When Kobe can defend Dirk like T mac did, you let me know. When Kobe can drop 13 in 35 seconds, you let me know


Come on man, I could care less for Kobe or TMac but if you're going to try and convince Kobe stans he isn't god those are the best stats you could fine?

Kobe's 81 points
Kobe's 5 chips
His string of 40 point games.

I don't care for the counter argument, just wanted to show it's futile to try and sway fans, or for anyone to take you seriously when that's what you suggest
 
Some thoughts on Heat-Pacers Game 3.

Vogel's arrogance and stubbornness to stick to his glorified defensive schemes cost them the game. He repeatedly put his smaller guards on an island against LeBron James and paid dearly for it in the post. As a bonus for the Heat, LeBron constantly posting up wore down the guards and caused them to have subpar shooting and scoring games as well. If Vogel is going to continue to do this, he should just put Lance on LeBron and hope that Lance can body up and be a stronger deterrent (not likely). OR, he can just adjust and send a quick double baseline to get the ball out of his hands. Of course you give up an open 3, but in some cases that might not be a bad thing if LeBron is wearing people down and getting and 1 fouls. At the very least it gives him a different defensive look.

Lastly, I was surprised that the Heat were able to pull away like they did. Probably the best they have played the entire playoffs. I suspect in order to close them out, the Heat will have to at times have LeBron himself front and defend Hibbert.

Put Tmac with Shaq or Prime Gasol and Odom and I'm sure he'd have 5 rings

um if his back and various injuries would permit him to play enough to win 5 rings. We could say this about a plethra of players (especially allstar h.o.fers)...hell if iverson was on the lakers he could have won...Hell if insert any player was on a championship team they could of won.

True. But I just like to let ppl know that Prime Mcgrady was better than Prime Kobe. Sure Kobe has more championships and other rewards, but T mac was great.

You aren't letting people know anything though LOL. It's just your opinion in a sea of many other opinions. However, we can agree that T-Mac WAS great though. Past tense

Its not an opinion.  Anyone who has watched basketball for the past 10 years will name T mac as the second best SG
 

though a couple inches shorter, Lance is 15 pounds heavier than George and might offer a stronger deterrence to LeBron getting to his spot. You are right though, Bron is too big regardless of who they put on him. But if they put Lance on him, George would be able to expend more energy on the offensive end.

You clearly said that from 01-07 T-Mac was better than Kobe. That's an opinion. Now you're saying that most people would name him the SECOND best SG after who? Kobe? If so, that would mean I was correct all along right? I clearly said T-Mac was on par with Kobe just not better. You just like to talk I see.

True. But if you got HAslem scoring 10 +. you will lose regardless
 
Kobe was consisting finishing higher in the MVP vote and earning all NBA first team selections during TMac's prime.
 
tmac was a great player in his prime but he couldnt even get passed the first round

And his teams had a 3 -1 lead and a 2 - 0 lead in 2 of those series. TMac is the most loved underachiever on NT, I swear. :lol



Dude one of the most explosive scorers that league has ever seen for about 5 years but him and Vince Carter are in the category.
