Lakers: Bryant may handle some point guard duties upon return

[irishock]

Whether Kobe Bryant returns Friday, Sunday, or some time after that, chances are he will have to play some minutes at point guard.
A hamstring injury has sidelined point guard Jordan Farmar for a month, while veteran Steve Nash is still dealing with back issues and Steve Blake is limited by a left elbow ailment, leaving the Lakers very shorthanded at the position.
"Kobe will play some point guard because of Farmar's status and Steve Nash's status," head coach Mike D'Antoni told the Los Angeles Times.
D'Antoni suggested that the game Bryant plays is already similar to the role of a point guard, since he will usually have the ball in his hands on offense and plays tend to run through him. Bryant might not have the foot speed to defend against opposing point guards coming off his Achilles injury, but D'Antoni will likely use Xavier Henry or Wesley Johnson on defense instead.
"Obviously if he plays point, we're big," D'Antoni added.

Hey, in my 39.6% thread, farming idiots like ambchang conveniently entered Kobe into a thread that had nothing to with him. And you farmers like to say that Tammy is better than Kobe in all aspects - which of course is a damn lie.

Sounds to me like Kobe shot five airballs per game that the bigs managed to rebound and put in for him.

His astronomically high usg rate had NOTHING to do with that, of course, right?

It's funny because according to you farmers, I thought he was also a major ballhog? Yet here he is comparing quite comfortably to the Kang (7.3apg) who also had an astronomically high usage rates last season. No one holds that against them. I wonder why?
