[MANNAM Hot Issue]Losing All-Stars Lakers!

By Hindson H.

If you follow NBA in any sense you'll know that the Los Angeles Lakers has been scrutinized in all ways and by everyone. They've haven't lived up to what many had expected and has many fans disappointed. Will they be able to turn it around in time for the playoffs? Or will they crash and burn and have the Lakers going into chaos heading into the next season?

Let's look at one person who was brought in to help seek after another championship - Steve Nash. We all know he doesn't have many years left in him but as one of the top assists play makers in the league, you know that this is all part of the Lakers win now mentality.   

Recently Kobe's been helping taking on the role that Steve Nash was brought in to do and guess what? They have been winning .. that's 3 in a role before dropping one against the Suns. According to bleachersreport.com,

"Over the course of the season, Nash has averaged 11.5 points and 8.1 assists, all while taking just under nine shots a game.

In the last two games in which Kobe has become the team's main distributor, Nash has averaged 15 points but just 3.5 assists, taking 11 shots in each game.

There's a stark contrast in his role, and he seems to be fine with it" (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1505806-breaking-down-steve-nashs-new-role-if-kobe-bryant-is-distributor).

Check out what he had to say about it after the win against the Thunders.
