Lakers: Did Kobe surpass Pippen?

[Chomag]

Pippen: led his team to 55 wins after losing the best player in the game and was 1 game away from the ECF

I'm late to the party but 1000X this!
Pippen did that with a scrub team after MJ left.
Kobe can hardly make the playoffs without other star players around him.

& that curious blend of cruelty & comedy pulls you in and never lets go.

pretty much. like when Hans Gruber says with sincerity and malice "relax Theo, it's Christmas". Die Hard is truly the proverbial lightning in a bottle.

Yep, like when he shoots Takagi in the head...it's okay, I can watch that and not feel like anybody really died unlike other films where I cant' do it.

And the attention to detail by the actors:::the coke head (fine character actor though his name escapes me). He had the wherewithal after he'd been shot and they were dragging his body out to leave his ankles and feet limp. Now c'mon, HI, that is special. Takagi even has a very sharp edge to him. Now was that him, or, a direction? And Gleason starts hard & direct, but, evolves the character right before our eyes,,,and it's believable. It's done so naturally you feel gladdened by it.

Even the stewardess that flirts with McClain is brazen and pure American girl, the clarity right there.

It's an American motion picture, done on American soil and it's clean right on thru.
