p.s. The Lakers would be pretty damn solid w/o Kobe Bryant. They would still have Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Fisher, and Walton, whatever that foreign guy with the girl haircut's name is and Phil Jackson as a coach. Kobe is just really good at providing the illusion that he is the team. In reality, he's a taller and perhaps slightly more egotistical Allen Iverson, and nothing more.

Criticisms like this are so ridiculous, Kobe is one of the top defenders in the NBA, that alone separates him from someone like A.I. Look at his assist numbers, watch some Laker games, the past few years he's looked for his shot out of need, now he defers to his teammates.
