The lakers are going to have a hard time finishing higher than 6th, and the could miss the playoffs completely. Lots of people think Kobe is the next Jordan, but they forget that Jordan was constantly passing the ball to his teammates, getting them into the game. Who can forget John Paxon? Steve Kerr? The only reason they were there was so that Jordan had someone to pass to who could hit a wide open 3. Kobe hasn't shown much willingness to give up the ball, after the first game. He will lead the league in scoring, but for the Lakers to be any more than the 6th seed, he will have to lead the league in assists, too.
Can't wait to get back to North America and really start following basketball again!
