If the Lakers are laying waste to the rest of the NBA next season, then Nash will deserve all of the credit. If Nash gets Kobe to play team basketball, then he will be a miracle worker. Like SD said, the reason that the past few Laker point guards have contributed roughly 4 assists per game is that they have been unable to avoid morphing into spectators watching Kobe dribble and force bad shots.

If there is an unselfish basketball player trapped in Kobe's body and Nash can release him, Bryant could have the best season of his career but I just don't see that happening. Kobe helped end Karl Malone's career on a low note and I expect that he will do the same to Nash's career.

The only PG the Lakers have had on their roster since Kobe has been there that was even capable of averaging 4 APG was Gary Payton when he came in the twilight of his career. Ramon Sessions averaged around 6 per when in his short stint in LA.

I see no less than 8 APG from Steve Nash while he is in the Purple and Gold.
Comparable to John Stockton's numbers at that age.
