NO

overall, it has to be Kobe (from MJ's last retirement)

There's few I'd rather have with the ball in their hands and the game on the line (or during the last 2 minutes, not just for one shot)...plus he's only gotten better as he's gotten older, making better decisions with the ball and not jacking it up all the time (which was the major complaint about his game). I know no one likes to talk about defense, but son's been a 7 time all-defensive selection (5 of them first team).

Please don't want to turn this into a Kobe vs. NBA thread.

my bad, i thought you meant kobe was the best overall since mj retired.

i need to go to sleep.

i need to go to sleep.


I can tell you do because...

i thought you meant kobe was the best overall since mj retired.


When I said:

I can't go to sleep either.

The season is on the line and all you gotta do is make a FREE THROW with no one standing around

Shut the hell up man. Wow you sound like a nice guy. There was no time on the clock and if he made them they go to the tournament, if he misses, he doesn'tgo. Do you even know what kind of pressure that is?

 

[wildkycat]

why does everyone feel bad for Darius Washington when this little cocky mo'fo kept saying it was over before he got to the line? but it's funny witheveryone else "choking." Adam Morrison is "soft" cuz he was crying, yet they had to pick Washington up off the court out of his puddle oftears and y'all feel bad for him?


what about Fred Brown? for those that don't know, he's the Georgetown genius who signed, sealed, and delivered UNC their championship in '82. he's the idiot who passed the ball to James Worthy when they were down by 1 with plenty of time left.

that makes two of UNC's title games that ended with bonehead plays by the other team.

 

[varisoxfan]

I would have felt bad for Washington had he not been so arrogant during his High School years, he thought he was the next big thing. Dude left a year to earlyand couldnt even make it to the NBA, I remember watching some show with him and he was talking about his AIM S/N being NBABOUND something, guess he doesnt usethat one anymore.

Add in pretty much every Cleveland sports moment for choke jobs as well....in all 3 major sports.

 

[nycknicks105]

^^thats one of the reason why i didn't feel so bad for Darius Washington, dude was cocky as hell before even attempting the free throws.

Exactly.

...although I wasn't even born yet...I've seen thegame, and I'd have to believe Sleepy or Ewing woulda scored

word... he was a D1 basketball player, he's supposed to beable to make a damn free throw. he wasnt asked to do something he couldn't do. this guy is acting like it was some unfair task or something.
and on topof that he acted cocky as hell. if you're gonna act like that you better deliver.
