You say this when Kobe is arguably having the best playoffs of his career and freaking willed his team to victory single handedly in many games most notably game 6 of the Phoenix series.

Lebron lacks the leadership skills and won’t get in player’s faces when they need to be confronted. You are blind to Lebron’s shortcomings that many other analyst’s have pointed out because you are so infatuated with his physical skills and stats. Physical skills and stats don’t necessarily equal leadership or equal championships. Gimme a break.

We aren’t talking about best leader, best finisher, or the goat, we are talking about the best PLAYER. Lebron does more things than Kobe therefore making him the better player.

And I’m having trouble trying to save the picture on my browser (google chrome) any help would be appreciated.

Well, I’m late to this party this year but damn this thread has been sizzling! Very pleased to see my Lakers back in the finals and I think they have a good shot to repeat. Much as I dislike the Celts, gotta respect them. They’re a veteran, almost desperate team. Their window of opportunity is rapidly closing. History is certainly on Boston’s side. Game 1 is going to set the tone right away.

Rand, saying the Lakers bench hasn’t played aswell as the Celtics bench is like saying my avatar is only a little bit better than yours.

Understatement!

Lets play a quick round of a a game I like to call ‘Fact or Fiction’. Hope I don’t need to explain how it works…

Just random stuff im throwing out there. Give an explanation as to why you chose your answer if you feel the need.

  1. Fact or Fiction: If Arvydas Sabonis was playing today he’d be a top 3 center in the league.

  2. Fact or Fiction: Rajon Rondo plays the point better than Darren Williams.

  3. Fact or Fiction: If LeBron goes to Chicago the Bulls will be the most dynamic Bulls team ever.

  4. Fact or Fiction: LeBron will win atleast one title in the next 5 years.

  5. Fact or Fiction: If the Lakers lose to the Celts all eyes will be on Kobe Bryant.

  6. Fact or Fiction: If the Lakers lose Kobe will not win another championship again.

  7. Fact or Fiction: Phil Jackson will be Lakers coach next year.

  8. Fact or Fiction: Shaquille O’Neal will retire in the next 3 years.

  9. Fact or Fiction: Kevin Durant will become MVP and socring leader next year.

  10. Fact or Fiction: Give Greg Popovich (and Tim Duncan) a good center and they’ll get you a championship.

  11. Fact or Fiction: CP3 will be the league’s best PG next year.

  12. Fact or Fiction: The ratings of these Finals will be greater than the ratings of the last finals (or the last Lak-C final).

  8. Fact
  9. Tough one… I say fiction. He gets one or the other but not both

1077

Lakers in 6. Lakers wins game 1 93 to 84.

1078

^I like your prediction but I dont think the Lakers win a close out game in Boston… so I say either in 5 or in 7 (more than likely 7)

Jerry West: Kobe is Greatest Laker of All Time

I have to say I’m a little surprised. I think if/when Kobe wins his 5th ring he’s right there with Magic Johnson but West thinks otherwise.

He is a highly entertaining writer and this was a fun-to-read piece on the upcoming Celts-Lakers finals matchup.
