To say Kobe doesn't make his teammates better like Nash and Duncan is "BULL!!" How many other teams in the NBA would start Smush Parker and Luke Walton? Nash as Marion (Allstar caliber), Stoudemire (Allstar), Bell (Defensive specialist and excellent shooter), and Barbosa (Sixth Man of the Year) all of whom can start on most teams. Duncan also plays with four or five players that can start on most NBA teams. Surround Kobe with two other players that can start on any team in the league and he will win another championship.

Kobe's a ballhog ? Incorrect, he has to make those shots because his team is ridiculous except Odom and Radmanovic which are both injured by the way. Smush cant defend if his life depended on it he also takes poor shot selections. Ronny is ok but hes still learning, Aaron Mickee is getting old and hes retiring from the lakers. Shammond didn't step up like he was supposed to in the regular season but he is also injured, we also don't know his specialty except from the 3 point line which he hasn't been knocking down. Luke was big at the beginning of the season, he was making his shots and he was the facilitator but now hes got that ankle injury, Andrew just like Ronny is they are both still learning the game of basketball, Sasha seems to idolize the way kobe plays and tries to be like him which he shouldn't, he should try to make and those shots like he did in his second year. I mean seriously people need to get off the hating bandwagon and appreciate Kobe's talent.

First of all, he is not the best right now. Look to players who make their teams better like Nash and Duncan. Kobe has the same problem Jordan had early in his career. He doesn't make the players around him better, he tries to do it himself. You won't make it far in the playoffs by scoring 50 by yourself. You must play good solid basketball i.e. good defense and good assists. Why everyone hates him? Because he comes across as very stuck up. The alleged criminal acts along with the suspensions for hitting people have greatly reduced his fan base. And on the Lakers note, I feel they would be a better team without him, they may not win as much, but I think they would play better.

Kobe has to take the game into his hands because the lakers not stepping up and helping him. If his teammates can make shots and plays he will trust them and give them the ball more instead of having Kobe bail them out and getting them back in the game.

because he is so good and is so confident...which people confuse with being arrogant. People confuse a ball hog with being aggressive offensively...which by the way Dallas could have used from the so called MVP Nowitski. There was another ball hog in the NBA that is considered the best ever and was well liked...Michael Jordan. People will regret hating on a guy like Kobe when they are older and all of his accomplishments and highlights are reminisced; spending so much time hating that they couldn't enjoy the rare spectacular skills he possessed, energy, passion he brought and undeniable will that he forced upon his opponents.

Kobe's the man. Hes a ball hog because he has to be. w/o him the lakers would be getting oden this year. I think people actually hate him because of gold digging Prostitutes or the cry baby shaq. Get Kobe a legitimate center and another quality 2nd man and they will be a top tier team
