Jordan at 33 was voted the quickest person in the league. That dude was an athletic freak. He had the quickest first step in I've ever seen. Funny thing is, he always walked like an old man...lol.
ah come on Greg, that's one of the best part of arguing sports! the big what ifs
Perhaps, just wasn't of the mindset to be debating it yesterday, because what-if debates are ultimately pointless. None of us have a real clue how Kobe would have performed in the 80's, or how Shaq and Jordan would have co-existed.
Try this on for size: if Kobe had played in the 80s, that means there wouldn't have been a Jordan for him to model his game after. So, what would Kobe's game look like without Jordan's blueprint to follow? There's a nice what-if for you to ponder over.
If you don't care what the Lakers do and don't really support them. Why do you care how Kobe does?
In everyone of your last few posts, you find a way to bad mouth Kobe.
Please, if Kobe never wins another ring, he has made his mark in the NBA.
The Lakers' failings isn't only due to Kobe, the whole team needs to play better.
I've called Kobe the 2nd bets SG to play the game so spare me the "he has made his mark" crap. We all know that.
The Lakers failings are that they have no bench and Kobe (and this is the key point as to why I started this thread) has decided that since the Lakers aren't going anywhere in the playoffs he is going to stat pad to bolster his run at top scorer of all time etc. He is 100% legacy building.
Sorry, I don't care whom the player is. If you are shooting 42.5% and taking 23 shots a game while you have an all star PF and Center.....you are not helping the team. He flat out shot them out of the Thunder game in the 2nd half. Dispute this if you want to try. 2/14 and only one shot from the paint in the 2nd half.
I am seeing the same Kobe I saw after Shaq left and before Phil came back and got his head on straight. After that happened, Kobe was the best player in the NBA for several years. This is the first year in quite a while where I can't consider him at that level.
But hey, we are just unfairly picking on Kobe because he is the greatest and can't possibly playing differently than the MVP level Kobe that we have seen the last 6 years or so.
We are just meanie poopy pants, that should shut up and give credit to Kobe for winning the game just like ESPN did.
"Kobe overcomes shooting woes to life Lakers to win"

Hand to god, that's what ESPN is saying.
I wonder what Bynum, Gasol and coach are saying.
You mean currently or of all time??? I heard some guy name Michael Jordan was the greatest of all time.
Kobe went into the paint in the GS scorefest yesterday and made 7/8 from the paint. He ended up shooting >50% and having 40pts. That's what the Lakers need to succeed.
