He's like 5th in minutes played this year. in his 17th year, lets not mention he's played 2 more NBA seasons when you include play offs. over something like 40,000 minutes.

Kobe's always played a ton of minutes, even when he shouldn't. Most of that is on Kobe.
If you want to fault D'Antoni I guess you could fault him for not throttling back on Kobe, but given that he was coaching for his job he was obviously not the guy to trust to make a sound decision, because his own ass is above the best interests of the franchise.
