Re: How good is Kobe?
Well, I can't help but add something on this thread. One of the greatest clutch shooter nobody mention is Reggie Miller. Probably even better than MJ was.
On MJ's era, there was Barkley, Ewing, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Karl Malone and some more big guys on there prime that MJ overcome. Jordan probably played 10 to 15 of the NBA's 50 greatest players of all time on there prime. Jordan also was not considered the most dominant player until in the last 3 years of his career before he retired in 1998. He was considered great though before that because Jordan has yet to battle it out with the likes of Barkley, Ewing, Olajuwon, David Robinson, Grant Hill, Kevin Johnson, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Malone, stockton and Reggie Miller on there prime. I failed to mention Mutombo, Drexler, Mark Price and some others I can't remember.
Jordan is (I think) on the top 5 of the NBA's greatest players of all time while Kobe is still working on the top 50. Jordan started on a lossing team and improve it before converting it into a playoff contender team and eventually became a Championship team. Kobe on the other hand started on a already playoff contender team. Kobe's story would have been different if he stayed on Charlotte and improve the team on his own skills. But as long as he is hanging around big Shaq Daddy, he will always have that sidekick tag.
Also, to be considered great has nothing to do with how many championship rings you have in your hands, but rather how you earn your place in the history of the sport. Reggie Miller (for example) has no champioship ring on his hands, but everyone respects him as one of the best players of NBA's history.
Now if only T-mac would join the SA next year and given LA still would retain it's current lineup now, it would be a good matchup. I do beleive, LA would win this year though. ut hey, don't take it from me, I was just expressing my opinion.
