Big bill goes nice pick I guess that means I am next on the clock.. nobody is going to like my pick... 
Hey, this is about building the best and strongest team, not the most "popular" ... much as we love to hate Kobe, there are few people who can objectively say that he isn't one of the best of all time. I support the pick. (TP)
You could argue that his "shooting habits" would negatively effect a team filled with other great scorers though.
But would he have developed the same shooting habits on a team rich in other scorers? I doubt it ... not under Phil Jackson.
I don't know... Some guys are just chuckers / ball hogs by their nature. I don't know if Kobe "plays well with others" enough to get the most out of his teammates. He needs to dominate the ball, and with up to 12 other Hall of Famers, I wonder.
Still, we're picking nits, really. Like I said earlier, it's difficult to have a truly bad pick in this draft. Rather, it's arguing over preferences.
Like me picking a center over Magic Johnson.
Yeah, Hakeem wouldn't have been my first choice, but he's absolutely defensible.
The other thing to remember is that we're not talking best players here, we're talking best *seasons*. That opens things up a little more for interpretation.
