Not saying Bryant can't do it but until I see it .................

The players you mention DID NOT carry their teams.
Carter- The team actually had a better winning percentage and their longest winning streak of the season was when Carter did not play.
Iverson- Philadelphia teams are based on Defense. Any game they played was always low scoring with Mutombo being their Defensive anchor providing blocked shots and offensive rebounding. Iverson is a VERY poor shooter and its not uncommon to see 12-35 shooting nights.
McGrady- Another guy who shoots and shoots and shoots and shoots. He is not a very good shooter either so any stats he puts up always disguise how many shot he takes.
