Saw the replay again and in reality Kobe really should be switched it back to Artest, who had inbounded the ball and was WIDE open. One of my main worries about Kobe is that he always has to take the last shot, regardless of whether it's a good one or not. In a way this result could be a bad thing for LA in the long run as it will further fuel Kobe's idea that he should take the last shot, regardless of whether a team-mate is wide open.
Thats one area of the game I really give Lebron credit as he's proven in the past that he's willing to pass the ball to a wide open team-mate instead of taking the last shot.
