I will post whatever I wish and there is nothing you can do about it. I mean come on, you are pretty much regarded as a idiot around here. Not bothering with you or your jealousy/hatred anymore.

Toodaloo!

[MiamiHeat]

Laker fans think I'm an idiot, what a ing surprise.

They also think Kobe is the GOAT, they throw garbage at NBA players who play at their stadium, they have riots instead of celebrations, they pollute nba forums with trolling, and they feel self-en led

Give me a ing break.

Spurs = Team of the Decade
Jordan = GOAT
Duncan = Player of the decade

GET WITH IT

[milkshakeballa]

A better debate would be LeBron vs Kobe

LeBron is the best player in the league right now, and has been for the past 2-3 seasons.

I thought Lebron was the best player in the NBA last season. In the regular season that is. Kobe was the best player in the playoffs. Lebron did not play at his best and that is on him.

Edit : I should also add it was pretty clear that Kobe had a better team around him than Lebron had in the playoffs.

[MiamiHeat]

Good, run from the debates you start

I don't use KY Jelly when I penetrate you, so don't sit down for a week, laker fans.

Stfu and move on.

[Ice009]

Miami Heat's listing was spot on for me.

[TheMACHINE]

The main difference between Kobe and MJ is that MJ had to carry a losing franchise on his back for the first several seasons of his career. He had to do EVERYTHING for that team just to make it respectable. As brilliant and accomplished as Kobe is, he's never had to deal with that type of pressure. He came into a great situation with a great franchise and didn't have to be the Man right away.

dude playing for the Lakers is pressure enough...if Jordan failed in Chicago, noone would have gave a damn.

[MiamiHeat]

always keep in mind the defense:
Jordan rules
There weren't flagrant fouls in Jordan's era. Teams would just knock Jordan to the floor, and the referee's only option was to call a regular foul.

Handchecking
The NBA got rid of handchecking, this was to allow for easier driving to the basket and it free's up the ball handler. In Michael's era, they would double team him as soon as his shoulder dropped and he tried taking it to the hoop. It was legal to stop Jordan with your hands, not just your feet and position. Handchecking helped out less athletic defenders, who could make up for being half a step slow, by using their hands to hold the ball-handler at 'bay'.

Bigs waiting in the paint
In Michael's era, bigs had a right to 'airspace'. Now the rules are as such that bigs can't jump to block a dunk or layup because if they make contact, it's a foul. There was no 3 second rule so teams would clog the lane to take away MJ's 'above the rim attack'. In Jordan's day you could jump from inside of the circle, or wherever you wanted, and as long as you jumped straight up, and not into the ball-handler, it was not a foul. Much more physical brand of basketball was played in Michael Jordan's era.

Also now they allow ball-handlers to carry the basketball. As well as players like Kobe Bryant get more touch fouls now on the perimeter than any single player in the history of the sport. It is a changed game.

Blablabla no Zone blabla 400 win % or rings without Pippen blablabla. Let's stop this already.

Without question MJ is Goat. Kobe reminds us of him and is so far the best player since MJ to me.

Is Kobe on par with MJ this far? NO. Is he in the backseat? I think so.

Kobe has some of the same skills as MJ which is the reason they are being compared. I don't see Kareem or Russell being compared to MJ. But like Kobe said let him be Kobe and MJ be MJ.

Lakers fans loves Kobe because he has brought it every night this past decade with broken bones and what not. He is more hungry for rings than everybody else I've seen and he has brought them. He gives us amazing games that blow our minds.
For these reasons and many more Lakers fans will always defend him.

So can't we just enjoy Kobe for who he is; a ing great baller.

Hmmmmmmmm.... seems we have another Tacker (Plagiarism) here who doesn't site sources. After reading milkshakeballa's reply to Miami (I have MiamiChris on ignore) I was thinking... I've read this before and low and behold here it is in 2008 word for word:

http://pt.netlog.com/go/explore/vide...eoid=pt-674565

I mean really.... if you're going to use someones material at least give them credit. But then again, look who we are dealing with. The biggest on Spurstalk. tsk tsk tsk

[Kobe™]

MH's stupidity just catapulted to another level.

[Mavs_man_41]

MiamiHeat just took a giant on every laker fan on this forum, and you weakasses couldn't do a damn thing but ignore him and run for cover

[wijayas]

Never trust Phil. He is now teaming up with Kobe to oust Jim Buss!
