double team Kobe at this stage in his career...sure, he'll have gms where he goes off but he can't do it night in and night out any longer and just because it's a shortened season doesn't mean fatigue won't be a factor for them legs come playoff time w/all these back-to-back-to-back gms they league has scheduled...

they had old ass Kid and Marion who's no spring chicken taking turns guarding him...and if you force Paul to become a scorer, it neutralizes his strength which is to get other players involved.


>you cant double kobe and leave paul open bcuz he will kill
>you with his jumper or with the second pass
