It's been Kobe for about 10 years now.

Thanks Dexmore for clearing that up for me. I figured it was Kobe but didnt know if it would take the ball up court all the time cause or if he shared that duty with fisher.

Kobe doesnt bring the ball up every time.

Basically Fisher and Kobe.

Walton is hilarious because all he does is rotate the ball from place to place. We play 4-5 with him on the floor. Such a **** stupidly built team.

We need a real point guard to run the team. Lakers have too many dumb players run the ball, that's why are turn over is so high.

You don't need a point in the Triangle, pretty much anybody can initiate the offense.

That is not true that you don't need a pg. Kobe has secretly playing pg almost his whole career. MJ and Scottie didn't need a pg because Scottie was a real point forward. Maybe the only one ever.
You also can use a guy 6'7 at C but it doesn't make it a good idea.
The Lakers have won championships without a real pg yes but they had the 2 best players in the game on the same team at the time.
Just imagine how good they would be if they had a real pg? A playmaking pg.

It is beyond time to start to think how do we extend Kobe's career.
Well here is how

Get him goto scorers-They have done that with Gasol and soon Bynum
Get him a pg who can be the playmaker-They have done the opposite
Get him a sf who can guard the best player-They have done the opposite

Michael Jordan was able to be MJ for so long not just because of his conditioning but also the way the team was built around him. They gave him the sf who can do all the things Kobe has to do in Pippen and all the shooters and playmaker and defender.
The only advantage Kobe has is scoring big men which MJ never had.
Now I know there is no Pippen out there to be had but they could at least get him a defender at the 3 and should be able to get a pg that makes plays.
Maybe Felton for Farmar or something to that extent.
