Who did Obama pick to win it all in the NCAA? I forget....

I know where you are headed. Yes, he picked UNC. He did get 3 of the Final Four wrong though. Not a good omen.

Final Four? lol.

who cares. The only thing that matters is the Final One.

And he picked UNC!

Will Jungle Karma come back to bless the Lakers?

Kobe defended LBJ's immature behavior, which I thought was a classy thing to do.

Incidentally, nice move by Lebron....play the medical/injury card this week to deflect some of this negative press he is getting. Not sure the ploy was successful, but it was an interesting PR move, nonetheless.

Your insecurities are starting to shine thru. The LeBron hate card is getting old. Especially a VC comparison. He is going to get the mid range game. Look at how his outside game has improved since coming into the game. He couldn't hit an open shot, let alone a fade away. He is making both of those now.

I was expecting to see some amazing plays from that video. I break it down like the following:

10. Against Jared Jack. 'Nuff said
9,8 & 6. Dunks, similar to LeBron, just not the same lift
7. Nasty. I remember watching that game and rewinding the DVR multiple times.
5. Block from behind. Please note comments from 9,8 & 6
4. Good move. Would be a great move but it made me think of Eric Armstrong and his weak ass game.
3. The behind the back dribble to the "Kobe-split" to behind the back pass. Awesome. The only thing that would be better if he had passed to Ariza for an impressive dunk, instead he had the Caveman.
2. Nasty
1. Weak, at least for a #1 pick for a highlight video

4. Is just good? That was a huge play in a huge playoff game.

When is LeBrominquesanity going to develop the mid range game? People forget he's not the teen sensation anymore. He's mid 20's with 6 years in the league now.

Take away his points in the paint and he's a woeful shooter. He's not even average from 3 point land. He scores a few more points per game and collects an extra board or two and dishes and extra assist or two than Vince. That comparison hit too close didn't it? Imagine if Vince were a bit stronger and bigger in his prime. Could you distinguish the two on the offensive end? Bron has much better court vision there's no question. He can make passes that Vince could only dream of. But as far as their offensive skills, they have the same repertoire.

Shaq clarifies things last night....Laker Haters lose another bullet:

What kobe said to magic is true, I wouldn't of won it without him fish and robert horry, and b shaw and fox and everybody dynasty baby

then earlier today, he tweets:

"thats right i am saying it today and today only, i want kobe bryant to get number 4, spread da word."

It is good to see all the cosmic forces aligning. Eventually, Truth prevails.

I think it has more to do with you realizing that KB24 has been replaced as the premier player in the league. His reign is over. It is time for the King to be appointed.

Just a few stats to chew on...

Vince Carter in his 6th year in the league:
22.5 ppg, .41 fg%, .38 3 pt%, 4.8 rpg, 4.8 apg, 1.2 stl, .9 blk, 3 to

LeBron in his 6th year in the league:
28.4 ppg, .48 fg%, .34 3 pt%, 7.6 rpg, 7.2 apg, 1.7 stl, 1.1 blk, 2.98 to

More than a few points per, more than a rebound or two, more than a dime or two. I have a better comparison to Vince, just for you:

Kobe Bryant in his sixth year in the league:
25.2 ppg, .46 fg%, .25 3pt%, 5.5 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.5 stl, .4 blk, 2.9 to

That comparison hit too close didn't it?

So, in their 6th year, Kobe was 3 ppg, 2 rpg and 2 apg away from LeBron - so, about a Roko Ukic difference between the two.

Interestingly, on the 3 pt %, Kobe .305 on 3's the year before, and .383 the year after. Also, the next year, he averaged 6.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game.

By the way, Kobe's 6th year saw him earn his 3rd championship ring. And, he had to share the ball with the most dominant center in the league.

And don't forget, it was Kobe's late-game heroics that made the difference for the Lakers in the conference finals and the NBA finals that year.

How did LeBron do in that regard in his 6th NBA season?

And Shaq just admitted today that there is no way he would have won those rings without Kobe. This is turning out to be a great season for the Lakers!

But Shaq didn't need Kobe in Miami.

Shaq > Kobe

[TripletDaddy]

Shaq is bigger than Kobe, I don't think anyone will deny that. That is one of the reasons the Lakers got rid of him. And Miami, too.

Surfah was making it a point to compare stats. Not rings. That seems to be the go to w/you Laker Fans. It is almost as if it is the only bullet in your gun. I am not, nor have I ever, denied the vital role that Kobe played in the championships.

Quick question though, when you play with the most dominate center in the game, how do you only manage 25% from the 3? I would have to make an arguement that LBJ would be able to manage better from the outside. As he has never shot that bad from behind the arc.
