The Lakers. That team is basically all Kobe. They swing it around to Kobe for shots and their team depends on Kobe to get 40 or else they wouldn't be in contention to win. They are basically a won man team.That's the only team I'd say that doesn't play team ball.

They are basically a won man team.I would've agreed 2 moths ago but latley odom, Kwame and others look for their shots. Kobe also doesn't iso alot anymore, yesterday it happened like 4 times where he went on a solo mission.

He gets pretty much half their points on some nights.I don't care about iso. A 'team' is generally used as being a group of players' playing an event or sport together. With the Lakers they don't have that, they just find one man looks.

Who gives a <Censored> about iso? They still play team ball as all of their starters get looks and their scoring is very even usually. The Lakers on the other hand, depend on Kobe as their offense.
No it's funny a dallas fan making fun of kobe when they have more iso players than the lakers. And lakers depending on kobe's offense is required, dallas require dirk's points to win. So does every superstar's team in the league.Lakers depend on kobe as their offense? Hm... kobe's averaging 35ppg, lakers are scoring like 90+ point games. Intresting...

They are not a selfish team and scoring is well balanced when the whole team plays.
You made the topic, he was simply replying to it. Youa re so damn sensitive. yes, he was making fun of your team by answering your topic.No, the Mavs don't require Dirk to score 40 for them to win. If they did, they wouldn't have the record they have today. They have guys like Terry, Howard, Daniels and Harris that can take the load if Dirk is off. They have won of the best offenses in the NBA. As for the Lakers, when Kobe doesn't score they lose. I'll just leave it at that.
I dont get how the Lakers dont play team ball?! Im confused?!?!Just because Kobe shoots 25+ shots a game means the Lakers dont play team ball?And they just swing it around to Kobe?! You're not serious are you? Have you watched a Lakers game this year???And how can Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, and Brian Cook (maybe even Kwame lol) be having career years, if the Lakers didn't play team ball??Here's a stat for you, Lakers are 12th in the NBA in APG.
Assists in the league are recorded in stupid ways. Mavs are close to last in assists because if a certain player holds onto the ball once given a pass, it's not an assist. Also, the case as most Mavs tend to drive rather then shoot(notice the shortage of shooters on Mavs) and you get why their not high in assists.None of that means Mavs are not playing teamball, their making the passes, but players are driving rather then shooting.
Ya'll are missing the most obvious team, mainly becaue they've always sucked, and are easy to forget.The Atlanta Hawks...all they do is dunk, and every once and a while Joe Johnson shoots a three.But I'll tell you, they are one of the most young, talented, athletic teams, that I've seen this year...and if they get some good coaching, and learn to play together, they could be dangerous once they grow up a little.
Yeah the Hawks are totally depended on Joe Johnson. They don't play team ball because they don't have a point guard.

Hell, this guy could have been a 40 MPG guy on ANY OTHER TEAM IN THE LEAGUE, almost, and he gave that up for a Sixth Man Role?HELL, THAT IS BETTER THAN ANY ASSIST STATISTICS.Dallas doesn't get many assists, but their ball movement is probably #1 in the NBA.
