I am NOT a laker's friend at all nor I like kobe any bit.
But I am here to express my deepest respect on how Kobe adapts to the situation and involves,facilitate and motivate his teammates rather than being a pure scorer.
(attitude of the team leader > scores he gets)
I actually watch Lakers' games now.
(I never liked the pure scorer type -- e.g. melo/AI/kobe before the recent games)
