Bill Simmons is pretty educated when it comes to B-Ball. Dude is funny aswell.dunno how he's moronic when he usually backs up any of statements with legit facts
26. Kevin GarnettA. He missed the playoffs for three straight years in his prime. B. He made it past the first round once in his entire career.C. You can't say those things about any other "superstar" from the past 30 years. Not one of them.
8. Kobe BryantAveraging 41 points in the past 31 days, a stretch that featured two 40-point games, four 50-point games and two 60-point games. Absolutely remarkable, even if the Lakers went 8-8 over that stretch and will get slaughtered by Phoenix in Round 1 because they reverted back to "Let's stand around and wait for Kobe to take over" mode. So much for the round of "Mr. Team Play" stories (can I have that two months of my life back?). And for anyone arguing that Kobe deserves MVP consideration for carrying an obviously mediocre team ... um, isn't he the same guy who pushed Shaq out of town and created this mess in the first place? (I can't stick him higher than eighth. I just can't.)
