I doubt that players have the time or enjoy to watch many other games when they don't play, coaches are also biased because they always go with the proven player and don't want to anger anyone. I think some coaches would still rather have Jason Kidd instead of Chris Paul.

Wrong I'm hating on Hollinger because of Kobe at all. I think he's an idiot for the way he uses stats, not because stats aren't important. Hollinger puts to much emphasis on stats as if the game was black and white. Also he has no formula that is any good that accounts for the other half of the game called defense. And he admits this openly. However you shouldn't subscribe to preconceived notions regarding me or any other poster, why they agree or disagree with anything. It shows a lack of debating skills on your part and smugness to boot.
You may doubt the players have time to watch many other games, but thats an assumption. Again I don't know that, and neither do you. Also it seems you are calling LBJ a liar as well, since he made a public statement that he's watched Kobe all year. Seems kind of arrogant of you , don't you think ?
