If you can't get your students to understand the new material, keep repeating until it carve onto their brains. Brainwash them. That's my point. Hard to take isn't? CAV 1- ORL 1 Game 3. Lets go.

Sorry professor but this isn't kindergarten...

Novax and QS, I just came back from long weekend and seeing you guys annoying here to defense Kobe :) Who doesn't have basketball knowledge?

I am not the same with you guys, i loved Sixers basketball team but i didn't like Iversion even he try to play hard for Sixers. I was about thinking that Sixers should trade him. And now you see how Iversion.

Upon returning to Kobe, he got 3 championship ring in early 2000s because of:

Shaq and Robert Horry (3-point keyplayer)

Without these two great players, Kobe doesn't have any rings since then. He is another selfish player that cause failure in any sports.

Novax, you compare Kobe vs. Lebron Jame, think about 7 (SEVEN) years what Kobe makes for Lakers that without Shaq and others good players?

Long time serve in NBA [Kobe] is not a reason to say Kobe is a great player than LeBron Jame, that is an idiot comparison.

Novax, you should remember this, any sport player has his/her own time that perform the best. Kobe best performance time was over and he did not get anything much for Lakers for last 7-8 years.

You guys just don't accept the facts but gossip around to find a way to defense for Kobe.

Another good Nuggest-lakers game yesterday... this thing looks like it is going to go the distance. We'll see if the Cavs could get one on the road today to make it a series!!

By the way, did you guys notice how exhausted Kobe looked yesterday; the same could be said about LeBron in other games.... These guys are SOOO competitive and willing to do anything to win, which is why they are so much respected!!
I am not a Kobe fan, but I respect his competitive nature.

I really thought the Lakers have a better supporting cast around Kobe than James and I still do, but the effort yesterday from the Lakers was shameful. Just look at Kobe and how hard he is playing while you see half of his teammates sleep walking!

LeBron's supporting cast may be less talented, but you can't blame them for lack of effort.

Oh I forgot,
the Nuggets looked scary yesterday. All the damage they inflected was without the contributions of Melo....

kobe wants to give you a hug, fact.

I knew the Lakers were going to lose last night but I didn't expect that kind of ass whoopin. I was so sure that I bet on Nuggets. There is a lot of $$ to be made in this series especially when outcomes are pretty much predictable. My turn to cash in.

:thumbup::thumbup:

JGQ, it's all about team player feature of Kobe. You are a NBA player, you want to contribute and get the same recognize as others player in a team. There were times that Lakers players didn't want to share ball or assist Kobe to score. Why? They responsed to what Kobe has done.

Iverson was the same, looked exhausted, mad, upset just like Kobe... and Sixers didn't reach to anywhere beside wining ECF series in 2001.

Kobe and Iversion will really good if their career is boxing! One on One!!! :)

19 points lost in Conference final was an ashamed result that applies to any NBA team. And it's happened for Laker with a super star like Kobe.

Anyway, 2-2 series tie is great WCF. If Nuggests win tomorrow game, it's over. Lakers have more opportunity to win this series, they have home court advance.

You are really funny whenever you refer to Kobe winning championships and you add the SHAQ tag on the trophy. Unless you really want to play KOBE vs. 5 then or 5 KOBE vs. 5. Then you got it right. Every championship is won with 5 Players. Even Michael Jordan won with 5 players, Bird won with 5 players, Magic won with 5 players. There is no team win with 1 player. Everyone in the team play as hard as another. That confirms you are just biased, with the hatred inside of you towards KOBE, you can't accept anything that he accomplished. Until Lebron accomplished something in the leauge he is still a Noob when compared to the Greats of NBA such as Jordan, Magic, Shaq, Kobe, Bird, ect. As of current, he is selling more tickets and more jerseys, more shoes for the NBA. Other than that, he hasn't done anything to deserve a comparison to other super stars. I would want to see him winning championships but right now i gotta say he is not at that level just yet. And you forgot something, THERE IS NO 1 vs 5 game in NBA. Its always 5 vs. 5. You mention about A.I, he is old thats all. He will get traded around until he retires. Thats what happens to most NBA players when the get old. Look at Karl Malone, he was Jazz franchise player, but still got traded to Lakers. Look at Gary Payton, he was S.S franchise player but got traded to Lakers, Heat and somewhere else. Look at Shaq, he was a Lakers franchise players and got traded to Heat, Phoenix and right now is nursing his ailing knees, ankles, and his fat belly. You just dont have enough NBA knowledge to get your point acrossed.
