It's no secret that Steve Nash was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for a few mediocre and pointless draft picks, but the real story behind this is how he is going to coexist alongside Kobe Bryant, a man who has been the unquestioned focal point of the Lakers' offense ever since 2003.
Is
Kobe Bryant willing to relinquish control of the ball to Nash? Would he
be fine taking three or four fewer shots per game? Is he okay letting
other guys on his team be the hero at the end of the game? And most of
all, is he willing to share the limelight with another superstar for the
first time since playing with Shaquille O'Neal?
For the most part, it seems that Kobe is on board with the idea for now, but will that ring true for the remainder of the season, or will the Kobe of old rear his ugly head?
Assuming
that Bryant and Nash are capable of playing alongside each other for
the purpose of conversation, let's take a look at how the Lakers offense
is going to look with Nash at the helm, specifically based on how Nash
impacts Kobe.
