Ot: Lakers vs Magic
- Thread starter kai&jord
- Start date
Mike take it easy on the guy. I at least give him kudos for showing face on the thread. He also gave props to pau. The series is far from over but I am glad my team is up two as oppose to being down 2. I think van gundy made a good decision in not playing alston or jameer In the end. Alston is shooting worse then fisher was. Tuesday is do or die for the magic. Lakers by 12 Kobe goes for 45. Alston throws a towel at van gundy, and lakers sweep on Thursday. See you guys at the parade. Go lakers!!!!

hmmm.....watching another winning game by the Lakers AND then going to Tom's after to get a fish?!...maybe a royal gamma would be an appropriate fish to get since it's yellow and purple....that's mighty tempting lol

I think you have this backwards.
Lebron simply does not have a supporting cast like Kobe does. Besides Kobe, the Lakers have another all star in Gasol, and borderline all star Odom and many other role players like Bynum, Ariza, Fisher, Farmer, etc.
After James, the talent level really drops off considerably for Cleveland. Granted Mo Williams was an all star this year, but he wasn't deemed worthy enough by the coaches and only got a spot due to injuries.
Cleveland as a team reminds me of the Lakers before Gasol came onboard. James carries the load but he doesn't have a legitimate partner/# 2 guy to go to if he's doubled/tripled.
Back on topic: Orlando wins game 3, Lakers take series in 6.

I agree. Lebron doesn't have any good players around him and what they were able to achieve this year has been incredible. However, I'm tired of the Lebron is better than Kobe talk. If you go on stats, then yes. But if we're talking about individual stuff (like outside shot, clutch player, free throw shooting, and desire to win), then give me Kobe all the way. No doubt Lebron will be the best player in a few years, but until he has a title to his name... there's no contest who's the best in the league.
There was a poll for the GM's in the league that asked who they'd want to take the last shot of the game and 85% of them picked Kobe. The other 15% were split evenly over Lebron, Billups, and Ray Ray. Another poll asked the players around the league who they regarded as the best player, 90% picked Kobe. And these are people who are in the business, looking at talent, and playing against both Kobe & Lebron.

with orlando blowing a golden opportunity like that last night, I have to agree
When Orlando was playing Cleveland, you saw Lebron do his thing, but it never got me too worried as a Magic fan. It was always a run when it didnt matter much, or you knew he wouldnt totally take advantage (except game 5). Playing the Lakers, its clear who the best player in the league is. Any time Kobe hits a shot, I think in my head "God, dont let him go on a quick 10-0 run".
People just like to have players to compare, and like to have the debate as far as who the best player is. Its the same reason MJ didnt win the MVP EVERY year he was playing, because we all know he was the most valuably player on any team. People like having that debate, or like picking someone else to be on top. Another thing is Lebron is a real likable guy, and Kobe is a DB who gives himself his own nicknames.

Kobe can call himself whatever he likes in my book...black mamba...sugar muffin....show stopper....sexy man beast...whatever he's tagged himself is alright with me lol! No but seriously, I think Kobe,Lebron,and all the other "shining stars" in this league all have individual talents and qualities that make each of them unique in their own right. But Kobe and Lebron are just a little more shinier than the rest if them. Just my biased opinion once again lol, but Kobe is the best overall player in the world!!!
