Breakdown Of Kobe's Game 7

[ashbelly]

did kobe play TERRIBLE ? or had a bad shooting game?

Kobe played TERRIBLE basketball defense
he did not hustle
and he was TERRIBLE in one of the most important aspects of winning basketball games (Rebounding)

TERRIBLE ? give me a f*cking break

You obviously never watched Jordan play and witnessed how the media covered up all of his subpar performances.

This. The media loved to shower Jordan with praise.

I wish E$PN shot charts would go back to the MJ days...

Kobe needs no defense here. Does anyone think Gasol or Artest were the key players in this year's title defense? Very good players, to be sure...but c'mon. Duncan had a 10-27 game seven. Jordan had a 15-35 game seven. Bird had a 6-18 game seven. Kareem, for cryingoutloud, had a 2-7 game seven.

Did any of those guys return their rings?

in magic and jordan eras. the internet wasn't widely available so haters will probably be preaching in pubs.. and 100% of the time be punched in the mouth as a result.

now we get these crazed lunatics on suicide watch preaching 24/7 on message boards.

Can you Break down 10-29 FG in Game 4 ??

I didn't even like kobe before I joined these forums.

But the kobe haters on ISH are so bad they've created a bias in me toward kobe since I feel I have to defend him in some of their dumbass posts.

SMH

now they are here (of course) .. MJ stans and other haters: get this

it's possible that he will
-play 60,000 minutes (regular season plus playoffs),
-score 35,000 points (the most by any guard ever),
-play 250-plus playoff games (the record is 244),
-pass 6,000 playoff points (also a record)
-win seven titles .
-lead the Lakers the to be the team with most NBA championship titles.

and If he plays at a high level through his late 30s,
he has a real chance to pass Kareem’s 38,387 points
--------
i don't blame you, even MJ's sons are panicking
A sudden, overpowering terror, often affecting many people at once.

laker/kobe fans ... attacks are going to be worse. get used to it

The Lakers didn't even need Kobe.

They would have gone 82 and 0 without him.

He was more of a detriment than anything.

They should trade him for a new hot dog vendor.

Probably true, they can get a younger wade and that would mean more rings for them.

More Kobe apologism and rationalization. I've never seen a great player need more defending and excuses than Kobe Bryant. Hysterical how every single poor game, poor year or whatever is always conveniently excused and explained away.

That's true. But it's never KOBE making those excuses, it's always his fans. He's definitely an OldSchoolBBall player, a throwback.

I guess you've been staying out of Cavs and Lebron threads for the past two years eh?
