What has he done for the L ?
Magic and Bird saved the NBA
Jordan globalized it
So what has Kobe done for the L ?
this is well known that Phil doesn't like coaching Allstar weekend...he's just ting on Pop once again...that's what Phil does...now I want to hear the tapes of Phil telling his team to make sure he's not coaching Allstar weekend...talk about insulting the Spurs great start...![]()

So what has Kobe done for the L ?
How could a scientist end up with such a re ed daughter ?
Lefty with a streak of epic, tear-jerker of one-liners![]()
He revolutionized and modernized it...took it from under MJ's shadows and made it truly Global...Like Magic & Bird before him MJ took the league so far...Kobe snatched the mantle and been running with it ever since...the only reason MJ is more beloved than Kobe is the fact that he escaped the mass media just in time...they didn't get to see how dirty and grimy he was on and off the court...
Kids the world over want to be Kobe now-a-days not MJ... many of them weren't even born then...So Kobe is the new standard bearer and once he rangs 6....That will be the storm heard round the world...
the real question is what has Timmy done for the league...
Revolutionized and modernized it?
How ?
By being the 1st MJ copycat/wannabe?
By bull ting people on how he used to be a Magic Johnson fan? (and as we know, Kobe is the biggest ballhog ever)
By raping a woman instrad of just having sex and paying her off like MJ did?
He revolutionized and modernized it by:
- Becoming the second player in NBA history to have 4 straight 50 point games behind Wilt
- During 2006 /07 season he had a total of ten 50-plus point gamesbecoming the only player beside Wilt in 1961–62 and 1962–63 to do so in one season.
- Became the youngest player to reach 20K points against NY...
- In 2003 averaged 40.6 in the entire month of February...
- and of course scored an NBA high 81 points second highest in league history
So by becoming the most feared and deadliest scoring player the NBA has ever known Kobe revolutionized and modernized the game... By feats only rivaled by Wilt at a time when it was much easier for guys of Wilt's size to dominate by virtue of a lack of consistent compe ion.
Post MJ the league was again on it's death bed looking for the next MJ...and they found it in Kobe...just like they found the next Magic and Bird in MJ...ask today's players who the looked up to growing up and 80% say Kobe not Timmy...Kobe...get it...just look up my previous Comments on Kobe volumes 1-3...it's all there
and as for all you gots out there that keep saying Kobe wanted to be like MJ ask yourself this question...Who didn't at a time when MJ dominated inferior talent...yeah I was right along with many other kids on the play-ground listening to this catchy ..don't hate because Kobe actually had the talent to pull off what every kid in America wished....you lame come at me with something real...you lose this debate...
Greatest ballhog ever
Thanks for making my point![]()
ohh snap...is that all you got...ball hog? So was MJ a ball hog for leading the league in scoring all those years...or was Wilt a ball-hog for scoring 100...or was David Robinson a ball hog when he scored 72...
come again son...I just dismantled your whole argument...![]()
I still can't believe how lame that nickname is.
Yeah and all the league had to do was change the rules to make it easier to score, then look the other way when he quit on his team in the playoffs.
MJ had it easy by default...because he didn't have to play real compe ion...where were the CP3's, D-Will's, D-Wades, Le_Tank's, Nowitski's , Rose's, Allen, Pierece, Garnett, Shaq, Durant, Rondo's, Dwights, and begrudgingly Timmy's of the world when MJ played...
MJ had it easy...make no mistake...Kobe doing his thing way more impressive than in MJ's era...no revisionist either...
B.S. Jordan played in an era with MANY real centers in the paint to guard the rim such as Robinson, Hakeem, Ewing and many others plus competed against Stockton/Malone/Isiah/Clyde Drexler/R. Miller and many players every bit as good if not better than those you list. Moreover teams could be a lot more physical and were yet Jordan has a career shooting average almost 5% better than Kobe.
Moreover it is insane that Kobe's legend grew after he layed an egg in game 7 last year?
He shot 6 for 24 in the decisive finals game earning the lamest finals MVP ever then of course Bryant around grinning like he was sole the reason that LAL prevailed. The bottom line = Kobe Bryant has had stacked teams around him and to this date never won a championship without Shaq and/or the gift wrapped Gasol trade + Odom/Bynum to carry him? He proved he could not even carry his team to the playoffs one year.
Bryant shooting percentage in the playoffs is less than his regular season and he has also layed an egg as well in the Lakers two finals losses. Bryant is an all time great but the over the top love and revisionist dominance of Bryant over the last decade in the NBA is is sickening! For no more than 2-3 years of his entire career has he been the dominant NBA player - it was always either Shaq or Duncan for most of his career and now James is definetely better after the way James toyed with the Lakers on Christmas.
Read the following and learn the truth about the Bryant who has been more like a lamphrey than a black mamba for being on stacked teams to win his championships.

You've got to be trolling
you lie you lil devil you........sounds like you dealing with a compromised sphincter...
1996 NBA Finals MJ - Final game 5/19 - 26% overall...
of the players I listed can you also name the equivalent defensive players from MJ's era that was given the MJ assignment that rival the players in Kobe's era given the Kobe assignment..here's a few from Kobe's era...these guys stayed employed just for the Kobe assignment:
Reuben Patterson (the self proclaimed Kobe stopper)
Doug Christie
Thabo Shefalosa
Bruce Bowen
Tony Allen
Shane Battier
Ron Artest
Scottie Pippen
Reggie Miller
Face it guy MJ never had the pressure on both ends of the court that Kobe's had to face...not even close....who you gonna name - John Starks, Joe Dumars, Dan Marjele, and Mugsey Bouges...
SI can spin opinions all day about what kind of force Timmy was but what they can't spin is:
Kobe 5 (7 finals appearances and 5 les)
Duncan 4
get back at me when you ready for a new hand of cards...
I can only dream I was the lucky bas to be sharing bubble baths with Kori Ellis' every night...![]()
that is the critique I don't get. of course he is not as good as MJ an imitation is STILL not the real thing. However, Kobe has come closest has surpassed him in some areas (most prolific) ..and has fallen short in MANY others (efficiency) and media popularity ...
But copying MJ was smart. He even picked up the infidelity and the taste for white women too. He ...jumped back to nike (he ahould of NEVER chose ADIDAS). Thing is, as much hate as Kobe has from fans, media domestically, Kool is right he may be bigger internationally. Because the game is more international thanks to Dirk, Yao, Parker, manu etc. He is more loved and more hated, kind of like the captain of the football team in HS ... but few fans are ambivalent many respect his game hate his persona. Others hate both. Many just appreciate his talent, but Kobe makes you pay attention.
Hey Venti no hard feelings but I'm gonna have to deny your friend request...tbh you seem like a Spur poser...I know I've called you got at least 100 times and so now I find your friend request to be suspect tbh...maybe someone hacked your account I don't know but your request feels like some kind of setup to troll me....
Keep doing your thing and proving your laker loyalties in public and if you legit perhaps the Laker faithful will rally to your cause..if it's legit...otherwise I'm gonna have to make a public plea for Laker faithful to let me know what the deal is with you...cuz something don't smell right here...
LOL Venti is hard to read ...I must say. I think he is legit but his heart may pump some of that project kool-aid. this quest for th 3peat will not be easy he will have plenty of chances to prove his worth ... BTW Kool, sent you a reply ...
If Nicole Ritchie is your definition of "fresh", I'd hate to see your definition of "used".
