unfortunately, there is more to team play than being in shape
and playing within yourself.  Walker is a designated scorer;
he is doing his job on the team by taking a lot of shots.  They 
should go in instead of being blocked, but that is another issue.
Kenny is supposed to be running the team.  Instead, all he does
is pound the ball waiting for a jumpshooter to come of a screen,
or look for daylight so that he can turn on the jets and get a layup.
He plays within himself all too well -- he only turns it on when he
sees an opportunity for himself.  He is a great talent, which is more
infuriating still.  He should be getting guys layups right and left,
dropping
ten assists a night, and energizing the team.  Instead, he's a soul-killing
Kevorkian in sneakers.
