Maybe he got his answer today? His Twitter is being obliterated after that LA/DAL game...Kobe with 38/12/7 and 13-21 shooting, 4-5 from three.

Dude, lol...Kobe is playing like his life is on the line.

Kobe and Harden debatable? Nah man, even if I hated Kobe Bryant, I can't agree with that. I can say that Harden is the second-best two-guard in the NBA, and that Harden and Wade are debatable, but it would be very hard for me to say he's the top SG. Kobe may be the best player on the Lakers, but this isn't the offense he wanted, and not the coach he expected OR the big man or PG he thought would show up. I try to take it easy on Nash, though, because he was injured for FAR too long, up there in age, and changing his game (as mentioned), and Dwight for coming off a major surgery...but I can't fault Kobe at all for this season's performance. Even when he was shooting over 50% for the season, playing the best defense he has played in his career (statistically), and leading the league in scoring...the Lakers were still losing and out of the playoffs. But again, I can't take Harden over Kobe, even if I tried to make a case for him. As much as I WANT to take Durant over LeBron at SF (Durant is my second favorite player, Thunder second-favorite team, and I HATE James)...I still have to set bias aside and say LeBron is the best player in the league (ugh). The day it happens, though, because it eventually will...I'll give the nod to Harden over KB.
