2. Scottie was a supoerstar in his own right. But even he couldn't take the Bulls back to the championships after Jordan's 1st hiatus. 3. The eastern conference during Jordan's time was the better of the 2 leagues. (Detroit, New York, Miami, even an aging Celtics) were all more physical and talented than was we have now adays. 4. The Suns with Barkley, Utah with Stockton and Malone in their primes, Drexler and the Trailblazers were not old and were very talented, and the Sonics with Payton and Kemp were all very very good teams. Jordan and the Bulls were just that good in beating all of them. 5. Of course he didn't help much. The guy was 38! Yet he was still top 10 in the league at that time. 6. Jordan and the Bulls were defeated by the Magics because Jordan just came out of retirement and was clearly not in basketball shape. But the following year he and the Bulls swept the same team winning 72 games in the regular season. So please don't compare Kobe at this point to Jordan. It's not even close. Like I said Kobe at times does Jordan like things, but this is only his 1st year playing team ball as the leader of the Lakers. He has a LONG was to go to be compared to Jordan, Magic, Bird, West, Russell....and so on.

Since the Jazz lost to the Lakers in the playoffs, I'm rooting for the Celtics in the finals. I actually don't mind the Lakers so much, but they have plenty of rings, and I want to see the underdog win.

Heck he even went to the extent of not shooting at all in playoff games so that people wouldn't label him as things (ballhog, team killer) that he just wasn't. Those times that he passed the ball and set his guys up all game and they lost proved just how bad the rest of the team was. Whether he put up 40 points, or passed all game and put up 15, people would hate on him cause the team lost. Now he goes a half without scoring, but his team holds the lead. When the opponents adjust at halftime he simply turns it on and scores 25 in the second half. And people praise him now because the team is winning. |

This years success is not all Kobe. You got to give most of the credit to Phil Jackson and the coaching staff for making Kobe play team ball and for developing the players around him. Also credit to Kupchack for stealing Gasol from the Grizzlies.

i said that if Kobe wins a couple of more championships in the next 3 to 4 years there should at least be a debate that he is the greatest player of all time what does upset me, though, is when people start comparing other players to Jordan i.e. several years ago Iverson was "The Answer" and now LeBron "The King" is compared to Jordan if anybody is going to be compared to Jordan imho it has to be Kobe Iverson and LeBron are amazingly good but they are not in the league with Jordan, Bird, Magic, and Kobe Kobe should at least be mentioned with Bird, Magic, and Jordan but then again the disappointing performance last night doesn't help my case too much if the Celtics play defense like that throughout the series look for them to win - but Phil Jackson, being one of the greatest coachs of all time, will hopefully find an answer to the Celtic defense

The Lakers will in it in six games. Lakers bench is more deep than the C's. I'm glad the Lakers are young enough to win a few more. Next year when Andrew Bynum comes back look out! I see 65 wins or more. The Celtics have a bunch of old washed-up stars that could not do it all these years. The Celtics put together these players to win it this year and after that they will all get the pink slips. The Celtics are jealous because the Lakers have won 3 times since the Celtics won last in 1986.
