How does anyone know except for Kobe what he believes he is entitled to? Why wasn't Kobe's admission of adultery just a mistake? Maybe Kobe should get a part time gig as a host at a sports bar too. After all diapers aren't free.
As far as Kobe's TO's. He handles the ball an awful lot and plays a ton of minutes. He plays in the triangle which is based on reads so if one player makes a bad read there's the potential for increased turnovers. And of those that have more TO's per game, 6 are all-stars too and Kobe has a better A/TO ratio than all of them except Nash, Wade and Iverson. However, Wade and Iverson's ratios are relatively close to Kobe's and can be a wash.
And yes, the Lakers rank 16th in A/TO ratio. But one tenth is all that keeps them from moving up 8 spots so this statistic isn't as condemning as you suggest. Also, the Lakers don't really have a PG to take care of the ball like many of these other teams do. That responsibility falls heavily on Kobe and Odom who is 13th in TO's per game which skews the Lakers ratio even more.
