2008 KOBE M.V.P.!!!

Good game yesterday. It came down to one or two plays down the stretch just like the previous one. This series is/will be a lot of fun.

Though I think that the Nuggets could win their series, I think the Lakers are in better shape than the Cavs whom I think will win theirs. The key is that Cavs looked impotent down the stretch. LeBron looked AWESOME but the rest of the team looked as if they hoping that he could deliver for them. Not being able to score is one thing, but not being able to defend is another. The Cavs did not lose because they couldn't score, they lost because they allowed the magic to score at well. The 3 pointer by Lewis was unacceptable!! You were up by two and only a three could beat you... You should defend the three. It’s a classic road team approach; take a three to win over a two to tie!!

As to the Lebron/Kobe discussion that is taking place, I knew it will eventually happen. IMHO Lebron is better and more complete player than Kobe... Look at the rosters and you'll see why!

Saying Lebron is better does not diminish Kobe... It's just like saying Jordan is better than any player of his time... say Magic or Hakim. They were all great!!

I am not a Kobe hater, but it is unfair to put the three rings in the comparison. He had them when he had the big Diesel!!!! and If recall correctly Shaq was the finals MVP in all of them. At that time he was the Robin not the Batman of that team!!

Let me rephrase that.

"IMO, hell, yeah!"

The league's drug testing policy is inadequate, hence there is no overwhelming proof.

The NBA has the highest average salary of all major sports. You don't think there's an incentive to being the fastest, strongest, and quickest to recover?

Is that a blue X5 in your avatar? That explains everything.

Your guess is a good as mine.
I have no clue. I just watch
the games and enjoy the action.

I must have missed it though
Did we arrive at a consensus?
Will we have a champion from
the East or the West......

Yes, we will have a champion from the West or East. I'll even call it a lock.

I totally agree with Ohio brother JGQ, 3 rings for Lakers that contributed by the MVP big foot SHAQ! Without SHAQ, Kobe can not make any better for Lakers. Compare team around Kobe today vs. Team with Kobe and Shaq [same Phil Jackson], [1999-2003] that team was huge and played greatest basketball.

FYI - I love SHAQ Can't wait to see Shaq, join TNT half-time gossip.

QS, why do I? Wanna tell you guys the fact and the true value of Kobe beside his personality or regardless his personality -

He has no background. In 2001 he promised to give 200 tickets for his highschool friends, teachers when Lakers played in Philly for final series. That's official statement, however until his ex classmates came to Wachovia building, his speakman said that if you get free tickets you have to wear Lakers fans shirt and support for all Lakers while in Sixers' house. Of course they didn't want that and they was so upset. They said it's better to buy ticket and it's much better to tell them ahead that way.

Future investigations, Kobe just want to impress media how "great background" he is but never confirm with his management.
