Just because I don't think the same as you doesn't mean I don't think. The fact that Shaq is on a better team than Kobe does not make him a better player. Why is that so hard to grasp? Kobe hasn't won anything without Shaq, but Shaq hasn't won anything without Kobe either. Plus Shaq playing now is NOT the same Shaq that won 3 titles with Kobe. He's just not as dominant as he was. Maybe if he could cut down on the whoppers he'd get it back, but he's proven himself over and over to be undisciplined. How can you call a guy who refuses to even get himself in shape a "team player"?
When Kobe scored 62 against the Mavs it was a blow out, when he scored 81 they ended up winning by 18. When Kobe scores all these points his team usually ends up winning. If when he scored all these points the Lakers were losing then you'd have a point. But he doesn't, so you don't.
Without Kobe the Lakers would be one of the worst teams in the NBA. With him they have a very good chance of making the playoffs.
Curious to see if you guys actually argue my points or just go back to the childish name calling that seems to be all you can come up with.
