Bryant does compare to Jordan, and if he rings Thursday night he'll be right behind MJ on the same stage.
Actually downgrading Jordan and making a case that Kobe compares to him like Jamstone habitually does is idiocy, not smartness. But what do you know? You troll at a pre-school level.

I think that, in this rare, unbelievable case, yes, Doc Rivers, of all people, is actually out coaching Phil Jackson...
Where Doc is using his bench without reservation, calling timely time outs occasionally preventing big runs, while Phil is coaching like a regular season game... It is astounding...
Bryant isn't even the greatest Laker ever, so he'll never be at par with MJ
If Bryant rings Thursday innin', he passes Magic and squeezes in belly button to ass crack with MJ.
in 5 games yep
Never claimed otherwise.
Ain't going to happen unless you es yet again, rail to try to make it so. It's like self-proclamation. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so. Shaq saying he was MDE has been proven that he wasn't, even if he said so.
You have to do it, every time and again. In Bean's case, what Jordan has accomplished, cannot be done by Bean.
Jordan went undefeated.
Jordan went 6 wins, no defeats in Finals History. Kobe's already lost 2 times and both times, he was to blame. Add that the 2nd loss includes the WORST FINALS LOSS IN HISTORY. And there you have it....placement behind MJ23 & MJ32(Since Magic beat the Celtics, twice., just like that.
You may now continue with your regularly scheduled drive.
WOW.... *pulling myself off the floor*
Just wow!
Kobe is averaging 30 points with 55.5% TSP which is higher than both the Lakers and Celtics true shooting percentage in the whole series. I mean there's really not a lot of room to hate on him besides his massive turnover rate. He's also doing this against Boston's defense. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat. I still think Gasol's value is more than that of Kobe though, and its showing in this series. When Gasol has a great game, the rest of the Lakers offense flows much better. You really cant say the same for Kobe's game TBH. Kobe's a tremendous, skilled shot maker, the best in his generation but the overall impact is not impressive because when he's playing at that level, you know the rest of his teammates are running dry.
I think there are two ways of looking at Gasol's importance that kind of splits the divide.
Some argue that Gasol is more important to the Lakers success. That statement alone is more credible than the other one I think people try to claim, which is Gasol is the MVP of the Lakers.
The first comment is much more credible because when Gasol plays well, the Lakers are a much stronger team. The second comment about Gasol being the MVP of the Lakers is horse because Gasol will often put up vagina-like performances. His inconsistency and his lack of will to challenge the Boston front court is a major reason the Lakers are down in the series. You know what you're going to get from Kobe. You know he's not going to cower. You know he's not going to fold. He may lose. He may miss shots. But he's not going to turn into a pussy like Gasol sometimes will. That's why there's no way in Gasol is the MVP of the Lakers. More important for Laker success? Sure. MVP of the Lakers? No way in .
Professor Jamstone, getting his Tuesday morning lecture on.
amen Jamstone. Couldnt of said it better myself. I knew my vote for you on Allspurs was a good one ...LOL JK.
Point is when people make those idiotic statements they just prove how little they know about ball.
You could use Jamstone points with many other players.
Would i rather have manu's explosive but increasingly rare 25 5 5 games or Tim's career steady 20, 10, 4 and 2 games?
I bet when Manu score 25 the Spurs record is amazing but Tim's consistency is more important to the team and the franchise.
stupid question---rivers is the better coach.
Give rivers--the lakers talent, biased reffing and collusion (ok--extreme collusion...) and he wins 3-5 les in a row...
PJ, on the other hand, needs a bunch of other to happen (Yao's injury,jameer's injury, manu's inj,etc.)..and he is on the verge of losing 2 out of three finals series in 3 years
^Spoken like a true San Antonio Celtic's fan.
ummm..how many times are you gonna use that line?
gettin a little scared about tonight, are we?
Until somebody asks for mercy.ummm..how many times are you gonna use that line?
gettin a little scared about tonight, are we?

A course. I ain't ashamed of being scared.
Historically speaking;
There was a nice Irish cons uency defending the Alamo so perhaps there is something to the "San Antonio Celtic" claim.
Just sayin....
I don't understand why people try to compare Kobe's 4 (perhaps 5 or even 6 eventually) to MJ's 6. Not in the same ballpark for simple reasons:
1) MJ was the CLEAR alpha dog on all his championships.
2) Once he broke through, the only seasons he failed in the playoffs were due to his playing BASEBALL INSTEAD.
3) two 3-peats.
Kobe?
1) one three-peat. If he gets another three-peat, then start talking.
2) Was alpha on 1, MAYBE 2 of those wins so far. Shaq was at least as important in 3.
Kobe is all-time great player, but not in the top 10 and not the main cause of the majority of his championships like MJ was.
Regardless, if Kobe wins Thursday night, he'll immediately rise to MJ level and move in directly behind MJ.
MJ : 6x NBA champ, 5x NBA MVP, 14x All star, 1 NBA DPOY, 6x NBA finals MVP
Nonetheless, if he rings Thursday, he's a millimeter behind MJ.
MJ : 6x NBA champ, 5x NBA MVP, 14x All star, 1 NBA DPOY,
thanx for a very good laugh...u made my day....
