Since when has Kobe not been willing to play hurt? I remember him throwing up left-handed threes after he fucked his shoulder up. And to say Kobe isn't competitive is just wrong. If anything, he's more competitve than Shaq. So maybe Kobe won't take blame as often as Iverson, but although I like Iverson more, I'd rather have Kobe on my team right now.
I agree with most of what you said, but if I had a choice I'd take Iverson.
