I haven't kept track of the playoffs, but I just noticed that LA got swept. Even when Jordan came back after 2 yrs of baseball in bad condition and wearing #45, it took a monumental effort by Indiana and Reggie Miller to eliminate the Bulls. I hope this closes the door on the BS about Kobe being better than Jordan. Like LeBrick, he can't carry and will a team to victory like Jordan.I wouldn't buy LB23 gear or whatever BS Nike has out there for Kobe either.
Yes the last three seasons have proven you can't build a championship team around Kobe Bryant
no one said they couldn't win with kobe
he can't carry and will a team to victory
Jordan didn't start winning championships until he had great players like Scottie Pippen on his team
Orlando eliminated the Bulls in 95.
yeah, but remember how close that series was... rememebr that "Penny steals the ball from MJ and wins the game" moment...Then you remember Jordan winning 72 games the next year. That team was just beat that year because jordan had no legs, he was like 6 weeks back into a comeback trying to play elite playoff basketball.
Jordan is the greatest of all time.Kobe is in the discussion of who's a distant second.
can you imagine if Jordan had a frontcourt of Gasol/Bynum/Odom? they would not lose a single game
What's not "solid" about that?
jordan couldn't win without him. at least pippin knew life was good when jordan was around. how soon people forget when jordan came back from baseball pippen raised his shoe to the camera and pointed at the air jordan logo on the bottom. FUCK GRANT TOO!
