Dude, you claim, kobe’s teammates never say this stuff…..ALMOST ALL OF HIS TEAMMATES HAVE SAID HE WAS A SELFISH BALLHOG !!!
1. Shaq
2. Karl Malone
3. Robert Horry
4. Derrick Fisher
5. Rick Fox
6. Gary Payton
7. Bynum

That names a few ! I’m sure you can Youtube or Google each of their comments.

Let’s not forget Phil Jackson detailed the issues in his book. Basically said the guy was un-coachable. He only went back to the team because the owners daughter became his buddy….ahahahaa

Nash will not be able to run that offense…neither can play D anymore against elite guards. This is going to be comical ….I promise to enjoy every moment of them getting SPANKED !!!

No go play in the dirt and leave FACTUAL dialogue to the grown folk in the room !

Shouldn’t that thought process have started about 3-4 years ago?

How many times did he publicly throw Gasol under the buss as well as Bynum on a few occasions last year…

I can’t think of any other player in the league who made so many negative comments about his teammates play last year and a lot of the media get fooled into thinking that’s leadership.

And this coming from someone who shot .43 from the field last year and played half-hearted defense on numerous occasions. Yet the way he was hyped by the NBA, media and his endorsers last year you’d think he took the team to the Finals.

Read any quality, well researched book on the Lakers and this kinda of stuff is just the tip of the iceberg.

If you’ve read any quality books on the Lakers or followed the team closely in the media you know Kobe has rarely ever been a leader with the exception of his individual play despite the media’s, NBA’s and his endorsers attempts to craft his public image as a leader.

Playing ‘better’ leads to more wins
Kobe is all about winning
Kobe & Nash, no problemo…

Take off your purple and gold goggles for once!

As long as he gets a majority of the shots, all Will be well, if not , look out.

Last year he was arguably the best leader for his team in the whole league. He was always supportive for his teammates and was their biggest fan when he sat out the end of the season. He DID make those around him better.

How did Kobe and Fisher work as leaders together? Kobe respects other smart players, and Nash and him make the smartest backcourt in the league. It won’t be a problem at all, and they will both be leaders as always.

People like Henry Abbott and Skids003 need to start watching basketball before they say anything. Kobe’s teammates never say this stuff, just dumb fans and the media.

Nash will defer because he has a brain and wants to win.
