I'm a laker fan. I know their are a lot of Kobe haters, but I respect him because he always plays hard no matter what his condition is. Also, I mean the franchise as a whole. When you look at the legends of back then, players like Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Ervin "Magic" Johnson, Wilt Chaimberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabar, and "Big Game" James Worthy. They also have 14 championships which is 2 less than their old rivals the celtics. With the Celtics a pretty much dead franchise now, the lakers are my favorite. Also, Kobe had 4.5 assists last year as a SHOOTING guard. Thats pretty average for a shooting guard. Cmon Jason Terry had 3.7 as a point guard and no one calls him a ball hog. I also think Steve Nash is overrated. I mean, I know he can run an offence and get a lot of assists, but when you have a high percentage shooting team, its not that hard. I think the best point guard right now is Allen Iverson because the guy is scoring over 30 points a game and gets 10 assists at the same time. Not to mention the fact that his rookie year he crossed over non other than the legendary MICHAEL JORDAN!!!

I follow Big Ben Wallace wherever he goes i root for but ive been a pistons fan since i was 10 go old school rodman g-hill, Stackhouse and joe dumars. And Arx7 your totally right there are waaayyy to many kobe haters our there the man doesnt have much of a team around him right now with lamar odom and bynum unproven and they have bilwaltos son and he sucks he sucked when he went to Arizona for college. Yea he threw up 81 in a game but this year he only is avg 18 a game but almost 8 asst, come on he came back from injury!, Any other player would probabaly be throwing up shots to try and get their rythm back but hes distributing the ball for the good of his team and no one talks about that!..

I used to be a big fan of NBA, i used to wake up at 6am in summer just to watch NBA
