Like Gil has said on more than one occasion... if he didn't have shooters like 'Tawn and Caron on the team, he would probably be taking 10-20 more shots a game. And making them.

That's a really good point. It's also a reason Arenas should get some MVP votes. If I recall, when it was him, Jamison and Hughes, they were also the leading scoring trio in the NBA. Arenas scores, but he still plays point guard and keeps guys involved. That's very important for a scorer.

In Kobe's defense though, he's really only got Lamar Odom to play with. Bynum sucks, Kwame's not much better and Walton is just now coming on. There's not much around Kobe. I don't think much of Parker either. Still, I think he likes it that way.
