Oh BTW Mr.MVP went an amazing 7 for 26 tonight leading his team to a loss to the GRIZZ......oh yeah he is the best all right.....what a joke. If I was picking players to start a team I would have to get through 5 or 10 guys before Bryants name even crossed my mind. He is a slightly better and slightly less concieted Stephen Starbury....that is all.

Before you go back to your stat reading on espn.com and listening to Martine Guillard call the highlights on SportsNet, trying to pretend you actually know anything about basketball, it's Stephon
not Stephen. And FYI: No one calls him "Starbury" anymore.
Kobe didn't dominate last night's game as much as he could've. I could see that. I watched the game. I'm sure he'd be willing to admit that. However, if you were
actually watching any part of the game, you would've seen that he allowed his teammates a chance to win the game themselves. After all, it was the Grizzlies and the talent level between the two teams is pretty even. Smush was hot in the first half hitting his shots, but went cold in the 2nd. Kobe insisted on getting him the ball to try and boost his confidence throughout the 2nd half and Smush just couldn't get there. Sasha Vujacic was constantly open from the arc, where Kobe would be double-teamed and he'd dish off. Obviously, Sasha isn't Ray Allen so he hit, 3-15 or some ##### like that. Lamar had one field goal all night, but contributed mostly on defense and distributing. The point is: (Which I've been pointing out since the beginning.) The Lakers are the worst team in the league without Kobe. They're basically a sub-.500, NDBL team without Kobe. If you're trying to say that he doesn't improve the scrubs that fill the Lakers' roster, you're obvously not watching the game-perhaps you're watching the wrong player.
Obviously it's both if you really believe that Kobe is "slightly better" than Stephon.
