Basketball being a team sport, one man shooting too much destroys team chemistry and, Kobe being 35, you think he should have known better by now. Nope. Not the case with him, though, where scoring the ball is concerned. Clearly he’s concerned with his legacy more than the needs of his team. Kobe has just crossed 30,000 career points mark and appears determined to move further up the scoring ladder at all cost.
And at what cost in deed. As of today, the mighty Lakers have a 14-15 win loss record and stands 11th place in a 15-team conference.
And his selfishness makes teammates unhappy, particularly Dwight. Dwight, 27, is in his prime and, when he gets the touches, can do a lot of damage.
A case in point:
In the season’s second game, a 116-106 win over Portland, Dwight was cheerful enough to get 33 points, 14 rebounds and five assists. A notorious free-throw shooter, Dwight made 15-19 free throws that night.
To be sure, he had to have a lot of touches of the ball to do that.
Which is the point for Kobe to heed – other teammates need to have the ball also, especially the two tall All-Star centers, Dwight and two-time world champion Pau Gasol.
But apparently Kobe doesn’t seem to always feel the need to accommodate the two centers because that ball hog is so self-centered.
Pardon the pun but that’s the point with Kobe. He’s so big-headed and stubborn that teammates cannot argue with him.
