The Kobe Thread

[Babak]

This thread is long overdue as this man deserves his own space separate from all other NBA talk. I am a big fan of Lebron's skills on the basketball court, but there is no denying greatness when you see it, and there is no doubt that Kobe is by far the greatest player of this generation. I will be personally rooting for him to get 2 or 3 more championships in order to silence all critics and doubters about his status as the greatest to ever play the game, ahead of Jordan.
Awe-inspiring greatness like his is rare, so as persianbruin would say, lets just try to enjoy this guy's greatness while he is still around. I'll start off by posting a couple videos of the recent buzzer beaters:

Jack Nicholson's face is just classic at :25 in the video

i can take him


yea he's without a doubt the next jordan...only flaw i see in him is that sometimes he can't handle pressure when a player gets on his nerve. Sort of like the celtics final a couple of years ago. But i think he's matured since then so it'll be nice to get a revenge final this year. Although it'll be scary cuz celtics are DEEEEP....garnet, allen, pierce, house, rondo, perkins, wallace.....list goes on...

[Babak]

At this point he is so motivated that I think he will destroy Pierce and the Celtics in a Finals rematch this year. Injury is the only thing that can stop the Lakers this year, nothing will stand in there way.

cleveland isnt goign to do jack this year, they are a one man team. lakers got it on lock this year. Nobody in the west, maybe Denver, can challenge them.

Don't forget the Magic. They got Vince who is also awesome in the fourth quarter ...

I agree. I think the Magic are actually the biggest obstacle standing in the way of a Laker championship this year, without a doubt.

not a chance


nuggets are a good team and they're games are exciting but they cant keep up with the lakers...winning nba championships has to do with experience and focus, not just simply who can play ball

i think lakers only competition is houston and celtics

Houston?

And here's the 3 pointer to tie the game in regulation in the same game:



Funny part is he hits the shot over Ruben Patterson, the self proclaimed "Kobe stopper."

Houston?

ya didnt they beat us in LA?

[Babak]

ya didnt they beat us in LA?

They're a hard working and well coached team, but severely undertalented and overachieving. They would be a huge underdog to beat the Lakers in a series.

ya i still dont think they can beat us 4 games but we'll have some problems

They are undertalented without the likes of Yao and Tracy, But they arguably have the best Team Chemistry in the league.. Why do you underrate them so much?


Anyhow, I don't think we can take the Lakers with this team, but overachievers? come on
