Kobe is a great player. Magic is/was a great character. Kobe isn't someone you really want to watch other than on the court, and he's not real fan friendly. Magic was the Harlem Globetrotters come to the NBA. He was fantastic.

Kobe thread at the top of the forum.... thought your dumb ass should know.

No. Magic Johnson brought us into the light from a darkness of unimaginable depth. No other Laker did that. No other Laker even attempted it until Magic Johnson. Once that spell was broken, once that monkey was forever slain all the other Lakers that followed Magic were bred different because of the catastrophic failures and ultimate triumph of Magic Johnson over the Boston Celtics.

Kobe Bryant included. He has no idea what Magic had to go thru. None whatsoever. Magic can't tell him. Only Magic knows. And that's ok. Magic did it, did it for himself and for us, his children, Kobe included, so that Kobe, so that all the "Kobes" would never have to look back again and into that abyss.

I look though. I look too much. And I know. And I will never forget.

I'm not gonna hate too much on Magic...but that SOB does forget where he came from in his quest to crown Lebron...Now Lebron made him and everyone else eat crow by showing he wasn't on the same level as Kobe after all...He ran into D-Wade's arms...and all Magic could do was apologize...ESPN done brain washed that ...he need to get his head right again...Sometimes I think he doesn't want to see Kobe surpass him...it's human nature I understand but records were meant to fall no hard feelings...He's always in a rush to show impartiality only to come around and apologize...I don't see Celtic legends doing that with their squad...

and then Ron Ron I think called him out the best...Remember when Artest went Rambo in the stands in Detriot...Magic said that the NBA shouldn't give him a second chance and Ron Ron put Magic in his place...He said and I quote: "I bet Magic didn't feel that way when his wife gave him a second chance." I think that partially awoken Magic's spirit of common sense to stop being so ing self righteous and pandering to what white America desired...

That's it...but right now they're equals if Kobe wins this year then no question he's the greatest Laker ever...and then he'll be equals with MJ and we get to talk about it all over again....
