JA Adande: "Kobe is the best option for a last-second shot in the history of the NBA"
http://www.espn.go.com/blog/truehoop...bad-situations
Why does this guy have a job ANYWHERE? He's a blatant LAME. He writes for the biggest sports-media organization in the world and he's writing sh*t like this?
He needs to be fired TODAY. Dude post no numbers to support his hyperbole bullsh*t. Nothing. Nada.
You see, this is my #1 problem with Laker fans. They talk big sh*t but never support their premise with hard data. They just talk, and talk, and talk, and talk till the cows come home knowing they can rely on the sheer numbers of their fanbase to drive a certain point even though its not true.
They are clearly the worst fanbase in sports.
And getting back to Adande -- this hack job journalist would get ripped to shreds on ISH.
So why is he employed by ESPN?

Re: JA Adande: "Kobe is the best option for a last-second shot in the history of the NBA"
actually phil said it, but if you need to shoot the messenger fell free....
The most telling statement was made just outside the Laker locker room, where Phil Jackson stood outside waiting for an electric cart to drive him down the tunnel and to his car. I told him Kobe’s shot showed why I’d take Bryant over anyone in the final seconds, even the guy who used to wear No. 23. That caused Jackson to raise his eyebrows. Now maybe with six seconds left, enough time to create a good look, I’d go with Jordan. But with only enough time to take a dribble or two, or to catch and fire, I’d go with the best bad shot-maker ever. Because even when it’s a bad shot, Kobe gives you a good shot at winning.
Jackson processed it all, then said two words that resonated as much as Bryant’s three-pointer: “I agree.”

One pro-Kobe article and he's a Laker homer. Typical.

Doeant matter if its only 'one' pro-Kobe article. He made a proclamation w/o any data to support it.
That's called being a hack.

Read the article Jash, Phil stated that, and this has already been posted.

Very good NBA starter

You have to be very skilled to be able to put up any shot in 1-2 seconds. It takes SKILL. There are better shooters and there are more deadly spot up shooters to end the game on a set play. But with the game on the line and 2 seconds... I'm not sure anyone having been better. Jordan wasn't better in this department. Reggie Miller also was not -- he was a better spot up shooter though. Bird is the only one I think has a legitimate case.
