Ahh, the old 'rings = greatness'. This does work until someone points out that then Bill Russell is the GOAT, and Horry is better than Jordan as a modern day player...and Satch Sanders is better than both of them! At least West is the equal of LebronBah bah bah, I hate individual stats in sport, Kobe has 5 rings west the 1. End of the day sport is about winning, west is a 6'2 white boy who would be embarrassed by Kobe at 6'6 and 10 times the athleticism. No comparison. Look at this way who would you rather guard?? Kobe, good luck.
Ha ha, no I'm not talking about 'likeability'. I'm talking about the miscellaneous actions, events and traits that make someone 'great' (we're talking about 'greatest' not 'best'...there is a difference in my mind). Whilst I don't 'like' some of the things Kobe has done and said, I think it has affected his 'greatness'. If he doesn't take the airball jump shot against the Jazz as a Rook, if he and Shaq patch things up and win a few more titles, if the Denver event doesn't rail road a whole season...those sort of things cost championships.Ewww. Likeability is a critieria for the greatness of a player? I'm always willing to be educated on the greatness of the players that I've never got to watch, I was born in the 80's so it just wasn't possible to appreciate the different eras. I've read the argument about Kobe missing shots in clutch time a few times before, it doesn't change it for me and besides, you can't talk about that without having a comparison to how many shots Jerry missed
GASP!!!! WASH yo' mouth!!!!Kinda glad I haven't brought up the fact that I don't think Jordan is the greatest...and struggles to make the top 3 in my list!

At least West is the equal of Lebron. And ignoring the comments about race, if it came down to athleticism, Chamberlain beats them all.
Greatness takes into account rings, and athleticism, and stats, and attitude...which is why it is so contentious. I'm not right in my beliefs, others are not wrong in their beliefs
been waiting 3 years for it to happen...Woohoo!!!
Kobe - Lebron Finals is knocking...
Tough lose on and off court today. Thought we would have won today but Kobe wnt back to his old self and shot the ball to much. Kobe then sprained his ankle right at the end and is out indefinately. Was it just me or shouldnt that have been a foul when Kobe hurt himself?? Isnt the defender ment to give u space to land? The defended was right under Kobe when he came down hense Kobe going to ground and hurting his ankle. It the foul was called the 2 FT could have tied the game with only seconds left? Anyway i think the injury is worse for LA than the actual lose. We have a decent run to finish off except for the last 3 but we should still make it providing Kobes injury isnt to bad. Thing Clark needs a rest as he hasnt handled the work long since Gasol went down. Gasol is up and doing shoot arounds and hopefully only a week or 2 away.
Tough times ahead but i think if we can make it into the playoffs and get heallthy then the balls in your court as to how far we can take it.
Official NBA statement says that it was a foul. http://www.nba.com/official/?ls=iref:nbahptsI think that's a tough call to so it was done on purpose.
No athlete would do such a thing, fair solid defense.
Kobe was angry, understandable, but I think in a few days he will retract that statement.
Jones did not target the legs of Kobe.
I think his contribution was huge. He showed leadership by suiting up even though he's injured.Good win with hardly a contribution from Kobe. Back home now, lets hope they can seal 8th place or above!
