It's been said, and I agree, that great players are the ones that make everyone else look good, or make good players better.
Kobe has NEVER done that naturally, though he's refused to shoot, racked up assists at times, even talked a team game once in a while, but he's never, ever, been a team player. I think the only thing he's learned over the years is that he needs a team to get HIM a championship, not that the team itself is what wins championships.
I think, down deep, he's still an uber-talent preps-to-pros spoiled, selfish, over-indulged, arrogant kid. I'd bet my paycheck that Lebron follows a similar path, neither developing the maturity that KG managed as he grew into a man. Neither will ever truly be a man, always blaming someone else when they come up short.
