Kobe's played well this entire season, not just these past few games.
The difference is with these past few games he's seemed to be more committed to getting his teammates involved. I know that there are those of you who will say he's been trying to do that all season. You might be right to a certain extent, I just don't think you can do that in a meaningful way while shooting the ball 20 or 30 times. We'll see if he can keep it up.
To be honest, I don't know if the knock against Kobe has been that he can't pass. Contrarily, it's that he won't pass. The next month or so will show if he can sustain his pass-first (or at least not revert back to his shoot-only) approach. The Lakers have seven consecutive road games ahead with the finale coming in South Beach. Should be a decent test to see if they've truly turned the proverbial corner. At least five of them are easily winnable. So they should have no problem going at least 5-2, if not 6-1, even 7-0
if this "Kobe Johnson" shows up consistently.
On another note, will someone tell this nikka to stop saying that the only reason that he decided (
) NOT to be Magic Johnson was that he stopped growing at 6'6". As if what made Magic Magic was those extra 3 inches.

I don't know whats more hilarious, the dudes on here that love Kobe like he birthed them or the ones that hate him like an absentee father. I personally judge players based on what they do on the court, but there's a whole lot of TMZ type posters on this board 
Lol @ playing the fence. I'm just saying, it seems unhealthy to love/hate someone who much that neither knows nor cares you exist. Kobe is an athlete, not a politician or someone whose personal life should matter all that much. It's not a manly trait to be a gossip, all these comments about who he is married to or speculation about whether or not he has friends sound like they're coming from females 
i think you may be right.
