Kobe article. The best I have ever read.

Victims of hype...

Kobe is a Maserati
Lebron is a Volvo

I agree there is a gap, but a Volvo? c'mon. Lebron is at least a Porshe.

I saw that. A Porsche Cayenne would be an good comparison for Lebron.

Just wow.

Please don't start a flame war here, no hater/groupie nonsense, whatever. Just read the piece. It's really something out of this world. Unbelievable stuff, definitely, I'd say. Greatness. Pulitzer. No doubt. One bit. About it.

Did anyone honestly think that this article was a great piece of literature? Even an above average personality profile?

It reads like a hagiography.

ahahah porsche cayane is actually a damn good example, maybe a really souped up range rover sport edition, or a X5 with NOS.

Volvo

Ah yes...

The 'unnamed scout'... Ever present in pieces that are trying to convey a point without the author actually interjecting his own opinion on the matter. I have a hard time believing there is any professional scout that believes what was printed and, if he/she does, I feel sorry for the team for which he/she is scouting.

But, beyond that ludicrous comparison, there is nothing especially well done about this article. It told me nothing that I hadn't known and the writing was choppy and didn't have a nice flow.



I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.

That was awesome!! I just read the book How to be like Mike, by Pat Williams...it is so close to being about Kobe. I don't care what anyone says, I love Kobe (and my dawg, KG). Those two make the NBA fun to watch. Thanks for the article....that was wicked!!!

[COLOR="Red"]He and Garnett are both head cases. But i guess, that's what makes them great.[/COLOR]

lol there are plenty of people who wrote about mj being bad to his teammate.He wanted them to be better and he yelled at them when they do dumb things, but kobe wanted to be a one man show early in his career. He didnt want the team to be better he wanted himself to be better.Give MJ shaq in his rookie year and he woulded complain.He barked at them when they are not doing there job.Kobe is just learning this concept and is also starting to hang out with his teamates and not be a loner.

Fascinating that you know more about Kobe Bryant than his own coach.

I also like how when Michael Jordan calls Kwame a ****ing ***.got who has no heart it's okay but if Kobe were to criticize a teammate it's because he's selfish and a terrible person.

I love the logic there.

Jeff Van Gundy put it best for me

"When Kobe shoots everyone tells him to pass, when Kobe passes everyone tells him to shoot, it's too bad everyone can't just appreciate what a special player this guy is because he's amazing"

Pippen was awesome. MJ wins 0 titles if Pippen isn't on that team.
