Kobe's back to saying that he doesn't have the tools to play his game.  In response to the suggestion that Michael Jordan wouldn't have allowed his team to blow a 13-point lead in game 3, Kobe did what he always does, complained that he didn't have the right kind of help:

"One big difference," he said. "Michael had Scottie Pippen. He had someone who could distribute the ball and keep everyone else involved."

Bryant momentarily sighed.

"Michael could come out and shoot the ball 40 times a game," Bryant said. "I can't do that."

Again, he smiled.

"Having someone like Pippen would be a big luxury for me, because scoring is what I do best, but it's OK," he said. "It's a challenge, and I welcome the challenge."

Even with Pippen, I don't think Jordan ever had as much talent around him as Kobe does now.  Of course, Michael was 10 times the competitor that Kobe is, so I'm not surprised by his comments.

The rest of the article is telling.  The Lakers are having some chemistry problems.
