SOFI and Bach your both wrong about Lebron James he is listed as forward.

I agree with back that Kobe took way to many shots in that game there where two occasions that come to mind in the final minute during the rally where kobe had a trailing luke walton on one occasion for a very easy lay in instead he went up for a difficult layup that resulted in a trip to the line where he was anything but his normal self, shooting 66% instead of his normal 80% +.
Then there was another occasion where he could of once again dished the ball off on a steal and once again went to the rack and got to the line, it resulted in four points but the way he was shooting that night from the line it could have easily been only one point. My point is he didnt rely on any of the others on the court which is going to kill the Lakers in the long run, sometimes you have to feed that guy who is hustling down the court if anything to boost his confidence and maybe get him into the game more.
Look im a dir hard Lakers fan but i was not imprsssed at all by the Lakers in that game they played terriably the second half where stagnet standing around watching kobe dribble around throwing up all kinds of shots.
Kobe had a great feed to Kwame in the first half where Kwame put it down like a champ, its those kind of little things that he does need to do in the second half to get the others more involved down the stretch.
Yes i want kobe to take the last second shot, who wouldnt but sometimes he needs to realize that he cant do it all, I wish he could but he can not.
I dont ever expect him to pass like Nash, But if he is tripled team I do expect him to play smart ball and pass it to an open player. Sofi is right u can not ask a guy thats been shooting his whole life to pass though and there in lies the problem.
