Colorado, 2003
Is being every bit as good as MJ ever was, without understanding what made him great.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been compared to him so many times. I wish they’d stop, He was Michael Jordan and I am Kobe Bryant. We were different players. I wish people would let it go. It annoys me. He’s one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest, and for us in the younger generation — me and LeBron — to be compared to such greatness isn’t fair. It’s important for us to play the game we know how to play and let people sit back and enjoy what we do, and not compare it to what they have done.”

Yup, 1 finals MVP and 1 MVP is equivalent to 5 MVPs and 6 finals MVPs.
MVP's don't count...as they've proven to be nothing more than the Media's Valuable Player awards...if the players and coaches actually handed it out then I might agree with you...Even Larry Bird went on record as saying that Kobe (at least at the time) not having one or multiple MVP awards was a joke.
Fat lazy ass media and sports writers judging a player based on their personal preferences is called hate...when you ask the Players and Coaches who's the MVP and Kobe hands down wins in a landslide...and in case you didn't know it...Kobe's been the real league MVP for at least the past 6-7 yrs...
But Kobe's legacy is in the les because no matter how the media tries to prop up their "MVP" award Kobe's legacy will be tied to NBA Championships and he's even said it's the reason he plays..now mark my words: "As long as Kobe ends up one uping MJ for 7 les I could care less about all the other stats."
boring topic
you aren't convincing anyone that kobe is even close to mj
moving on
yep...it was a sad day in NBA households outside of L.A when Kobe won without Snaq...the street thugs against Kobe...all the east coast ESPN suckers....all the punks infactuated over Shaq's girth...
now the fact that he's poised to make another 3 peat or possibly 4 in a row is sickening to the hatas...but with my next post I will personally speak on Kobe's behalf...if he could debate with these jealous hearted fans it is exactly what he would say...look out for it...
Gasol makes that possible, without Gasol, they are first round fodder
Jordan is nothing without Pippen
Pippen is nothing without Jordan
Pippen reached the WCF after the Bulls while Jordan just tried to bring back the Wizards to respectability. Where was Jordan before Pippen? Bowing out of the first round.
Suck it.
Where was Kobe after Shaq and before Gasol?
First-round playoff team with a team comprising of D-Leaguers
don't feed the laker trolls, dude
let them butt each other
speaking of butt ing....any Houston Rockets fan shouldn't have a ing opinion with all the wacked out happening in that Rocket locker room...
Yeah Lamar Odom is a D-leaguer.
He's scrubbin it up this year. Wasn't the knock on Kobe when he was compared to Wade that Wade shot a better percentage?
This Year:
Wade: 43.3%
Kobe: 48.6%
Interesting
You were saying?

What are the career FG%'s of those two.
@ Laker fans who are bragging about Kobe's FG% now that for the first time in his career he's actually shooting a good %.
So your stupid ass thinks he was an MVP during the 2004-2005 season, or were you a Suns fan back then?
It wasn't Gasol's addition, it was the subtraction of a major piece from every damn contender. KG, Nelson, Ginobili. If the Spurs had won last season there would be calls for another asterisk and the media would have dismissed the whole championship.
