He is a ball hog. He plays so much more then the other ALL STARS in the league. HE even played 6 minutes more then Nash per game. ANd only had 1 rebound more then Nash. He didnt even average 1 steal or block a game. and he is 6 ft 6 and a guard.////
He is not a super star until he learns to pass.

i don't know if either a fan of kobe or i'm just here to love to hate him.
the only reason kobe's shooting attempts and scoring is so high is just this: who the hell is on his team? he does have lamar odom but lamar is a point forward who passes the ball and does some scoring but kobe is the main man. you see when kobe still had shaq, he could barely get a 25ppg. the only reason kobe is more of a ball hog now is simply because he simply has no people to pass to. but this is not to say kobe cannot pass. play offs 2006 he turned into a assist monger with like 7-10 apg. kobe can pass well and can if he has people to pass to. he ball hogs for a reason, not for himself but for the team. if kobe passed so much i doubt if the lakers would even make a play off game.

If Kobe passes the ball the others can shoot, they r in NBA they gotta shoot. Thats why some of the greatest players are known for making the other players better and Kobe is far from that. Once he starts passin, his teammates will make the shots

Kobe does pass, but the media portrays him as a ball hog. All players (except for Iverson) pass the ball. It is a team sport, and one man can't win a game (refer to Jordan from 85 - 89). Kobe is one of the top three players in the NBA. Therefore, he gets all the crap and paprazzi shizz that ruins his rep.

Kobe knows how to pass and his stats will show u that he gets assists. Sure it seems likes he takes alot of shots but that offense runs through Kobe til the Lakers get a solid second and third option(Odom hasnt shown to be 1) I dont see ne reason why they should change the way he plays.

Its not that he doesn't want to pass, but he doesn't know how to set other people up because he never had college experience. College is a very essential part of learning to play basketball. Lebron, kobe, Tmac and others all aren't good aat stiing people up. Besides, all the best players ever went through college: MJ, Magic, Bird, Chamberlain, Dr.J, Nash, Iverson etc.

Kobe played more like a team player last season than I have ever seen him play.
I would like him to continue passing the ball

Until he gets some decent teammates--he should be a ball hog!

None, the problem is that Kobe is the only good player in the Lakers so he should be the one who makes the most points because he is known by his dribling, shooting and dunking skills.
