He didn't, Phil is just playing chess

Phil is looking at the Miami Heat and salivating right now. Miami b*tches/weather, Lebron, Wade, Bosh, and Riley. Sh*t about to be the basketball Illuminati

“Oh, they’re– they’re using LeBron every possible way they can. He’s such a great player. I still think his game is gonna grow. I still think it’s gonna grow. But he was like Scottie Pippen was to the Bulls. He’s maybe a pass first and shoot second player. Whereas, you know, Michael or Kobe are like, “I’m gonna shoot this ball.” Every time they get the ball, they’re looking to score. LeBron’s not like that. And I love that about him. But he also, when he goes after scoring, he’s also terrific. You want a player that can do both. I tried to get Kobe to do both for numbers of years, and he could. But his first instinct is to beat the guy that’s in front of him.”

Yea.....because Kobe & Mike worked out so bad for you

Nothing to read into (although with Phil you never know) just saying he wanted him to be more of a complete player and facilitator. It's ironic though, because while Kobe does need to play like LeBron at times, LeBron needs to play like Kobe at times too (being more aggressive in crunch time, "having killer instinct"
