The Best NBA Player Right Now?

The next question: Which NBA player other than a teammate would you love to play with? Names such as Miami's Shaquille O'Neal, Nash, Duncan and Garnett came up. No one mentioned Bryant.

Why? Arenas thought it was Bryant's reputation of being hard on teammates. One ex-Laker has said the ultra-competitive Bryant would sometimes not speak to teammates for days if he didn't think they were playing up to par.

"I never really played with him," Arenas said. "I don't really know him. But you hear the stories about how he gets on his players. When you're an NBA player and a man, sometimes you don't want to get talked to like people get talked to sometimes.

"I don't yell at my (teammates). But sometimes I'm like, 'Man, you need to make that shot.' And they get mad at me. I say, 'There is a lot worse than some people yelling at their teammates."'

The other knock on Bryant is it could be hard to play with such a big-time scorer, especially if you're a star. Bryant is averaging an NBA-best 35 points per game and has scored 81 and 62 points in contests this season.

"Some players, they get mad at you," said Arenas, who ranks fourth in the NBA in scoring at 28.3 per game, about scoring big. "I remember Caron (Butler) said something when Kobe had 81. 'You shoot a lot of shots, but if you tried to score 81 I'd be mad at you.' I was like, 'Don't worry, you don't have to worry about nothing like that.' He was like, 'Cool, because I will (be mad)."'

With this Lakers team, it is understandable that Bryant often takes matters into his own hands. Other than forward Lamar Odom, no Laker is an upper-echelon player. And considering that both need the ball to be successful, Odom will always have a hard time flourishing in L.A. because Bryant will always get first, second and third dibs on the ball.

@archer:

ako ganahan ko makigduwa along with Kobe...

bitaw oi, unya kung i-trade si ODOM FOR C.Butler+J.Hayes, okay ra kaha ni Butler noh? hehehe...

[Archer sensAtion]

o kabulo ko ganahan ka mkig duwa niya kay naa kay tumong...hehehehe

hilo-an...or...bali-an ug tiil...


bantay2x ha...ayaw ug kompyansa anang Lacoste...birahi dayon hehehe

[lunateec22]

hehe... tagu-an nako ang sapatos ni Kobe inig sugod sa game nila.

Anyway, Lebron James got the better of "the best player" description when he won the All-Star MVP... he's halfway on his primacy and i think there's still more to come when it comes to awards and recognitions. And more importantly, a ring, which is, if provided with better people around him, shouldn't be far.

butangi nlang ug ok-ok ang sapatos...basin diay ug mo lubad... " mader naay ok-ok akong sapatos, di ko ma carry..."

...youngest MVP si LBJ noh...samot ka frustrated si Lacoste ana...tsk tsk...

[lunateec22]

basin nagsabot pud ang All-Stars sa West na di kaayo pa score-on si Kobe... "bahala na kinsa, ayaw lang si KObe", mao cguro ila sabot, good thing TMac has it going for his home crowd.

[Archer sensAtion]

tingali...kay ingon ra ba to si Arenas nga mo init ang mga ulo sa mga players basta naay mo score ug dako...

[lunateec22]

nahibaw-an pud cguro ni kobe nga mao na ang plano, so he scored 8 pts. wehehehe... sorry.

as far as all-star games are concerned, players usually unite to pass the ball to the player who plays for the location of the event. in this instance, it was T-Mac (Houston) they were throwing the ball to all night long. if you noticed Kobe just passing the ball to T-Mac everytime he got possesion. the thing is, these games usually separates the better players from the great ones "King James", "AI", "Shaq", "KG", "Kobe", "AI", "Tim/Shaq", "MJ". descending order (2006-199.
