So Kobe has rang as "The Man", or has he?

Dude, wtf. I'm praising Kobe, and you snap too?!?

Kobe isn't a good Pippen, though. Pippen was a complementary player that filled in the gaps Jordan created. Kobe was a 2nd option player that took pressure off Shaq because he required either a defensive expert or a double team.

Pippen knew his role, Kobe just played how he wanted to play. Kobe wasn't the glue that kept LAL together like Pippen was for the Bulls, but quite the opposite.

I seem to remember Kobe having one of the greatest series ever against your spurs in 01, when the lakers sweep the Spurs in the western conf. finals.

Kobe is a punk foo patnah. No humility at all. He old and his teammates olda. They ain't even makin' the playoffs tbh. In a year, he'll be done and so will the Lakeshow. Peace out, rookie.
