Kobe takes all those shots because he is the whole team. Lebron is surrounded by weapons. Kobe does not currently have that luxury
Horsesh!t.
Kobe has probably the 2nd best Center and a top 5 Power Forward. You can't use that excuse. He has options.

Are any of those guys going to the hall of fame? Nope... didnt think so. He has 5 rings. He is a first ballot hall of famer.
Micheal Jordan HIMSELF gave Kobe a ringing endorsement.
That should be all a man needs. Let him take all the shots he wants, when its the fourth quarter. Who would you rather have the ball? Don't worry, I'll wait

I really can't understand why Kobe doesn't want to get them involved all game, for some stretches he feeds them then in the 4th he goes back to playing hero ball. It would be easier on himself and they would win games. They should just trade pau and bynum for Howard because there so underutilized it's pointless to have them both.
Obviously wade and bosh, plus mike miller, James jones, etc are better then the lakers supporting cast, but honestly, would Kobe pass to them? I really don't think he would.

Yes, he has options, but he also has one of the worst PG's (at this stage of his career) and "small" forwards along side him as part of the starting five in the entire NBA. Add that to one of the three worst benches in the NBA and it's not going to bring home any titles or deep playoff runs without some changes.

They should just bring arenas in. Maybe he's healthy and has his speed back, if not it's a minimum contract. Zero risk there. Hell he's better then fisher. I know there starting him because of how much he's done for the franchise but the guy should not be playing more then 10 minutes a night. Huge liability at this point in his career.

Jeez, with kobe getting so much flack, you would think the NEW YORK KNICKS with ANTHONY would receive just as much flack. Not only is he a ball hog, but I think a ball hog with less skill than kobe. thoughts?

Melo is getting a ton of flack, although in his defense he has the best clutch stats in the last 6 years or so, unreal clutch numbers.
I agree with you though. Same type of player without the rings

Just stating he has options, which he does. A strong 4 and 5.

Everyone just knows that for a fact, and commented on the trade last year that the Knicks got the raw end of the deal. Knicks traded their core players for Melo and Chancey. Now they are just left with Melo, since Chancey is a Clipper now.
Melo is out for about 2 weeks with a groin injury. We will see how the Knicks respond.

Kobe doesnt apologize for anything he refuses to say he was wrong when he kept jacking up shots when he was something like 6-28. He made the comment that every shot he took was a 'good' shot, even though several guys watching the tape pointed out open guy after open guy to him.
The guy didnt even apologize for using a gay slur against a ref. He had to read a prepared statement to the girl he raped. The guy has zero conscience, and is probably borderline psychopath.

Kobe as a guy looks like pure scum
Many say he ignores kids a lot unless he has to make fake public appearances required by league
