Be Like Mike

And to think a couple of years ago we heard, "Kobe and MJ debate should be closed" "Kobe won't ever touch Magic"

IMO, This is his best statistical WCF postseason to date. 2001 against the Spurs was spectacular too but factor in his injuries and the fact that he's 31 makes it even better.

Damn, times have changed on OTR. I would have expected a lot of hate for Kobe but people are giving him props. Im surprised. Brandon nailed it. He's top 5 easily if he wins number 5 this year.

http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/nba/news/story?id=5199267 Oh Snap. This ish just got real. Too lazy to look up the stats but Odom has always been beastin against the Suns in the playoffs.

BUMP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJT0qTUKGhQ

TNT crew not callin out Barkley. Disappointing.

Damn, so close Shannon

Watch Charles Barkley after the game.. "Kobe's days of scoring 50 are over.."

i hope kobe drops 40 so barkley's fat [expletive] can shut up

ROFL

Shocking.

He crossed up Grant Hill, the knee is fine

Someone take sasha out back to the barn and shoot him. Bleep idiot

Scary part is Kobe doesn't think he's joking.

so which franchise is Shaq gonna destroy next. Orlando's got a bright future, love Dwight so i hope he goes back to Orlando

Looking like the 2009 ECF so far. Cavs steamroll through the first two rounds and get humbled by Orlando. Boston trying do the same.

Im disappointed it took Kobe this long to fire back at the media. Only a bleep moron would think Kobe tanked a game. phil jackson to this day has backed Kobe's play in Game 7.

What a bleeping homer.

Stats with no context should be ignored. FG% doesn't take in account, double teams, and how much time is left on the clock. We've seen Kobe get the ball with 1.2 seconds or less on GW attempts before or his teammates botch a pass forcing him to settle for a low percentage shot. Even MJ, the GOAT wouldn't make those. There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

How far was Barkley's head up MJ's [expletive] when he said this. Barkley is gay for MJ so Im not surprised. John Wooden said a while back "Kobe is the greatest player he's ever seen."

I so wish we had another regular season game with Orlando.

Spot on comparison. Couldn't have said it any better.

Kobe and MJ are 1a and 1b as the clutchest players ever. End of discussion.

Gasol chokes in the clutch again. Grow some cajones.
