...Wrong. Cleveland runs a junior high school offense - give it to LeBron and get out of the way. The Lakers, on the other hand, run the "triangle" set, which relies on pinpoint spacing and smart cuts to the basket to create openings for Kobe's supporting cast. So if you needlessly double-team him, Kobe will find the open man. Unlike in years past, Kobe is willing to pass the ball, and he does it quite well, thank you. Part of his newfound generosity is due to the fact that he now has All-Star-quality teammates in Pau Gasol...

...where he was from--South Bend, Ind.--he had a real love of pop culture and celebrity. He used to tell me, "I went to the movies to see people like Natalie Wood and Judy Garland." He was taken with that part of the business. But he was smart enough to know he could cover that with a more offbeat intellectual style. That was his great gift, his ability to connect the more commercial with the abstract. His track record shows that his instinct was always to go with stars and large films. And at one point I said...
