PJ "Kobe's as Good as Michael

[TheNextGen]

lol...writing a book bashing Kobe, only to come back anyways and win 2 rings with the guy he bashed.

I guess Pj doesnt have credibility after-all. lol

[rayjayjohnson]

Phil was still dating Jeanie Buss, at the time of his departure..

I would recommend Phil's book to anybody that hasn't read it, quality stuff..his stories about Kobe are eye-opening, I didn't know a human being could be of such ty quality..

seriously? after everything you've seen and heard about kobe, you're still surprised when you find out he's a total knob?

Bean being a s bag doesn't surprise me at all.

[TheNextGen]

tbh, im surprised someone like Harlem doesnt like someone like Kobe.

[cobbler]

lol jordan was 40 when he played for the wiz, you really think bone on bone will be playing pro ball at that age?

37 and the mileage (gametime) is about the same. Kobe will be playing at 37 yes.

Really? No mirrors in your world?

You can't have the kind of dominant personalities both Jordan and Kobe have and not be an asshole and a s bag at times.

[cobbler]

How did you deal with that when Phil Jackson left the team? I know it is tough because you have your boyfriend on one side and your dad and organization on the other.

JB: Yeah, you know sometimes when I'm talking with my dad, I said 'when Phil got fired', he says 'he didn't get fired, his contract wasn't renewed.' I go, 'okay, whatever.' That was probably that toughest time of my life. It
really was because I saw that Phil wasn't really ready to go and I think he felt he had more to do with this organization.


Nope... cannot possibly see any bitterness there. And how can you someone use PJ's book as an example when the very same man came crawling back. What PJ do you believe? Maybe the Kobe haters should read about PJ's previous backstabbing of assistant coaches etc. Some source.

[HarlemHeat37]

Obviously, it didn't surprise me that Kobe was a piece of ..you kind of expect that from a rapist..

However, I was surprised to read/hear about confrontations that he had with Phil Jackson, a HOFer and 9 time champion(at the time), along with Kobe's veteran teammates..Kobe was like 23-24 at the time, so you would expect some respect, he wasn't an old vet..I was surprised that a student of the game, like Kobe, would treat a legend like Phil Jackson in that way..

Yeah Jordan was a sweetheart.

"They've got no idea what it's all about. The white guys, they work hard, but they don't have the talent. And the rest of them? Who knows what to expect? They're not good for much of anything."

"Give me the ******* ball." - Michael to Doug Collins who drew up a play for Dave Corzine

"I hate when I have to read that in the papers the next day, that I couldn't do something. It wasn't my fault."

"You're an idiot. You've screwed up every play we ever ran. You're too stupid to even remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you." - Michael to Horace Grant

"If you [pass the ball to Bill Cartwright], you'll never get the ball from me."

"Headache tonight, Scottie?" - Michael asks Scottie, while showing him his 2-for-16 line

"Five more years and I'm out of here. I'm marking these days on a calendar, like I'm in jail. I'm tired of being used by this organization, by the league, by the writers, by everyone."

"They're not interested in winning. They just want to sell tickets, which they can do because of me. They won't make any deals to make us better. And this Kukoc thing. I hate that. They're spending all their time chasing this guy."

"If I were a general manager, we'd be a better team."

"He can't do anything with the ball. Don't give it to him." - Michael yelling at Paxson who passed the ball to Perdue

"I'm sure everything will be fine if we win, but if we start losing, I'm shooting."

"I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is."

"He's causing me too many turnovers." - Michael on Cartwright's inability to catch

[HarlemHeat37]

Did I mention Jordan's personality?..

Jordan was a piece of , too, not as bad as Kobe, obviously, but he has many antisocial traits..

However, to be fair, the Kobe stories came from Phil Jackson himself..not writers..

[Ed Lover]

Why remove his wiz years? Longevity is a factor. Kobe rignt now is at his Wiz years in terms of timespan. MJ was done. Kobe is far from it. Let's see how it all plays out when he is.

c'mon son, you need to roll up on out of this thread

It goes with the territory with guys like this. If they were nice guys they wouldn't have had the mentality that has helped make them as dominant as they have been on the court.

[Koolaid_Man]

hey, actual question here -

i was a lot younger when MJ was beasting, and not living in the US it was a lot harder to comprehensively follow the NBA.

Is the standard of play now better than it was in the 90s? Would MJ win 6 if he played now, with, hypothetically, rose as his pippen?

So you come here from Africa and act a complete ass...Shameful dude...

[Koolaid_Man]

Don't forget the best line of all " You're A Flaming got" - MJ to Kwame...


and the punch to Paxson's Jaw...

[Medvedenko]

LOL harmlem heat.....how old are you bro...
This youtube and basketball reference generation is laughable when comparing players and evaluating talent. You didn't even watch MJ when he was coming up or even when he was in his prime.

I've seen both and Kobe is more talented, however team accomplishments trump Kobe's legacy in comparison. However, I've beat this drum for years now. Nothing new.

[ElNono]

HarlemHo? really? who are you trying to appeal to here?..

The masses, obviously, tbh, imo.
