Its okay for him to team up and win titles, anybody else does it and theyre ring chasing(aka the goal of every player every single year, to win a ring)

Your just not getting it. Kobe is the Superstar, he never left his team. Lebron is the Superstar, he left his team. Melo is the Superstar, he left his team. Bosh is the Superstar, he left his team. Amare is the Superstar, he left his team. Does not matter if they were traded or not because in each case they could have re-signed with their team before their contract was up (ala Kevin durant,Kobe Bryant) or told them they want to re-sign but what changes made.

Bosh is sooooo overrated. I was so happy when he wouldn't accept that trade to cleveland. Though that was when I still thought lbj would resign.

Everyone knew exactly what Kobe was doing and everyone knew Kobe was not going anywhere and it worked.

Bosh thought so before the game:


"Chris Bosh added his name to that of teammate Juwan Howard, who Wednesday said he would vote for the Bulls’ Derrick Rose for Most Valuable Player instead of Miami teammate LeBron James. “I think I would give it to Derrick if I were a voter,” Bosh said at Miami’s shootaround Thursday. “He’s playing like the best point guard in the league and the best player in the league. He’s the most valuable player if you think about it. You take him out of the lineup and there is no telling what you get."

I think he was trying to help Rose's cause by shooting 1-18.

Kobe didn't ask for any of those players. He didn't want gasol. He wanted to do it alone. Haha lakers fans have the biggest blinders of all fans.

As great as Derrick Rose has been, I find it interesting that he has a lower shooting percentage this year compared to his other two years.

Yeah, every team in the NBA is allowed 12 players. Thats the way they set up the league.

Yes and when Kobe had a team with 12 players and no other stars on the team how many titles did he win?

He's getting more points per shot, that's all that really matters. When you take a lot more 3s your fg % will take a hit.
