Vince Carter says that Kobe shouldn't score eighty-one for the kids.
Here's what Carter said about Kobe's amazing performance on Sunday:
"The only bad thing about it is that younger kids, whose minds are easily warped, are going to think, 'Ohhh! I am going to go out there and do it instead of (honoring) the team concept first.' That is what is missing in the game, guys understanding how to play as a team. I think it is great for (the NBA): They want scoring, they want ratings, and you are going to get that. You are definitely going to get them now with the amount of 50-point games, 60-plus games. I just hope that kids and young guys understand that (only) special guys can do that. Yeah, the (other Lakers) were trying to get Kobe the ball, they wanted to see a special night. But they all know their roles."
This comes from a guy who completely tanked last season in Toronto so he could get traded. But he is Kate's favorite NBA player so I'm probably going to get yelled at for being critical of him.
