What? Kobe is 6 6 205. west is 6 3 (in heels!) and 180. Same size? Besides, everyone knows Kobe is bothered more by length than speed on defense. Same speed? Whatever you say buddy.
Everybody knows Kobe is bothered by length? Like who? Manute Bol? West is far closer to Kobe size and speed wise than you want to give him credit for. Shaq is listed at 290 too.

West is, by NBA standards, an undersized 2 guard at 6 3. A three inch height advantage is big...especially when it comes to guarding arguably the best player in the world.

length, like who? How about Tayshaun Prince? How about Rashard Lewis? Shaun marion? Those guys have at times done very well against Kobe. Even bigger physical guys have done well like artest or even pierce, who is very underrated defensively. Now when i say very well, I mean it relatively. Kobe will get his when he gets his no matter who is guarding him.

Smaller players he tends to eat alive because he can shoot over them so easily.

West did a very good job against Joe Johnson who is bigger than Kobe. While Johnson isn't Kobe he is an NBA allstar. I agree that stopping Kobe is not an option but West will make him work harder for his points than most and will also keep him honest at the other end. Kobe must have been sick the night Rashard Lewis gave him trouble.

Delonte West is going to keep Kobe Bryant honest? Delonte West? DELONTE WEST?????? And he will make him work harder than MOST? Who is most? I think may be talking about the cousin of Most named SOME.

Delonte West is a solid NBA player and he is having a good playoffs. Lets not confuse him with being anything but a role player though.

How has LA beaten them 10 straight times when Denver beat the Lakers 90-79 just this year? LA had won nine straight before that but I kinda think a loss breaks a streak.

Sorry...i regurgitated the wrong info. They had beaten them 9 straight and have beaten them now 10 of 11. Great match up.

A side note. On the game they lost, there were travel issues and they didnt get to the hotel until 4 a.m and were playing their 3 game in four nights...at denver no less.

Yeah I might as well bet Jai Alai. I mean it can't be as fixed as the NBA.

I'd rather get kicked in the testicles 100 times than place a wager against the NBA's Golden Boy against The Denver Back Door Mauler.
