1 Assist

If I hear one more Lakers fan say, "Let's see Player X play with a broken index finger, bad back, bum ankle, and lower back strain," I'm going to start effin throwing things. Lakers fans defend Kobe like he is their mother. Your boy is not perfect. It's ok if he has an off game. It happens.

But since you guys deem it a fair excuse for poor shooting numbers, here's an idea: pass the rock. You have to change the way you shoot because of your finger? Pass the rock. Can't get elevation on the jumper? Pass the rock. You see that ostrich looking dude with the huge mismatch down low? A couple touches every now and then wouldn't hurt. Jeff Green? Nenad Krstic? Nick Collison? Yeah, they can't guard him, but Kobe insists on taking contested jumpers. Gasol would score 40 and the Lakers would win by double digits if Kobe passed him the ball.

Luckily for the haters, including myself, the Lakers won't win the title with Kobe playing like this.

[Chris Rock] Yeah, I said it [Chris Rock]
