First, it was Magic Johnson on SiriusXM NBA radio last week, saying the team went out and got a lot of playmakers this offseason to go around LeBron James so everything didn't have to run through him. Then on Monday night at a Lakers' All-Access event, Kobe Bryant — a player more than happy to take over games when he felt it was the best way to win, which was a lot — offered a similar criticism, although more nuanced. "At the beginning of the season, you saw a collection of individual talent trying to figure out what they can do and where they can do it on the floor," Bryant said.
