And Tone's talking that "dominant center" crap, and how Bulls didnt have one...But thats why the TRIANGLE OFFENSE was perfect for the Bulls...Before the triangle offense, Jordan would always get smoked by the Pistons...Basically, before Phil Jackson, Jordan would carry his team to the Eastern Conference Finals, and he would always have a tough time shooting againts Detroit, because they would SMASH Jordan...one night he had a 5/15 shooting, next night he scored 19 points...I wish you people were a little more educated on the game... ::)

All you got is a bunch of street ballers who think the high light reel is more important than the score board. If Kobe was playing in the 80s, and wasn't on Philly, Boston, or LA, he never would have even come close to taking a team to the finals. Shaq very well could have, and probably won, at least once.

Shaq and Kobe is 50/50, if Kobe leaves, will they win as much? No, but they can still go far in the play offs. If Shaq leaves I'd wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even make thwe play offs. I remember the beginning of the Season (I think last year), Shaq was out for the first few weeks. Kobe had a near a triple double every game, and shined like a star, but the team went 3 for 12.

Like Red Auerbach strongly believed, personal stats don't mean shit if you're not winning the game. Kobe can impress all he wants, but he's gotta win. When he finally is alone and he loses pitifully, I'll be back to celebrate my prophecy.

Look at the game now, they let zone defense in because the guys suck at defense so much now they figured they'd cut them a break. Can you imagine Zone defense with Bird's Celtics? They would have won 3 more championships. There is a reason the ratings get lower every year, it's because smart Basket Ball took a back seat to showmanship and egos. The quality just isn't as high as it used to be. Maybe in individual skills it's higher, but teams win, not players.

First of all, playoffs and basketball are both one word...Second off, the Final's ratings have doubled from last season...Third of all, that crap you said about the Lakers going 3 for 12 with Kobe getting tripple doubles is a load of bullshit...Lakers have never lost when Kobe had a tripple double... ::)

Your paragraph lacks parallelism. It contains no periods yet it has complete sentences. This a forum not an English class, and besides I don't think playoffs or play offs are even actual words. Furthermore, when I said the game sucks I didn't mean TV ratings, even though they are nowhere near the ratings they got in the glory days, (who care what they were last year? THe game has sucked since the late '90s.). Finally, I didn't say he got triple doubles, I said he almost got triple doubles. This means double doubles with a third stat being 8 or 9. In closing I would like to say that the greatest player of all time is Bill Russel, 11 championships in 13 years, and the greatest young player of all time is Larry Bird, if you saw what he did with the Celts his first year in you'd understand. So lets put all this Jordan vs. Kobe stuff to rest. Time will tell. I just don't think Kobe will be seen as better, ever, but I could be wrong.

I dont think Bill Russell is the greatest of all time, but he IS likely the best leader and the best winner basketball has ever seen.   Still, if MJ wouldn't have retired, bulls woulda won 8 in a row likely....

And putting Bird over Magic is just off...

teecee:
The comparison is OFFICIALLY stopped as of tonight.....   peace
