Really, I just wanted to find a meaningful game where Kobe sucked, and the 2004 Finals was the first thing I thought of. But I suppose I should have linked to this Playoff game from last year.
Yeah, and I had to go back even further to get to Kobe's Championships.
Are you saying that 2008 Kobe doesn't have off games?

Every player has good and bad games. Hence why they record averages when it comes to stats.
You can compare best to best or worse to worse game but the best barometer for the measure of an individual vs another individual is the statistics.
Comparing character is an abstract term that you can't truly weigh unless you are in both lockerrooms and have an honest, unfiltered view of how teammates and coaches view a player. Reading it in the media doesn't cut it - pro and con.
But celebrating about 41? C'mon now. We all know thats half of what Kobe is capable of when he's on.
All I was trying to say.Every player has good and bad games.![]()
I guess.
Wasn't that Parker's only 40+ pt game of his career? Kobe has what? 89 regular season ones and probably another dozen in the playoffs. Come to think of it, Kobe averaged 40 for a month before.
Silly to compare.
A hot, mexican wife.
when kobe had no help spurs beat them and the spurs concerened on kobe
kobe>tp
but saying kobe does not need any help is stupid
why in the do you think he demanded the lakers do something or he wanted out
Compare what? Someone suggested Kobe wouldn't have followed up a great performance with a clunker, and I pointed out instances where he did.
We can't have Manu vs Tony threads, but we can have Kobe vs Tony threads? Sounds hypocritical to me...
No...that's not what you said, you said "the intelligence to not release". Now, unless you're stupid...and let's face it, you are anyway...the fact that it wasn't released had nothing to do with his intelligence and everything to do with the intelligence of his record company.
So as usual... way to be a dip .
A dip is someone who can't even remember his own quotes...and/or doesn't understand what his own words mean...
As usual.
Tony has 3 rings
parker doesn't deserve to be mentioned on the same planet as kobe nevermind same league
He's saving it for the WCF.
P.S: Tony got that when he got his finals MVP.
They both have a hot mexican wife![]()
You're telling me a multi millionaire who has connections all over Hollywood couldn't release an album even if a legit recording company didn't want to produce his album? Riiiiiiiight.
Ever heard of Indy labels?
I never said Kobe didn't make an album. I said Kobe was smart enough not to release one.
No, you are a dip .
A first round sweep in the 2008 playoffs.
Why is this thread still on the first page...oh yeah to show the lunacy of the Original poster's senseless ramblings while bathing in a great performance by Tony Parker. Incidentally his great performance in the annals of Kobe's is pretty much average. Oh well.....
I'm the first to say that Kobe is way better than Tony but scoring more points doesn't necessarily mean that one player is better than the other.
Scoring 40 isn't so hard for a talented player if that player has the freedom to take 30/35 shots. I bet that if Kobe'd average 15 shots per game and Parker 20, Tony'd have a better scoring average. But that'd not make Tony better than Kobe.

Look dude I don't know you...but that's a pretty dense post. There's a reason Kobe takes a lot of shots and has done successfully in the past...it's because he's talented enough to get them off and score at a high percentage. Scoring 40 isn't hard...really, than for a "talented player" like Parker why has he only done this what like once in his career. Of course it's not all about points and I was arguing that stance, and there are plenty more facets to Kobe's game that far exceed young Parkers.
Tony Parker better than Kobe? That croissant eating Frenchman will tell you how idiotic that statement is himself if you asked him.
Parker's scored 40 only TWICE in his career 'cause he averages around 13 shots per game and he's never took more than 30 shots in a game (it's easier to make more points when you take more shots) and he averages only 13 shots per game 'casue he plays with Duncan and Ginobili.
And tell me when was Kobe more successfull, when he didn't have all the offensive freedom in the world 'cause he had to feed Shaq inside or when O'neal left and he averaged 35 points per game only to get knocked out in the first round?
And about all the other things, I already told you that I think that Kobe is a better and more complete player than Parker. I just wanted to point out that they guy that scores more points isn't necessarily the better player.
Parker is good but he aint Kobe ... he AINT even Chris paul or Dwill
The fact that it didn't get fully released had nothing to do with Kobe(other than he sucked)...idiot.

Like Allen Iverson's 'Misunderstood,' music execs pulled the plug on Kobe Bryant's 2000 rap album 'Visions.' Yet, unlike A.I.'s disc, the album wasn't shelved because it contained vulgar and controversial lyrics. No, the album was squashed because, well, it was bad. Despite Columbia Records putting the kibosh on the project, the single 'K.O.B.E.' was released in the spring. When it came to this sinking ship, Bryant wasn't stranded alone -- Tyra Banks joined him on the track to drop a few rhymes too. Why, oh, why?
Now, do you understand what the word, "execs" and the phrase "pulled the plug" mean, idiot? Or do you need 3rd grade words and phrases defined for you?
Ever heard of Indy labels?
Ever hear of a contract? Idiot.
Right...and you were wrong...and not only are you too stupid to realize that...
I never said Kobe didn't make an album. I said Kobe was smart enough not to release one.
No, you are a dip .
You compound your own stupidity by calling someone else a dip ...
You're wrong.
One more time for the idiots among us:
music execs pulled the plug
You said Kobe had the intelligence not to release an ablum..and that was false. You were wrong...idiot.
