Once he learns how to settle in ... he will be all right. I try to tell him sometimes go easy and pick your spots ... jab, jab, jab and then hook. But with him right now it's like hook, hook, hook, hook. But he is a great offensive player. He might get the start.

That's going to be his place in history. Right now, he's really focused and feels like it's his league. Before the 81 points, Kobe should have been getting his due as far as the MVP.

although argue argument best bet consider good james small worthy
He's one of the best small forwards ever. You could argue he's the best, although I'll bet you James Worthy would probably have a good argument about that. But he's an all-around player. And I consider myself to be an all-around player.
