All of Jordan's teams were better then this horrible Laker team. He would pass if he had anyone to pass to. (And don't even mention Lamar who is too scared to shoot) When Shaq was on the team Kobe led all SGs in the league in assists per game.
Kobe shoots because he has to. It's like Randall Cunningham, or Mike Vick. If you're the only talent on your team sometimes you have to get the job done. The ultimate measure of a player is "did his team win?" and "could they have won without him?" those answers are yes and no and nothing else matters.
He may not be the MVP (I would pick Nash) but if he's not in the top 3 then they better rename the award.
