Kobe, Kidd is a 50/50 prop on layups..Cassell, Francis, & Parker, are just as good as Kidd.
Kobe could do what all of those guys do, but as a better wing/slasher/dribble-penetrator is better off waiting for pass off the set plays.. also LA needs the worn-out Glove to earn his keep someway, thus dribble it past midcourt before disappearing.
