Well that's because the Laker's PGs are a**. Anyway that's a discussion for a different thread

In the NBA the definition of PG is very lose.
As a fact, Kobe is the one who's in charge on the offensive-flow.
For that, 5.6 AST is not much.

Kobe 23 shot attempts per game, only player in NBA with over 20+
he had 4.6 assists, not 5.6
and players who shoot a lot, such as James, 6.2 assists, Westbrook, 5.5 assists, Durant 3.5 assists, Carmello 3.6 assists

By comparison, I don't see Bryant as being as horrible as you say.
*edit* In fact, Carmello, whom is a notorious ballhog, and not a passer, had more assists than Durant. So I would call Durant into question for this.

Kobe is a great player but he is egoistic one.
Durant cannot be compared to Kove, beacause he touches the ball for much less time. Same about Mello.
Westbrook is a player much similar to Kobe in that sense, and he is also one that does not share the ball much.
Hence, it is not surprising that his stats are similar to Kobe's.
Hope that now you will not compare Kobe with Chandler or Howard which are Ceners that not really touch the ball that often, and in general their role is not to make a play for their teamate in comparison to a PG/SG which Kobe is.

Saying that Kobe shots 23 shots per game, and at least 3 shots more than the other players in the league, proves exactly what I am saying.
He touches the ball more than any. And the outcome of it is that he will shoot more than others compared to passing the ball.

No, he's not in charge. To be at that elite level, you have to be a team player (which sometimes means taking it yourself). You can argue all you like, but until you realise that, to get to that level it takes that attitude, you won't understand.

Even if will take it as you wrote and say that he MUST throw that much, it doesn't explain the fact compared to players "of the elite level" who touches the ball the same has much more assist than he does.

For example Lebron has about 15% more assist, and he plays with Wade who share the ball with him.
Nash is an elite player, and of course he has much more a

Diwght Howard touches the Ball more then J.J. Reddick, but have much less 3 point attempts. What i try to say, maybe Nash is the better passer then Kobe with a better feeling for his teammates, while Kobe can read his defender better and have more tools to beat then. So considering there skills, the optional move of those player for the team is different.

And sicne ego meanss that he play weaker, and Kobe is your example for it i don't think he plays with less effort against then as long the game is not decided. And when he plays with weak teammates, against a strong team(which is weaken then his) he also take his serious like nearly all pros. Yes he would take more shot, but that is already included in the GE.

Edit: probadly we should get back to the suggestion, and not about Kobe or other players.

Perfect example of Kobe passing

How about creating a thread where we can discuss who is the PG in Lakers. If not staying on topic seems the right thing to do.
