I really disagree. I'm a big Kobe fan so me saying it can be seen as bias, but how is he not a class act? How many guys in the NBA can present themselves like Kobe does in all his interviews? In a league full of thugs and criminals, Kobe is at the top when it comes to class.

Please refer to Last Season, The. And "ship his ass outta here" re: Andrew Bynum, and trying to run away like a bitch from a playoff team because they weren't getting him his FOURTH championship quickly enough. And elbowing defenders in the face, etc.

His bitching is what brought the team together and is about to get him a 4th championship!

That's ironclad logic. It didn't have anything to do with the awesome play of that dude whose ass he wanted shipped out of there? Or one of the most one-sided trades in NBA history? No, it was Kobe's bitching all along. I wonder if the whole sexual assault thing was part of his master plan to get a fourth ring as well.

They haven't had Bynum for over 40 games! With or without Bynum they would still obviously be in the finals. It was an obvious one sided trade, but both teams got what they wanted out of it. Your Celtics went from bums to in the finals because of a trade for Garnett and getting Allen, so what are you b1tching about?

I questioned the class of the Celtic Organization. Maybe you were still sucking baby bottle when it took place, but they often did turn the Garden into a sauna in those Laker/ Celtic Championship games in the 80's. As far as specific players go, every team has problems with that.

[IrishofNDMan]

It's alright Ateam, your Celtics finally know how it feels to get into the Finals. It's just to bad that Garnett is going to completely disappear here in the Finals and the Celtics will be embarrassed.

The difference between the Lakers and the Celtics is that guys like Kobe and Fisher show up for big games, and guys like Garnett, Allen, and Pierce run and hide from them.

LOL, good old-fashioned **** talking. That, I enjoy, seriously. It's saying patently false things like "Kobe is a class act" that I find unbelievable. Good luck Irish.

That we can agree on Hoss, GO LAKERS!

Lakers in 4.

I have to agree that Kobe has some deficiencies in certain areas of his personality, but I think the guy who has what Kobe lacks is Fisher. Fish has all the team leadership qualities that were missing before he came back to the Lakers. He is very important to this team. He seems like a lot better player now, too. He seems better with age.

It's good to see Kobe have trust in his teammates, seems to trust about everyone on the team with the exception of probably Mbenga and Mihm.

He is better.
But Fischer is not a PG.
At the two position much better.
He is very slow. Very good hands but very slow.
But with Kobe, you dont have to be a true point.

If the Lakers had one of the other PG in the west,
they would be impossible to beat.
