All these players involved their teammates in the game. Kobe doesn't. That is the main reason why. Jordan involved his team. The Mailman involved his team. Nash and Dirk involve their team. Kobe doesn't, which is why when his teammates get a chance, they do good. Remember the 62 point game?? No assists. The 81 point game?? 2</div>They win when he has these high scoring games. And the games when he has high assists they lose. After he go critisized last year for his high scoring game (61 I think) he had a double digit assist day and the team lost by 20. You can not fault him for using the only strategy that will let them win. Involving Smush and Lamar isn't the same as involving Pippen and Marion.</div>But then why do the Lakers play good w/o him and the Suns play like shit w/o Nash? I've seen the Lakers play perfectly good when Kobe is on the bench. When Nash rests, I don't see the Suns playing very good. I was at the Bulls-Suns game in January, Nash sat on the bench for 5 minutes of game play, the Bulls opened a 16-point lead with about 9 minutes to play in the game. Nash he comes in, with 2 minutes to play, the deficit is 9. Suns end up winning. Nash is like the quarterback of the Suns.</div>Why did the Knicks seemingly play better without Ewing? Did Ewing hold the team back?
