I watched the series, watched it live, watched that Bulls team in person during the regular season, so i know some of the arguments that arose at different junctures during that series and the praise given to Rodman, again after specific games.
I just wanted to hear Kobe143 make an argument, instead of blindly agreeing with someone else.
Which is basketball knowledge of the lowest order.
His argument was basically: Because everyone else, including George Karl, said so. Which is an exaggeration. I believe even Kemp got a few votes for FMVP.
I respect opinions, so long as someone is capable of backing it up with their own arguments, instead of latching on to someone else's.
I wanted to hear his breakdown, not anyone else, not even George Karl's (who, mind you, reportedly thought Melo's 37 points on 81% shooting was as impressive as Kobe's 81 points
). I don't know that i would take Karl's word as the authoritative statement on anything.
I just find it interesting that people are willing to agree with anything that fits their beliefs without backing it up in detail, preferably, their own detail. So i was calling him out.
I'm not saying i agree or disagree with the opinion, but if someone is going to make a claim like that, they ought to back it up.
I give Kobe143 a pass, because he's just a kid, but that's no way to go through life. The ability to make an argument counts for a lot.
