As I said, if I was picking a fantasy team where personal stats were all that mattered, I'd pick Kobe. But since basketball is played with 5 guys on each team, one player who can make the other 4 that much better is a rare quantity.

I give Steve Nash a lot of respect for coming in first (in the Pacific) without Amare. And yes, he does make that team. He's the point guard. It's his job to distribute the ball. He comprises the offence. I don't think the Suns are "uninspired" without him, they're just lost because their back-up is obviously not as skilled, (Marcus Banks) and the guy never gets any PT. But to start a franchise with a pass first point guard is not something 100% of the GMs in the NBA would do. I would guarantee that they would all pick Kobe over Steve Nash.
