Kobe's Ego

[himat]

Did you watch the Lakers/Spurs game? Kobe kept "chucking" up bricks. Part of being a great player is not trying to go 1 on 5. Theres a time to be selfish, and a time to get your teammates involved. By Kobe throwing up brick after brick, he never took advantage of the Laker's size and ability to score in the paint.

I understand that. What my point is is that this Kobe going 1 on 5 thing is nothing new, in fact, earlier on in his career he did even more.

If people are going to bring up the argument that he's becoming ineffective now, the chucker statement can't be used since Kobe has had that problem since Day 1.

Unless of course someone believes he never was effective. Get my point?

I agree he is not as athletic as he used to be. He can still be the best in the game when he has his head on right though(which we all know is often not the case)

Nah brah, the point isnt that he's a chucker. Its whether he's still good enough to get away with the chucking. Its been a problem his entire career but his athleticism and skill allowed him to get away with it...now theyre both clearly on the decline. The guy isnt Tim Duncan though, getting his points is extremely important to him thats why Im asking if he'll ever be able to hand over the reins. Or will he just continue chucking up as always, except at a much more ineffective rate?

^There ain't nobody to hand the reins over to. That is a sage for Kobe. There ain't a soul on that roster (sans Fisher) that he didn't need to take kickin' & screamin' on to the end of a June. Ipso & facto, he will feel justified to brazen this out. Me? I'll stand with him, however long it takes him, however this ends. Why? A myriad of reason, and I can recite them all to your ad nauseum, but, one comes to mind:::on ring nite he introduced, sponsored Vug, cited his act of Game 7 when he raced & beat Breen to the play-by-play and ended Father of 's Celtics, shoved those s right into a hole that Artest had just freshly dug with a shovel provided by Bryant.

Hey, and it was,,,,just like that.
