They can be basket cases all they want to. They can still score in the paint. Bynum can get his shot down there, but there are games where he's only gotten 8 shots or so, while Kobe jacked up 25+. That's evidence. Kobe never liked the whole inside out thing. He was saying that with Shaq playing with him. He even said that this year.
This sentence is key right here. Jordan said that and that implies that he would at least run the offense and if it didn't work, he would get the best shot available. Kobe on the other hand would just break the offense and go for his shot. 2004 NBA Finals is proof enough. He was part of the reason they lost in 5 games.
Of course you'll dispute that, but I watched that series and he didn't have any regard for the team at all and shot them right out that series.
