Lol!!!^
Boston had me worried after half time still. They played some nasty defense but wow did they miss the angry man at the 5 spot. I swear so many offensive rebounds.

I don't want to have to listen to all the commentators going on about how Kobe is the best ever if the Lakers win(he's not, he just gets to play with Gasol while players like LeBron and Chris Paul are stuck with old man Shaq and Peja)MJ is the best ever and he got to play alongside Pippen and Rodman.
Yep, to win six titles, you have to be both really good and lucky when it comes to factors outside your control. Even if you put a peak form MJ on this year's Nets, they would probably only be good enough to make the playoffs and lose in the first round. That's a huge upgrade, but one player can't singlehandedly win a title in basketball.
But, as often is said, history is the propaganda of the victors and that is very true in sports.
In sports, winners are winners because they win and winners win because they are winners. A few weeks from now, no one will remember that Kobe tried his best to shoot his team out of game 7 in the finals, dogged it, and still got the MVP award that I think should have gone to Gasol. Kobe will be seen as a winner. And because he scores the most points and is seen as the top player on his team, he will get the lion's share of the credit regardless of whether he deserves it.
I think missing Perkins may very well have cost the Celtics this title. With him, they probably don't get destroyed on the boards. They just didn't have enough height to match Gasol and Bynum.

Im sure Perkins regrets getting those Ts now, pffft.
Heres a fitting song for a fitting moment ...

This is why I am avoiding ESPN and other sports shows like the plague for the next few weeks. This is all they're gonna talk about: "Kobe is the new basketball god" and "What's next for Kobe?"
But you know what I find funny? Forget Jordan for a second. Kobe will never be Jordan. EVER. Its the fact that now we are gonna hear that Kobe is the greatest Laker of all time. OF ALL TIME. Some of the Laker greats include the logo himself, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul Jabaar, Elgin Baylor, James Worthy and Magic Johnson.
This is just my opinion, but Kobe is not MJ, and he's not the greatest Laker ever. That's Magic Johnson. But this is all that's gonna be talked about before free agency. This is why I needed Boston to win, in order to not hear this garbage. But oh well.
Lebron to the Clippers!

Gasol looks like a lion. :|Gasol looks like he has down syndrome...
To add to Kobe is not MJ. Kobe never ever shot at .539%. Hell, Kobe never shot at .500% in his entire career. MJ is hands down the best player ever still. He's top 3 in the league no doubt. He, Lebron and Wade.
The closest thing right now to a potential MJ is Lebron James anyways shooting (0.503%) this year. And well surpassing MJ in terms of rebounds and assists per game. But then again, he is the #1 guy on a cavs team, and he rarely gets help so his stats might be a bit padded. But we all know what a freak of nature he is.
Btw, Cavs contacted Chris Bosh, and have contact with Lebron. Guess they trying to set something up and retain Lebron.
