however, i'm not ready to put kobe in the league with other great players that choked in the big moments (karl malone, ewing, etc) because i still think he has chances left to win a ring.

Also, IMO, I agree Kobe's got a chance to win more rings. And its not like he was a bench player on those Shaq-led championships. He's had many singular winning moments throughout his career.

i think most here agree that kobe still had talent around him. but they just weren't tough enough and couldn't play any defense.

that's no excuse for their horrible play...but it should be obvious that EVERY player even the towel boy has to step up their game in the NBA FINALS!!!!
even the celtic bench stepped it up cheering..whether they're losing or winning they are always off their seat supporting their team...
the lakers on the other hand are content sitting down and giving golf claps...

oh and a announcer made a great point in game 5 where someone blew by farmar and he was content with side stepping the player and giving a weak foul where as the celtics would put their body on the line and take the charge or get the blocking foul...
that's something the lakers have to think about doing..getting tougher on D...non of this side stepping crap or getting blown by by old man ray (i like ray btw)

yea i thought that was a good point too.
as cliche as it is, defense wins.
during the bulls' run, watching scottie pippen play defense was a joy. the way he battled magic to taking charge after charge from the jazz.

gasol is clearly the #2.
and if they can add a consistent shooter and some tough, defensive players like a james posey, they'll be even scarier. farmar has looked promising, and his continued development will be crucial.
the lakers aren't done unless their payroll situation is bad. (i dunno what it's like.) otherwise, if they can add depth, they should still be front runners in the west next season.
as for the east, i think boston's still the favorite.
who knows what's going to happen in detroit now. cleveland still needs another star to help out lebron. maybe orlando. chicago looks to be regressing. washington? eh. atlanta? not yet.

Jordan was often smothered but he still came through (by dishing the ball) or found a way to drive to the net...

Whereas, Dominique Bryant...dishes when the score is 10,000 to nothing against the Lakers and when has thrown up about 57 airballs...and realizes, "Hmmm...I have teammates?!?"

Crying on every call is such a European soccer thing. Every player cries about calls, but Gasol and Sasha are very "Euro" about it. Palms up, "why me" look.
I can't see the video at work, unfortunately.

I have the MJ Dynasty DVDs and watch them from time to time.
Teams try to double/triple team Jordan, but it doesn't work because:
1.) Jordan actually plays team basketball, and quickly makes a great pass to an open teammate,
or
2.) He's so damn good that he still finds a way to score.
Whereas Kobe gets double/triple teamed, and he attempts a highly contested fade-away jumper, or makes a horrible, last second, desperation pass in mid-air when he realizes his shot is probably going airball.
I know much was made about Kobe becoming a team player this year, and I even gave him some props for FINALLY seemingly becoming one.
however, it was all a facade. he never TRULY trusted his teammates. sure, when his team was up by double digits, he trusted them. but, the second there was adversity, the old kobe-chucker came out in full force.
I guess you can't teach an old (hot) dog a new trick.
I really don't understand why Kobe fanatics are so blind to reality. They hate Shaq. they blame Gasol (you know, the guy who played great against the Spurs). they blame Odom, Farmar, Sasha, Phil... but NEVER kobe. it's ridiculous.
have y'all ever noticed that players ALWAYS perform sub-par when they're on Kobe's team.. and play much better after they're traded.
here's a short list of players who played better before and after being with the LA Kobes:
-Payton (even the next year, when even older)
-Glen Rice
-Odom (hasn't gotten better, plays without confidence.. wonder why)
-Rodman
-Horace Grant
-Caron Butler
-Shaq (won a title w/o kobe)
In his 12 years in the league, Kobe has arguably made his teammates better for only a couple months ever (this year, pre-playoffs).
for someone who is supposedly the best player in the planet, that's a travesty.
If I was starting a team, I would much rather have (100% healthy) Wade, Lebron, CP3, Duncan, Pierce...
once again, Kobe = top-5 at best.

You always root for someone who's within grasp of greatness (Kobe Bryant)
But after this finals, it proves he still has a LONG way to go before being Jordan. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this BUT, I think when it's all said and done Lebron will have more rings than kobe, and will be closer to JORDAN.
I mean, he's consistently done MORE with LESS...give LBJ gasol,odom, fisher, and the DYSON and I guarantee he woulda won THIS YEAR. Are you fuckin kiddin me!
