Kobe really did own the Spurs

You know he won't list anything he can't beat.
Therefore no Nash led Suns, who led the face off two to one.

He played really well against us for some reason. Spurs basketball per par, making players look better than they are.

I enjoyed beating the Kings better than them all. There was some serious hatred going on in that run.

Care to elaborate since I never understood the intense hatred Laker fans had for the Kings during that rivalry considering it was very 1 sided.

As you'll notice... I didn't call it a rivalry. They were from Cali and all California Laker haters jumped on the Kings band wagon... they're Clippa fans now. So it was a battle over the state as well. The Spurs was a rivalry, but Spur players tried to keep it civil, which knocked some of the heat off of would could have been epic. Boston was and always will be epic because we just don't like each other. I didn't care for that Laker team at all... too many pussies, and hands down the weakest of all the title teams. Beating Boston due to the revenge factor was great but it didn't feel like the rivalry of past. The fans were ready, but that Laker team was soft.

They were the team's hump during the 3-peat and almost knocked them out twice. The crowd in Sacramento hated the Lakers and the Laker fans, they believed the Lakers stole two titles from them instead of it being a matter of the better team winning. It was a one-way hatred at first, the King fans did a lot of pretty desperate things to get under the skin of Laker players and fans like having a ritual of burning Laker jerseys before game.

Laker fans returned the hatred, eventually, and the two fanbases began to hate each other even more. As a result, the teams hated each other and Sac media hated LA media... it wasn't a rivalry, they just hated each other. Looking at it objectively, the Lakers were the better team each year and the King fans hated that.

Kobe didn't beat the Spurs. It was more Phil Jackson owning Pop really.

You mean phil's willingness to complain about officiating during a press conference changing entire series, whereas Pop refused such pussy tactics.

But Pop doesn't mind the pussy tactic of hacking the fuck out of Jordan to the tune of losing in the 1st round. Nigga hacked up 13 in the 2nd quarter and lost the entire lead. Damn near did it again a few nights ago. One thing Phil did that Pop doesn't seem capable of doing: allowing the team to figure it out without trying to Bobby Fischer the game all to hell. Pop doesn't think he's ever had the talent level to allow them that room. Maybe he's right, his record speaks for itself, and Phil had the lion's share of talent for his tenure in the NBA so he was allowed to do that and still win. That said, Pop gets in his own way at times, and his "wisdom and foresight" becomes more paranoia and tinkering.

Pop reminds me of Bob Ross on those old shows where you'd think "that picture looks bad ass" then Bob would paint a big fucking tree right in the middle of a mountain scene and totally fuck it up because he just didn't know when to stop fucking with it.

That hack a whoever crap is annoying as hell. I can see it in the closing minutes (1-2) of the game if it's close but starting it in the 2nd quarter? Eff that.

I can see it if you're getting the shit stomped out of you. Up 13 you're doing something right and momentum, as much as coaches like to pretend it doesn't exist, is very real. Hacking kills all of that. Doing it on the road is different also. Pop does it at home, for Christ's sake. If you cannot win at home you don't need to be in the playoffs.

Jordan never mentions the Pistons & doesn't acknowledge Clyde either. He's trying to be like Mike

Kobe once said his favorite venue was the Alamodome.. Loved playing in front of the largest crowed in the league at 35K for Lakers - Spurs.

It's better than Billcheat breaking the rules to win by all means necessary. Pop is playing within the rules.

Horseshit. He talked Jackson & Diaw into quitting on their teams so they could come and not quit on his. Pop is just as dishonest as the next asshole in the line.
