Lots of shots doesn't always equal selfish play.
That stat shows how good the Lakers are this year that they don't need him to put up that many shots every night and he is obviously aware of that and hasn't forced things. It's almost always better when you spread the scoring around that doesn't mean there aren't going to be nights when one guy gets it going or the best player needs to take up more of the work load. You have to take what the defense gives you.
Jordan is still the best by the way. Kobe has a shot at it but would have to win a championship 3 out of the next 4 years to have any kind of serious discussion about it.
