Kobe's injury and decision to skip the All Star Game
It's good that Kobe has been resting for the past few games, however, I disagree that he decided to play through so many games while he was injured. His team is so well loaded that even without him, I'm confident to say that they would still get the top spot in the West. Kobe, being Kobe, is just pushing himself too much. He shouldn't be working hard rather working smartly. Thus, he should be resting himself and focusing on April to June rather than pushing himself to the limit during the regular season. His competitiveness is getting too much of him. I have a fear that he could get another injury around April and be out for the rest of the playoffs. My playoff prediction is that with Kobe, the Lakers are getting the trophy again, without Kobe, you definitely see them in the 2nd round, maybe the Conference Finals but maybe not in the Finals.
