Of course, but had he made the shots, all praise would have gone to him.
It's up to Kobe to discover his limitations. He can make a shot from
any angle at any time and I'd rather him "jack up shots" more than
anyone else on the Lakers. Some nights it'll work, some not. It's up
to Kobe to decide if his teammates can be relied on or not. I trust his
judgment on a game-to-game basis over any of the couch potatoes here.
