nice point here. because i wanna point out, this is not something new. when kobe goes decoy, HE GOES COMPLETE AND TOTAL DECOY! when he goes scoring punch, HE GOES TOTAL SCORING PUNCHER!
this is not this year, tonite or lately, THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN that way with kobe.
in other words, hes either 1 or the other. but a TOTAL ZONE kobe is rarely found lately. that is where there is a total fusion with passing mixed with scoring. right timing on passes. correct read on taking it for the shot. i dont see this as phil telling or asking kobe to facilitate. he just picks and chooses when to do so. i totally believe that, because jax doesnt order kobe to do anything. just lets him find his way. hes always been that kind of coach.
this season is a new journey for kobe. his journey after shaq was to win one without him. mission completed. now this new journey calls for him to blaze a new path, a path that will lead him to become the greatest player OF THIS GENERATION. right now its shaq 4 rings. kobe 4 rings. duncan 4 rings. kobe wins another, he steps out and head of all of 'em.
but this journey is a tough road to go down.
