Kobe traveled in that last play.

[ChrisRichards]

Wow, I cant believe the refs didnt call that. These refs are horrible when it comes to making decisions on the court. NO wonder Tim Donaughy says Kobe gets the special treatment.


That was a walk man.

[21_Blessings]

Kobe is better than Wade. Just accept it dude.

[ChrisRichards]

Kobe is better than Wade. Just accept it dude.
Kobe has as much rings as Wade does being the first banana (and Wade has a better NBA Finals stats). They're still about even in my book. :toast


You put Wade with Bynum, Gasol, Artest,Odom and Phil Jackson and I guarantee LA would win 70+ games instead of 65.


Why? because Wade likes to pass the ball and find open teammates.

[ChrisRichards]

The Whistler 18 free throws
Kobe 8 free throws.
ok, that's funny :lol

[JamStone]

He didn't travel.

But if it helps you sleep at night, just keep believing that.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Hey ChrisRichards where's your buddy, did his wife reheat pizza or something?

[ChrisRichards]

He didn't travel.

But if it helps you sleep at night, just keep believing that.
Come on, you really dont believe that. Watch the replay and see how many times he walked before getting that shot off.

[ChrisRichards]

Hey ChrisRichards where's your buddy, did his wife reheat pizza or something?
What is this?

[JamStone]

I've watched the replay several times.

Not a walk.

Wrong. If Wade and Bryant switched places, LA would win 80 games minimum. Wade makes passes to teammates that never even occur to Bryant.

Because Bryant made a lucky bank shot at the buzzer, what went unnoticed was that he also missed every other shot he took in the last two minutes of the game, while other guys (Bynum and Fisher) made their shots to keep LA in it.

I think it's a joke to say that Bryant won last year's title "by himself." You could put Wade, Carmelo, Pierce, Vince, Durant, etc. in Bryant's place and any of those guys take the title. All Bryant really does is score. With three talented bigs on that team, anybody should have 6 assists a game. Yet Bryant doesn't even average that.

Exactly.

[Allanon]

It's funny how Pau "Gasoft", "Odumb" and "Over-rated" Bynum all of a sudden become great players when it's time to discredit Kobe. :lol

[cobbler]

Maybe if the whistler practiced his free throw shooting a tad more than those passes you speak of... or actually passed it to someone in the last minute that could make theirs...

just saying...

hahah i stopped reading after i saw 80 wins Minimum. :lol:lmao

[YoMamaIsCallin]

WTF are you talking about? There was not anything even close to a travel. I certainly didn't notice anything when I saw it on TV. I just went back and watched the slo mo replay on nba.com and seriously, dude, you are badly mistaken. It was completely legit in any league.

Tell me, exactly where do you think he traveled? We'll break it down for you and show you where you're wrong.

kobe don't walk, the mamba slithers

[Gouken]

Shut that shit up! lol There was no travel on that play.

Kobe actually lead the team in assists with 399 last year averaging 5apg. So get the fuck outta here with that misconception that he doesn't pass. This year Kobe has the 2nd most assists on the team with 71. Artest leads with 80.

Wade and LeBron assist numbers are going to be higher because their respective teams are dependant on the offense running through them.

How about the one before haltime? Kobme tried to really showboat and D up on DWade. Instead he got screened out as DWade went around the screen and drove to the hoop and dunked. Kobme whined per usual wanting a call against the Heat for the perfectly legal screen. Desperately wanting the spotlight DWade had just taken, Kobme right before half drives, gets defended well, so he jumps in the air, both feet completely off the ground. No where to run, no where to hide, he lands on both feet then jumps back and hits the banker. Laker Krishnas bow down, applaud and light up their incense.

Leaving the ground and landing on both feet (a bunnyhop) is a travel and is something Stern claimed he was going to clean up a few years ago. What a joke.

^^ To the contrary, I'm happy you are one of my biggest customers.

You must have missed this on my other thread:

Also, i sell products to Laker supporters and Kobe Butt Worshippers such as the Laker posters on this board. So any Laker win, especially like this games ending always quadruples my sales. So while yes i thought Wade outplayed Kobme, a Laker win like this is great for continued marketing.

[Fpoonsie]

Nah. Upon first glance I thought he had, but it looked like he bobbled the ball, so if he shuffled his feet, it was while he didn't really have possession yet.

[picc84]

The Whistler haha

That and Kobme made for some good laughs today

[Killakobe81]

80 wins LOL ...some people just talk just 2 talk ...
I know you dont like Kobe but wade HAD to pass he couldnt make much besides dunks in the pick n roll his shot to give them the 4 point lead was the lucky one ....
But I dont hate even though he took and missed more shots he kept Miami in the game late and Almoct had a win ...Almost but dfish and Kobe took it away LOL

[HarlemHeat37]

Wade missed the FT that led to Kobe's amazing shot..yes, it was probably lucky, but Kobe's done it enough times to warrant all the credit..

Wade choked, Kobe came through..that's why he's Kobe Bryant..

He didn't travel..

James has some Barkley in him. It's never all out there, on the court. Some is left inside where he can nurture it, lean on it and the next morning get thru the shave because of it.

Thats exactly why his attitude is so great for the team, he refuses to be denied and imposes his will even when the other team [teenaged girl] is fighting back.

I didn't see the play you are talking about so I can't comment. But if it's the way you described it, it is not necessarily a travel at all -- at any level. It's called a jump stop and is legal. It is perfectly OK for both feet to leave the ground after you pick up the dribble.

A quick google search finds this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4Z4bH9Qb0g

That's a pretty good demonstration. He doesn't actually have to shoot right away after the jump stop. He can fake a shot then shoot, or he can pass. He can even establish a pivot foot, then pivot.
