How come Kobe is ALWAYS

[Samarta]

I was watching the pre-game show for the Heat/Lakers game the other and almost choked on my Christmas dinner when I heard Mark Jackson say that when it is all said and done and he is walking away from the game, Kobe will be the best player ever to play. No doubt that he is one of the best now, but the best of all time. He can't be serious. Kobe spent way too much time worrying about whether or not he was going to have to play second fiddle to Shaq. No telling how many titles they could have won if they kept the peace out there. And I gotta believe it was strictly Kobe, because what does Shaq do? Comes to Miami and wins a title with Wade.

And I thought the comments Phil Jackson made the other day were kind of telling. I'll have to find them, something about it being hard to get Shaq to work.

Your crazy. He couldn't hold Jordan's jock.

Don't follow the NBA all that closely... but this I know to be true.

I'm a Laker fan, have been since I was a little kid watching the Lakers when I lived out in LA, but I agree, Kobe couldn't hold a candle to Jordan, or Magic for that matter. but I think he's the best in the game today.

I would take Wade over him any day of the week, more complete in my opinion

Kobe is more talented and better than Jordan ever dreamt of being!

KOBE IS MVP!

I'll tell u what's funny. Kobe saying that Gilbert Arenas has no conscience and that he just goes out there and chucks them up. He says that Arenas took a lot of bad shots and when they happen to go in, they look like great shots. He said he's not used to seeing someone with that kind of shooting mentality.

I guess what Kobe is trying to say is that he's never looked in a mirror. The guy is an ******* pure and simple. He mentioned how Arenas only got his 60 with the help of shooting so many free throws. He said "I mean, the guy shot 27 free throws, come on now." Well, he must have forgotten how he shot 25 FT's against Dallas when he scored his 62 last year.....and that was in three quarters. Arenas shot 27 in overtime. Here are some numbers from Kobe's three highest scoring games and from the two where Arenas just put up 60 and 54.

Kobe
41 mins...46 shots (28 made)....20 FT.....81 pts....2 asts
32 mins...31 shots (18 made)....25 FT.....62 pts....0 asts
54 mins...45 shots (22 made)....12 FT.....58 pts....4 asts

Arenas
49 mins...32 shots (17 made)....27 FT.....60 pts...8 asts
48 mins...37 shots. (21 made)....6 FT......54 pts...4 asts

U tell me who's the bigger gunslinger and who has no conscience?
