Easily the best FIBA shooter to ever play the game. :lol
Patty went off on the yanks. Patty should be the starting PG next year but Pop doesn't like a PG who shoots early in the clock, which is why he like Tissot who dribbles the clock out before dumping off for someone else to worry about.
Yes.Quote:

Nope. Bronze Medal vs 2 Golds is the tie breakerQuote:

Because he's best buddy with magic.Quote:

The 6 rings thing is tiresome, you have to drag in personal life to even have a conversation, and even then Duncan wins. All you can compare are team accomplishments but you avoid missed playoffs and destroyed teams. Look at the numbers, Kobe has always been a 2 or at best a 1b in all championship teams from a statistical perspective.
Stop right there. Magic sided with Shaq. There is no reason for Magic to prop up Kobe unless his greatness was undeniable, which it was.Quote:

Neal with it. Kobe raped. Jim got raped (for $27 million plus a non-disclosed amount to Amy in hush money; probably $50 million :lol). Plus Kobe don't need permission from the state of California for weekend visitation rights like Jim does in Texas. And Kobe is still married (6th rang - which is a personal accomplishment per midnightpulp :toast)Quote:

When Jim has to drag the likes of Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Chucky Atkins, Brian Cook and Luke Walton to the playoffs without Pop coaching, holla at me. Otherwise, STFU. :downspin:Quote:
