Kobe making excuses of why isn't quite Jordan-esque.....

[teecee]

Numerous people have mentioned that Michael Jordan would never allow the Chicago Bulls to lose a game like Thursday night's -- his team would never blow a 13-point third-quarter lead while Jordan made only five of 24 shots.

Bryant shook his head.

"One big difference," he said. "Michael had Scottie Pippen. He had someone who could distribute the ball and keep everyone else involved."

Bryant momentarily sighed.

"Michael could come out and shoot the ball 40 times a game," Bryant said. "I can't do that."

Again, he smiled.

"Having someone like Pippen would be a big luxury for me, because scoring is what I do best, but it's OK," he said. "It's a challenge, and I welcome the challenge."

Wow. Just admit you had a bad game, and admit that Jordan would've left it all on the floor in game 6 last year................Kobe stays making excuses.  He has the most talented team in the league.  Like Barkley said, if Kobe can't lead his team to the title this year with the team he has, he is NEVER going to do it. 

Besides, we all know if Kobe shot 40+ a game, that = a Laker loss.  The less he shoots and the more he gets teammates involved, the more likely the Lake show wins.

LOL...can anyone imagine how many titles Kobe would have right now if he had Pippen playing by his side this whole time? 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 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.

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.
