And Kobe without Shaq will be another Vince Carter. Great talent, won't carry a team. A Larry Bird or Magic make players around them better. Kobe doesn't.

He's also pretty young. You don't think he has the chance to carry a team in they way that Jordan did? I mean, Jordan's teammates hated him too. I think Kobe's problem in LA has been that he isn't the #1 star, which is hard for him. If he was considered The Guy, he's be more than willing to pass a lot more. Kobe wants one thing--to be the greatest player in the game. If that means being part magic, part michael, he'll do his best to find a way.

The really sad thing about Kobe is that he seems less driven by the love of the game than any of the other greats. He seems basically driven by a need to be considered the best, to be like mike. No internal engine...
