Kobe on Dwight: "The team is his. It should be his."

It doesn't work like that son. Kobe is still a functioning part of this monster team, there's no way it succeeds without him or Dwight.

What are you talking about? Sorry, just unclear what you're responding to.
I agree with what you just said btw.

Cmon you dont actually believe this?

Its like when your dad tells you youre the man of the house when dad goes to work. But daddy can come home at anytime and show whos boss.

I don't. Kobe wouldn't pass the torch to anyone. (you know.. because he just doesn't pass) He's gonna hog the ball, chuck shots and be THE man till his hands and legs fall of.

Kobe: "I'll play 2-3 more years. Then the team is his. I'm excited b/c they have a player that can carry the franchise well after I'm gone."

Not surprised that an SI hack would misquote Kobe.

Upon closer listen (lousy audio in the scrum) KB says, "I'll play 2-3 more years. And then the team is his (continue original quote)

Why would Kobe defer to Howard on offense anyway? Kobe is still a far superior in terms of offense.

[Ikill]

The whole "whos team is it" shit is so stupid what the **** does that mean.Dwight and Bynum are basically the same on offence they shoot the same number of shot attempts, play the same way, are really efficient. They also dont pass the ball, are turnover prone, and are complete blackhole on offence. The offence should not be built around Dwight the Laker offence got worse this year with Bynum getting more touches. Dwight should just play a Tyson Chandler role let Nash set him up and focus on making the Lakers the best defensive team in the NBA. Kobe should shoot less next year and give up some ball handling to Nash not Dwight. Kobe should take like 18-20 shots a game

Does Kobe even have a say in this? Dwight Howard if he stays fit next year will be comfortably the more effective player thus he becomes the man with or without Kobe blessing... Ala Lebron in Miami, but I can see Kobe having a bitch fit and bricking Lakers out of the playoffs.
