    If Prince and Rip can force Kobe to struggle and settle for shots for THE ENTIRE SERIES, then Pip and MJ could do as much, regardless of any one regular season game.
    Do you not see your logic where you claim pippen will lock him down in his sleep?
    Or do you only see logic when it doesn't help your argument

    I said MJ and Pip could do what was already done by Rip and Prince. If good perimeter defenders can limit Kobe, then all-time great perimeter defenders could do it in their sleep.

    Please explain to me how Kobe cannot best Rip and Prince in the finals, yet is supposed to prevail against two of the best perimeter defenders in NBA history. Oh, right, you have that one game in the regular season...

    Or do you only see logic when it doesn't help your argument
    Oh, right, continue to consider one regular season game as a more significant example for evaluation than an entire 7 game finals series.

    2001 Kobe was vastly superior to the 2004 version.

    Bulls in 6. at Pippen not being able to guard Kobe. Or Mike not being able to guard him. Rodman would irritate Shaq into throwing elbows and getting a T every game.

    So Kobe became a superstar, then regressed, then got good again after Shaq left? That is weird.

    Or maybe 2004 Kobe was clearly injured and suffering mentally because of the rape case? The 03-04 version of Kobe was the worse in the last decade.

    00-01 Kobe
    RS-28.5/5.9/5.0/1.7 on 46%/85%/30%
    PS-29.4/7.4/6.1/1.5 on 47%/82%/32%

    03-04 Kobe
    RS-24.0/5.5/5.1/1.7 on 44%/85%/33%
    PS-24.5/5.5/4.7 on 41%/82%/25%

    00-01 Kobe was far better.

    Two of the most overrated teams of all time, but Bulls will win this because Jordan > Kobe.

    Lakers in 6, who the hell is gonna stop Shaquille? Plus Kobe would definitly get his 22\5\5 against Pippen and Jordan, you guys act like he would have a 7 ppg on 25% FG series.

    2004 shaq was the last shaq prime year and the pistons had no problem mopping him kobe payton malone off the floor.

    MJ was sick with his reworked post game fadeaway. shaq is easy to stop just foul him lk what celtics just did to dhoward today. hacked him. forced him to make free throws. Bulls in 6.

    the entire bulls helping defense is extremely great to stop shaq. kobe would get his 22\5\5 against pippen and Jordan but in low fg% i believe

    the one you posted was a stupid one-sided mix.
    mixes cannot prove anything.
