobe credit for bynum's success. thats all bynum.
just another way to look at it...
