NBA: It's Kobe 5 > TOSB 4 When Tim Gets To 6 Then We Can Talk About Kobe 5 and TOSB 5

[Koolaid_Man]

listen I respect Tim to a degree...however there are some serious caveats....I cannot fully cheer for a guy who quit on his country...we joke about Kobe quitting on his team during the Phoenix series but how bout a guy that actually quit on his country for real....then we have the half a season ring from 99....I can't respect that either....then we have the ring from last season when he basically coat-tailed a rookie to a le...then hiring a spy agent to follow his wife...then giving back a le...then likely paying her more than the pre-nup and having a gag order so that she wouldn't tell all...

that's why I say to a degree....in my view with the 99 ring it's still clearly

Kobe 5
TOSB 4

if Duncan wins 6 then it will be

Kobe 5
TOSB 5

straw grasping due to fear of 6 > 5

Sad sight

[Koolaid_Man]

not at all....With Kobe back healthy yall can forget about another WCF appearance....and even more so if OKC doesn't run into bad luck 3 yrs in a row....yall are historically 1 and done...I don't see that changing...

The possibility of 6 > 5 is already giving lakers' fans night terrors and .

if 1999 gets an * then 2002 should get three ***.......

still in the denial stages. Its almost a new season. You should be past this.

There's nothing to talk about regardless...no amount of rings will put Kobe in the same level as Duncan.
