yeah 81 points ain't gonna win you a ring. cuz kobe will not and can not consistently score 81 points a night. thats not possible. kobe turns it on and off, he will shoot the lights out, or he will throw a tantrum and score 19. but like sleezy said, build a team around him..and fire mike kupchak. I don't think they will trade him. they just wanna let him know if they could, they would.
What is supposed to do? Kobe can't win. If he shoots too much, he is a ball hog. If he tries to get his scrub ass teammates involved, they brick shot after shot.
What you fail to realize is he is socred 81 points in the FLOW OF THE GAME. Its not like he said fuck ya'll, I'm not passing. He tried the team thing and it didnt work. So he took the team on his back and GOT HIS TEAM BACK INTO THE GAME. What is so hard to understand about that? he brought his team back from a double digit deficit.
The Lakers management just plain sucks. It's funny though how people overlook the fact that buss refused to pay Shaq, yet blame Kobe for running him off. People forget when Shaq went off in pre season game talking about pay me when he was running up the court. People forget this older big man who was losing a step wanted 30 mil a year to play.
Bottom line it doesnt matter. It has been a few years post Shaq, Mitch Kupcake should have been able to get a better team assemmbled. Who the fuck would give Kwame Brown 9mil a year besides his dumb ass. Or give Radmonivc the full mid level exception?
Bad teams usually have bad managment and blame should start at the top
