Someone post Kobe's stats for the Finals

No you're talking about being a global icon, because if we were talking about high level basketball, the Knicks certainly wouldn't have been in the discussion, much less the top of the list...




You're bragging about media hype, marketing, having millions of ignorant bandwagon fans as a result... all the that negatively effects the game itself when it comes right down to it, typical Laker fan .

don't get pussy wet because no one gives a about San Antonio...it's a ing lame ass town with a ing bayou running through it as it's selling point...Like I said Kobe as a player is worth more than your whole dam team and is more recognized globally than the name San Antonio...

You're just jumpin all over the place huh?

"Kobe's a global icon! Scoreboard!"
Ok, but we're talking about playing basketball
"But, but, I was talking about playing basketball. Kobe's the greatest!"
No, you weren't
"Oh yea, well San Antonio sucks!"

Once again, typical.

What's San Antonio got to do with anything?........ This was a thread on a basketball forum about basketball. More specifically Kobe Bryant's underwhelming statistics over his career in the NBA Finals. You're bragging about winning popularity contests with the judges being the ignorant masses.... I could care less about those. You wouldn't see much value in 'em either if you were a real basketball fan, and not a high school girl.

Keep ridin that Kobe !

the global icon status is because of les not stats...although one could argue it's because of stats as well....either way he's the most prolific and dynamic talent the NBA has seen since MJ decided to start a career pimping Hanes underwear...

Ok, that has nothing to do with anything we've said, and Kobe's popularity being based on les and stats is so untrue anyway, but ok... So the Knicks are global icons based on les and stats too? No, if anything it's because they're New York. They're big money. They're hype machine material. I could be wrong, but I don't even think they're really that globally popular in today's age, but just entertaining your logic here. C'mon, be real...

Lebron is the most dynamic talent. Duncan/Shaq are the most prolific players..... This legend of Kobe people are falling for is mostly made up.... Mike made himself. Mike made the NBA what it is (for better and worse). Mike MADE Nike. Mike invented the highlight as we know it. The NBA, their affiliates (ESPN included), Adidas, and now Nike, made Kobe what he is because they were scared to lose (or in Adidas' case, trying to create) what Mike built once he left for good. I'm not saying Kobe isn't a very good player, because he is, that's just real, but let's keep it all the way real. He would have never been the player he's thought of today amongst the hype by so many ignorant people if he didn't have that type of higher power pushing his name/image the whole way... and oh yeah, there's that guy Shaq. Lebron is the same way, except he ended up in Cleveland and not LA, and they haven't been able to get him any rings to go with the hype yet.

Kobe's just a glorified Paul Pierce, no more no less
