Kobe fans/haters read...

Stated in ESPN the Magazine:
KOBE HAS A PROBLEM
He shoots? Lakers lose. He passes? Lakers lose. Remember how people said he was the next Jordan? Try next Pippen.
O so true...

So does S. Walker.
Anybody that was on the team with Shaq got them.
I guess you think Barkley wasn't good too. Are are you old enough to know who Barkley is?

<< <i>Yes I know who barkley is. I also nw whoDi sand Dirk isn't good enough to shine brly's shoes. Kobe has done better then anyone in the league could without a big man on the team. >>
not true, McGrady has done better with no big man...
I'll give you a hint.
Swept.
8Kobe said :
<< MY two cents. Michael had a Scottie and a half way decent center. Kobe has no backup and no center. If this team was made for kobe an not Shaq you would be seein' alot more wins. >>
<< <<how so??? They are playing w/out a real center. I am not talking a great one. Just one that can play. They have no threats beside kobe >> >>
This a typical response from a typical Kobe fan. 8Kobe if you are younger then 25 then you really have no rights talking anything about Jordan. If you're younger then 25 you didn't watch Jordan his whole career.
What half decent center are you talking about?? Bill Cartwright?? Horace Grant?? Brian Williams?? Luc Longley?? Could you even name these 4 centers from their championship runs?? Doubt it. These centers were all made by Jordan. Without Jordan all of these centers faded out of the league.
The fact is Jordan MADE people around him play better. The feat is usually only accomplished by a stud point guard or dominant center. Kobe does not do this for his teamates. Shaq does for the whole Lakers squad, especially Kobe. The whole team has better stats with Shaq in the game.
We all know Kobe is far from being the next Michael Jordan. A player like TMac or Vince Carter whom both have no surrounding cast are closer to being the next Jordan then Kobe is. Kobe has Shaq, as long as he plays with Shaq he will never be considered someone to complare to Michael Jordan.
I never said Vince Carter was as good as Kobe offensively. I was making the point, that you completely overlooked, that Vince Carder is a more suitable canidate to call the next Michael Jordan then Kobe is. The reasoning for that is because Carter has no cast and Kobe has Shaq. Carter is the centerpiece of his team, just like Jordan was. Kobe is definetely not the centerpiece on the Lakers.
Your other points are very valid rooks.
I'll say this though. When Pippen was out the Bulls still won. Jordan always carried the Bulls no matter who was out.
Kobe has been clutch in big games in his career but in no way does he carry the Lakers like Jordan carried the Bulls.
<< <i>kobe has come through in the clutch with shaq out in the playoffs. Game 4 vs. pacers when shaq fouled out, who took over the game? Who had the game winning shot against the nets in game 3 last year? Shq was also hobbled last year and kobe had to pick up the scoring in many of the playoff games where shaq would only have around 20 points. Say what you want about kobe but he comes through in the playoffs every time. Dirk almost got swept last year by the kings and he has michael finley, steve nash, raef lafrenz, van exel, etc. >>
Kobe would not have been in the playoffs without Shaq.
Who is Dallas' dominant Center? Come on, lmk.
I'll bet Nowitzki, Nash, or Finley would have huge numbers if they shot the ball 30+ times a game. I'll also bet it would be more than 30 pts a game.
Kobe is sporting around a very nice record while Shaq is out. If you take any top 15 player in the NBA and put them on the same team as Shaq, they would sport a ring also.

Well that leads to the question of, If Kobe were able to carry the Lakers in a clutch when they really needed him would'nt the Lakers be winning right now?
Also Rooks, you obsess about Kobe but have a Bills icon...... do we have another fairweather fan who just roots for the good teams??? I think we do.....

Jerik, I grew up in l.a. genius. There is something called a profile and it shows where a person lives, if you managed to figure that out you would see that I live in saugus which is 30 miles north of la so I root for usc, the dodgers, the lakers and the bills. I figured someone who has been on this board for since sept. 2001 would have figured that out by now but I guess it was too much for you, no big deal. Is there a football team in la? I guess according to an idiot like you I cant root for anyone because there is no pro football team. Think before you post for once. Oh, and I just root for good teams? So you are saying the bills are a good team, just another sign of your high intelligence. Its just such a shame we cant all be as intelligent as you claim you are. You obsess with kobe more than I do. I only point out some facts when people like you throw out dumb statements like kobe sucks and then throw a little fit when I challenge them on it.
Well that leads to the question of, If Kobe were able to carry the Lakers in a clutch when they really needed him would'nt the Lakers be winning right now? The lakers have only played 9 games, this is an 82 game season. Youre saying 27 points, 7 assists and 10 reboubnds a game isnt clutch?
I watched MJ win many championships. I am old enough to know how good he is. I also had tapes at one time of every championship he won. He had good players on his team. Heck Dennis Rodman would be a better center then anyone of the Lakers team.
I would like to thank Rooks who knows about basketball.
He said this well "Nowitzki has a feaking all star team playing besides him and he still choked last year."
Kobe would have won the Championship with that team.
For anyone who thinks I don't knwo basketball. I would like to tell you that I grew up in Indiana. Basketball is the sport here. I grew up watching Basketball. My dad was a big fan of basketball. My Grandpa went to ABA games. Basketball around here is like cows to the Swiss. We live basketball.

some recent quotes from the great one in the OC Register Paper
"His numbers don't lie " , Jordan said of Bryant. " And when you win championships, it's not just Shaq. When you look at that team, you can eliminate a big man in todays game just by doubling and tripling him. But you need that guy who can go down, get a rebound and get his own basket and create his own shot " .
" There is no way you can eliminate what his value is to that team. Im pretty sure you can say the same about Shaq, because of his dominating presence in the middle " .
" The two make a pair, and you can't mention one without the other ".
nice to see someone who probally knows more about the game then all of us put together give the man some credit
You say Bradley. LMAO I guess you think two of the dominant centers are Bradley and Shaq? Which one is better? Better yet, don't answer.
So somebody said that they grew up in Indiana. So feakin what. Who cares. I guess that because your dad is an alcoholic you are too? The best thing that ever happened to indiana basketball now resides at TEXAS TECH.

Not about Nowitzki. It is about Kobe. As I recall, Pippen bellied up without Jordan. The same way Kobe is.

Also, yes the Bills aren't bad this year, and even if they weren't you probably started liking them about 7 years ago when they went to 4 Super Bowls.....
Also, you say you back up your words with facts, but you conveniently dodged the facts that i gave you regarding your idiotic statement of Pippen being the best player in the NBA when MJ retired, rather .....
BTW...... my uncle lived in NY for like 2 weeks, so i am a huge Yankee fan. Also, my mom visited North Carolina once, so i love Duke and North Carolina college basketball. Also, i once went on a church trip to Miami, Fl, so i am a huge Miami football fan...... you get my point smartie??? It's eay to make up a bunch of BS so that you can conveniently root for good teams
