He can't because the mindset with this team is that if you don't get your 15 shots per game, you just don't have to play defense, and you don't have to be aggressive at all. Kobe, after 51 games last season... 27.5 PPG on 47.6% FG, 5.0 APG, 21 FGA, 3.8 3PT FGA After 51 games this season... 28.0 PPG on 46.1% FG, 4.6 APG, 22 FGA, 4.2 3PT FGA Not much of a difference, at all. Last season we were champs, and people wanted to win. This season, I have no idea what their problem is...but it has nothing to do with Bryant's play.
