    Does kobe really make lakers better?

    Guy is a ball stopper and ball hog. Taking all the shots. Scoring a ton on high volume and team is losing by A ton. Lol. Maybe we should side with Dwight Howard on this issue.

    Yeah, he helps them maybe win 20 instead of 15. Lakers are garbage. Kobe has zero chance of winning another ring with the Lakers. Zero.

    Kobe got like 25 shot attempts. The next closest has 8, only because of rebounding misses.

    This will be the most enjoyable train wreck to watch in recent memory unless Kobe gets injured and is out the year again

    for real im not sure if its was running shaq off or him being such a brat or what but I haven't heard anybody say anything about how bad they feel about kobe ending his career on horrible laker teams....he must be a major Asshole by they i'm talking local media talking heads and beat writers. in order for the lakers to win hes going to have to be vintage kobe 30+ a night who else can score...you could see it on kobes face when randle went down it was that " the guy who could help me with the scoring load just went down"

    of course kobe makes them better. he's got 31 and the 4th quarter hasnt started yet.

    not his fault none of the other starters have made more than 2 fgs and have allowed 13 threes to the suns.

    without kobe, the lakers would be the 2013-4 sixers.

    That's true. But what good does it do to pay Kobe 24 mil for 2 worthless seasons.

    I wonder if they might somehow end up trading him. Not sure how easy that would be with his contract though.

    LA fans wont come to games without a star...kobe is still a mega star on the decline they'd trade everybody on the team before they thought of trading kobe

    kinda sad when its only the 2nd game of the season they are already doing the dramatic camera shot on kobe on the bench looking frustrated...you know for a guy like him to lose blow out after blow out not even being able to compete has to be killing him... Going to be a long season.

    Too bad they wont be relevant at all. If they could actually compete and win some games you know they would have made a big trade to make a playoff run.

    reminds me of the 2005-6 season when it was kobe and bunch of scrubs like kwame brown and smush parker. still finished 45-37 and made the playoffs thanks to kobe's 35ppg.

    Pathetic team with zero direction....Just paying an over the hill Kobe a shit ton with no hope for the next 2 years

    Would be wise for Kobe and the Lakers to make a trade and start the rebuild asap

    You can see why others don't want to play with kobe. The whole offense revolves around getting him the ball and watching. If lucky and oponnents triple team him u may get the ball for a late heave. The story by espn was true. Clear example are these two games to begin season.

    Nothing better to do than hate on Kobe. HE scored 31 points in just 3 quarters and sat out the entire 4th qtr. The highest scorer for the Suns was 21points (Morris). Lakers were just watching Kobe score. Byron Scott even said "his team needs to move around and not watch, create spacing to make it easier for Kobe to feed the ball"

    A Volume Scorer in what was supposed to be a Princeton Offense. The same Princeton Offense, Mike Brown was fired at Kobe's behest for trying to implement. Will Byron be fired after 3 games like Brown was?

    The difference between Brown and Byron is that Brown was NOT Kobe's friend...and would never have allowed the ball stop in Kobe's hand as the Princeton requires constant ball movement. He would never have allowed Kobe to take 25 shots in 3 quarters...he would never have allowed Kobe to take the ball out of Jeremy Lin's hands before he crossed half court...

    What the Lakers have essentially done is ignore what was best for the team and acquiesced to Kobe's selfish demands by hiring not 1...but 2 coaches who were Kobe's friends growing up. D'antoni and Kobe were as thick as thieves in Italy..and Byron was of course his peer mentor in Kobe's rookie year...

    NBA coaches are like fathers...ya father is not ya friend....Kobe will do what ever the hell he wants while his teammates stand and around and watch...and i suspect Jim Buss is perfectly fine with that because it will guarantee a bottom 5 lottery pick..The team is tanking....but Laker fans do not seem to realize it....LOL

    Who's hating on Kobe? Aside from the fact that he took too much money, it's not his fault the team is bad. But they are. And he can't fix it. And it won't be fixed. He will never appear in another playoff game for the Lakers.

    Kobe is a competitor.

    Can't blame him for wanting the ball and taking the shots.

    Look at the talent around him... would you pass the ball if you were him?

    Lakers have played 2 games. Kobe jacked up like 40+ shots in like 6 qtrs. both resulted in laker blowouts. Why not try a different approach Byron. When kobe got it going then fine shoot. But u never going to win a basketball game of 5 on 5 playing 1 vs 5.
