Lol, thanks for continuing to prove my point.

Because I state the obvious....how do you know how he would have played in a game 7 for everything....he probably would play better for sure, but to assume he would when the scenario never came up is absurd....

Well Kobe proved that he is still the best player in the NBA today, and if anyone says LeBron is better well...........how many championships does LeBron have?

Did he? I didn't know that if your team wins a championship that automatically makes you the best player in the game today. Paul Pierce was better than Kobe in '08? Nah.

Well at least we know that Kobe is def no where close to MJ now.

There are around 7 - 10 games where he shot very poorly from the field.

MJ Game 2 of the 1996 finals 9-22 from the floor

MJ game 4 of the 1996 finals 6-19 from the floor

MJ game 6 of the 1996 finals 5-19 from the floor.

1997 series game 3,4 and 6. 1992 game 4..... ext and so forth..

You know why no one remembers those? Cause the bulls won the series, same thing for this game. No one will remember that Kobe was horrible from the field, just that he had 23 points 15 boards and made shots when they mattered most.

This is in no way saying Kobe is better then MJ, cause he's not. Just people tend to forget the bad shooting nights and Kobe having a bad shooting night won't be remembered.

I actually think a lot of people will remember Kobe playing horribly in Game 7.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
