I never said he doesn't PASS the ball. Maybe I did...ha! I don't remember. I'm saying that as a leader, there's a time to get in teammate's faces, and there's a time to give a grown man some space.
Look, not to compare the two forever, but I see some major differences in how Jordan decided to lead his team and how Kobe has decided to lead his team.
Jordan bought into the triangle, where it's been said Kobe goes away from the Triangle offense more than Jordan ever did. Yah, Jordan was the man. But even he bought into the roles of everyone on the team. He knew the importance of his teammates and MADE THEM BETTER. Kobe wants his teammates to do more.
I tell you this story. Steve Kerr once in practice got so sick of Jordan trash talking him, that he finally threw down and punched MJ in the face! He gave Jordan a black eye. Yet, the team won a championship that year, and the next I believe.
Let's say that Luke Walton did that. Got pissed, punched Kobe in the face. I guarentee that within a week, Kobe would get Walton traded off his team.
Great player! Unbelievable talent! I just have yet to see the teamwork of a championship team under Kobe's guidance.
edit: tps, don't take this as a personal slam ok? You can like Kobe all you want. I mean this for everyone to read and respond to.
