Typical though, Laker fans should be used to it. Kobe will have a great stat sheet, but that team is going nowhere. Kobe is a great individual player but he's not a leader and he doesn't make the other players on the team better.
No, I'm not blaming him for the Lakers losing, heck without him that group of dregs would win 15 games. I'm just saying he's the "A-Rod" of basketball. You know he can put up the numbers every year, but he just doesn't seem to have "it" to be a leader.Originally posted by: BrownTown

oh comeon, you can't blame Kobe because his whole team sux, you think Kevin Garnett is terrible because he has never made the playoffs, Steve Nash never made a championship game, let alone won one and he has waay more talent around him. Its silly to think one man can somehow make everyone better. Even the guy who everyone thinks that about (Steve Nash) playing with 2 other All-Stars can't even make it to the championship game. How do you expect Kobe to make it there with nobody else even close to all star status on his team?
