Kobe=ball hog team isnt going nowhere and i hate idiots that say that he doesnt have no one else they have odom,parker whos having a good yr also Mihm and George
Yeah, Parker, Mihm & George are solid role players. You said it. They are in the same league as the Dwyane Wade's, Robert Horry's, Michael Finley's (!!), Shawn Marions etc.
Look at the other leading teams, the teams have A LOT more talent than the Lakers do. Smush is having a good year, alright I'll give you that. Is he consistant? No. George? If you say he's a good role player, you're on crack. He can drop 20 one night & then go back to like 3 points the next. Chris Mihm? Just repeat what I said. I'm amazed you didn't add Kwame Brown to the list of oh so fabulous players the Lakers have.
Lamar Odom is a good player, no doubt about it, sadly his game just doesn't seem to be going as smoothly as it should in LA. He needs the ball in his hands. Kobe needs the ball in his hands & frankly, I'd rather have Kobe handle the ball opposed to Odom. That's not a knock on Odom, it's a compliment to Bryant.
Really, Kobe doesn't have much to work with, perhaps that is his fault, I can't say for sure, perhaps it's his game that doesn't bring out the best in others. But till that's a proven fact, we can't blame him entirely.
He's doing his best, even if that means him trying to score as much as possible. Before I'd get mad because he had other options, now that he doesn't, how do I get mad at him? Do I have a right to get mad at him? Not really.
He's trying to win & then you see him as a ballhog. Before I did it too, when he had options. You've got to realise he doesn't have those options anymore, so calling him a ballhog now is just plain ignorant. In this case, Iverson is a ballhog aswell.
