Hard to say. I actually think that Kobe will have the better season if his health is good enough. If not, D-Rose for sure.



Westbrook is not the second best point guard in the league... Everyone said Kobe was too old last year and he had a streak of 40 Pt+ games. Stop trying to use Kobe's age against him until it shows that it is going to slow him down. He is not Tracy McGrady.



Do you hate Kobe by any chance? Last year he did everything he could to help out his team. He passed the ball and had games where he had double-digit assists. He has trust in Pau and Nash. The trust is there until someone proves time after time that they can't be counted on to do anything and he takes over and does a pretty good job at it.

Ok you definitely don't understand basketball at all. How did he do everything for his team last year? Dwight Howard was going to run the team and be the next Wilt or Shaq but Kobe wanted the ball too much. He never have Dwight the chance to be the main person on the team even though that's what the organization and the team needed. Focusing on your center is the best way to win a championship, just look at Bill Russell

I think Rose and Russ will do good. Kobe will still play good of course because he's epic, but I think it's time he calls it quits and rests in the Hall Of Fame.

Westbrook is gonna have a stellar year, I can just feel it. Kobe's gonna have another Kobe year, but I have this gut feeling that Russell is gonna pulls some shit. OKC is most likely going to eat the first half of the season like they usually do, and run into whatever problem they might have in the second half.

Based on everything I've stated it is obvious I do understand basketball. Looks like you need to reread because I stated he did everything he could to help his team, I never said he did EVERYTHING for them. And actually, it's more to it than just Kobe. The coach does not have a real gameplan which implements a Center the way it's normally used in LA. And don't forget that early on Dwight was struggling. He was getting the ball stolen, couldn't score even when he did get the ball at times. He still had to get healthy. Steve Nash went down and Kobe HAD to take control of the ball. If Dwight can't be Dwight and Nash is injured and even Pau got injured, what else is there to do offensively? Kobe's assist numbers increased because he tried to get others involved and get them going if he could, but do you remember that game against Toronto where Kobe had to make 3-4 3's to send the game into overtime and then had to be clutch in OT for them to win it?

I would HAPPILY agree with you on having a great center being the formula for winning championships if this wasn't 2013 where teams with crappy centers such as the Heat have won championships without one. Dwight Howard is great but he does not possess the offensive arsenal of those such as Kareem, Olajuwon, Russell, Wilt, Shaq, or any of those dominant centers.
