  That's the worst thing about Kobe, dude can't make his teammates better for the life of him.

  He doesn't try. He makes his teammates adapt to him. Most players in the league who have been on this kind of superstar level were the same way.

  So we should expect Butler to rape some chick in the near future?

  Holinger was talking about Kobe on the Rome show(radio) today. He said that Kobe doesn't necessarily do things on the court to make guys better, but his "Drive" and determination really boost the guys around him. His prime example was Pau, he said that he was always a very talented guy, but it wasn't until he got traded that he learned how to get that killer instinct.
  
  I don't think that Kobe is on Jordan's level skill wise, but what he was saying about his attitude really reminded me of MJ.

  I would say he is on par with or better then Jordan skill level wise, the difference is talent level where Jordan is better then Kobe

  I think Kobe is better than MJ, but of course Lebron is better than both of them.
  
  But, but he doesn't have rings! LOL
  
  Rings are team awards, and Lebron is by far the greatest player I have ever seen play the game of basketball, and you can take that to the bank.

  Yeah, I think I'll take Caron Butler's opinion over yours.

  LOL, what? Of course he learned things from him--he learned about work ethic and drive, he said it himself. My opinion is the opposite of Butlers, in fact they aren't even related.

  Kobe's been playing with Odom for how long now? And they still haven't figured out how to play that well together offensively?
