Kobe can't play with a star at PG or SF.?
People are talking about the Lakers getting Deron Williams, or trying to get some other PG or wing player. The truth is Kobe won't share the ball with another player who plays a siimilar position and handles the ball.

Yes he can, and you would know that if you watched Lakers games more attentively. Kobe has spent half of his life in the NBA, at this stage of his career his only focus is winning championships, and he is willing to take whatever necessary measure to achieve that goal with the Lakers. The notion that Kobe does not share the ball is invalid, preposterous, and irrevocably dumb.
"Kobe completely dominates the ball in the back court and has spent his whole career with dominant big men"
Do you really consider Pau Gasol dominant, because if you do I would be worried.
"Kobe completely dominates the ball in the back court"
You haven't seen a single Lakers playoff game this season, I'm convinced. Would you prefer if he deferred to the often errant shooting of Ramon Sessions?
"Look how he scared off Dwight Howard from playing for Lakers that wasn't a mistake man knew what he was doing"
Thats just a lie. Sources or it never happened.
"Kobe always had sub par backcourt partners, no one can say for sure that he will not be able to play alongside a star guard like Williams."
Exactly. Kobe has never had a superstar in the backcourt along side him. Theoretically, you cannot claim he CANT play with a player if he's never had the opportunity.

if you take a closer look, majority of kobe's shots came from a broken play within the last ten second of a shot clock or what you call bail out shots. the lakers is like "HERES THE BALL KOBE, BEAT THE SHOT CLOCK". So to say kobe dominates a ball just shows you how shallow you observe games. Now, playing with deron will definitely help kobe extend his career as he doesnt have to exert much effort in making those bail out shots

Well Kobe is aging and he can't dominate like he use to. He needs (1) good wing shooters (2) new bench players (3) A PG and a good SF

True don't think Kobe's ego would let him defer to another superstar, like (Deron Williams)He'll probably have some problems if Williams doesn't give him the ball where he likes it..Look how he scared off Dwight Howard from playing for Lakers that wasn't a mistake man knew what he was doing''...

Kobe always had sub par backcourt partners, no one can say for sure that he will not be able to play alongside a star guard like Williams. I say he could though, I'm sure you give Kobe someone like Deron, Rose, or Paul guards that can distribute & score the ball they will run the ball more than Kobe while keeping him happy with his scoring rate.

If Allen Iverson, one of the biggest ballhogs this generation, was able to change his game to have some success with Melo, another shoot first player, I don't see why Kobe can't get along with a PASS first PG.

THANK YOU!
Kobe completely dominates the ball in the back court and has spent his whole career with dominant big men. It's the only way he knows how to play.

youve just seen Kobe not share that much because he never had that much help, Kobe never had a great PG so how would you even know?
hop off Lebrons nuts

Kobe needs a center that is not Andrew Bynum. He shined with Shaq. He needs Dwight or and other allstar center to help him be better
