Kobe making excuses of why isn't quite Jordan-esque.....
eNgIeS:
I think Kobe's a great player in his own merit, perhaps one of the most talented EVER to play the game
But he isn't on Jordan's level. Well, no one is, Lebron has a chance if his defense continues to improve & his shot continues to improve.
Kobe has maybe a more talented cast the last 2 seasons than MJ ever had, but i guess you could say his 2nd best player (Gasol) isn't as good as Pippen. But I think role players on a whole are individually better, its just the role players on the Bulls teams in the 90's clicked better.

Not only was Pippen a great distributor, but was also the Bulls best defender and took pressure off of Jordan on the defensive end by always shutting down the opponents best player. teecee... when Kobe collects 3 titles within the next few years and LeBron collects 0 then will you still be talkin this shit?

I don't know if I was exactly talking shit.........
3 titles in the next few years?
ZERO for Lebron? How about this? Lebron, by the end of his career, will have LEAD his team to more titles than Kobe will have lead his team to. Lebron won't have a chance to ever play with the most dominant player in the game, but he WILL lead his team to more chips.
You also said the Lakers would sweep the Cavs in the finals. I'm just taking note of what you saying and not responding. We'll see what happens; neither of us can predict the future, but I think the Lakers and Cavs, if they both make it, is gonna be a long series.

You can't predict the future, but you did. LOL. How can you say that thing referring to Lebron? Who knows? Maybe he'll be the next Tracy McGrady. Who knows! Till now he's 0-1. Kobe too. Let's wait and see.

jordan lost games almost as embarrassing.
Orlando with shaq and penny. they almost lost in the first round to the charlotte hornets, they got pounded the first 2 games by utah during the last title. plus we conveniantly forget jordan's bulls got schooled by the pistons and celtics. so i mean it's not accurate to say that jordan would never have had a game like that.
it's like kobe said though, it doesn't matter if lose by 30 or win by 30 , every game brings a new energy." you got to win the series or be able to come back....and in that instance i see kobe being jordan-esque.
