<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Laker_Fever_834:</div><div class="quote_post">^ I understand your point Prodigy, but the thing that really frustrates me is Kobe really isn't playing team basketball. Sure he's the man in the 4th quarter when we desperately need him, but what about the four other guys? To win an NBA championship, you need team chemistry. You need all 12 guys on the court to contribute well to the team. And if there's one guy with an arrogant, childish, egomanic like attitude, you're just completely bringing the team down, and people start pointing fingers. This is what Kobe has been doing in our losing streak of three of the last four games. He doesn't realize what he's doing is ruining our team's confidence and our hopes of winning a 4th championship.</div> I've always been criticizing kobe with his selfish way of playing. He's very important for us sure, and he CAN play team bball, but ... he doesnt. Especially the first game last quarter, did you see him trying to shoot those kinda balls francis did today? He could have passed easily to Fisher or others standing behind the 3point line ... but he didnt. He still doesnt realize that bball is a team sport. He's great, hes got great skills top oft he nba, but i hate his arrogant way. He wants to be in the middle scoring the mostpoints possible. He could be the best player if he'd do a bit more of team bball, passed more, like Kidd for example, combined he would be the best, trust me. But he isnt ... I wouldnt let him go, but like that ... he will keep his way of playing bball so well see how far itll lead him.
jus like phil said in pti i tell kobe play team basketball in the first three quarters then do whut ever u can to give us a win in the fourth quarter
