This is such an extreme statement that doesn't even deserve commentary. The Lakers have a better team now than the old bulls, and Kobe still couldn't get it done in the finals against the Celtics (thats also forgetting about a team that once had Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Shaq, and Kobe that couldn't beat a Detroit team that have'nt gotten to back to the finals in 6 seasons or so). <BR/><BR/>--Ron N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-85532183790221320272009-01-18T17:15:00.000-08:002009-01-18T17:15:00.000-08:00Biggest problem with the Kobe posts is that you ju...Biggest problem with the Kobe posts is that you judge Michael Jordan solely as a basketball player, but you judge Kobe primarily as a person. Kobe is not the anti-Jordan. Jordan had serious issues with gambling (the conspiracy theorists even claim he initially retired because Stern forced him to due to the gambling issues) and I won't even get into his pussy hounding with the Chucks ( Barkley and Oakley). It's likely that if Jordan had played in the era of citizen journalism we wouldn't look at him as favorably as we do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-8762059143686916562009-01-17T16:17:00.000-08:002009-01-17T16:17:00.000-08:00Don't forget the rules have become much stricter i...Don't forget the rules have become much stricter in the last 15 years. <BR/><BR/>If people guarded Kobe the way they guarded Jordan, they'd get called for a flagrant every other possession. <BR/><BR/>Sure, Kobe's insanely talented. But what's so upsetting about him is he's utilized his talent in all of the wrong ways. In a way, he's the anti-Jordan in that regard.Entropy4https://www.blogger.com/profile/00346052945049160152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36873781.post-36521853283334244322009-01-17T13:24:00.000-08:002009-01-17T13:24:00.000-08:00I'm a Kobe fan, and while saying any basketball pl...I'm a Kobe fan, and while saying any basketball player is as good as MJ is heretic, you do slam on the guy way too much. Can we stop talking about Kobe. It serves no purpose, and your obvious bias makes it hard to take the criticism seriously. <BR/><BR/>I don't know Kobe, but I see what he does on the court, and I appreciate it. I would bet he's more passionate about basketball than anyone else in the league, and I admire him for that. While he's no Warrick Dunn (good solid guy who gives back to others), he's also not Pacman Jones (no need to explain that one). Chances are he's somewhere in the middle. <BR/><BR/>I think earlier in his career he went out of his way to control his image (much like ARod does, but almost everyone knows that he used to be a swinger and cheated on his wife constantly). The Colorado incident kind of ruined that. But he's done a good job rehabilitating himself. I wish him the best both personally and on the court. He's a good player who cares about the game he plays, and that's all that matters in my mind; I'm not looking for him to be a role ModelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
