Good point with the David Robinson call. Guys like Adrian Dantley, Mark Aguire, Dominque Wilkins were all amazing scorers. You just couldn't shut them down. But kids today don't know who they are. But they do know

Magic
MJ
Bird
Wilt
Jerry West
Bill Russell

Kobe is really, really, really good- even great sometimes. But he wants to be an immortal, not MJ part II, but Kobe defined as himself with a legacy, a mistique, and memories all his own. And to do that he's going to have to win at least 1 if not 2 titles as "the man" on his team.

I think he can do it. His game has really moved outside and while your body might start breaking down at age 30 you can still jam from outside until 35. There's no way the Lakers don't get someone big to join him before he's 32-33.
