Good to hear from Kobe, he shouldn't be focused on taking the game over if his teammates are playing poorly, that should just be more motivation to pass the ball and try to get them started. Kobe's gotta trust his teammates, this team is more talented than the teams we've had in the past several years. He should be focused on spot-up shooting and passing the ball, Kobe is a very underrated passer imo.
He could easily average 7+ assists per game if he really tried.
Yeah, it's kind of a Catch-22 for Kobe, imo. For 20 years, the best way for him to help the team has been through his scoring. Now, this year, if he scores at his normal level, it can hamper the growth of the youngsters. I think the biggest question is how long can he stay patient?
