I didn't say that Stackhouse wouldn't have played here. But with Kobe's selfishness and much lesser degree of buyin, I highly doubt that we would have the same level of buyin by players like Stack that we currently do. That's no knock on Stack, but even highly professional people don't perform as well under much poorer leadership. Kobe is a walking, talking, volume shooting soap opera. Those distractions can't be totally discounted just because of professionalism of other players.
