I think Kobe is the most amazing and talented player I've ever seen. I grew up during the Jordan era, and while Jordan was an amazing act, I see a lot more out of Kobe for some reason. He does everything under the most intense pressure and scrutiny. He gets labeled for all the wrong things. I'm not saying nominate the guy for president, but damn... respect the SKILLS.
He's simply the best 1 on 1 player in the league. He is NOT selfish... in fact he has the most triple doubles this year by any player, reaching over 10 assists in 4 straight games at one point I think. He's one of the best defenders and hustlers in the game as well. I can't stand it when people claim otherwise - they obviously listen more to the critics than actually watching games.
Call me a homer or whatever, but once Lamar Odom steps up to relieve some of the stress from Kobe's shoulders, you're gonna see an amazing team. The reason the Lakers are struggling is because Kobe has to do EVERYTHING. People are saying he's not doing enough, but I see that he's doing as much as he possibly can, stretching himself thin. He needs a little support so he can relax and just play his game.
