Kobe Bryant helped lead the Lakers past the Knicks on Monday night with 61 points, but coach Phil Jackson doesn't want his star taking over every game.

Even with Andrew Bynum out, Jackson doesn't want Kobe shutting out his teammates for the remainder of the season.

"We don't want him to because we have so many other players that can contribute," Jackson said. "Obviously with Andrew [Bynum] out, we're missing a piece of scoring there that's been effective for us. At the end of the game [against New York], Pau [Gasol] was feeding Kobe and finding him in certain situations where he probably could have persisted in the post himself.

"I talked to [Bryant] after the game and said, 'Why don't you let me know when you're going to go off like that before a ballgame so we can measure it out accordingly?' But when he started out that hot, everybody fed into it and it just kept accumulating."
