    He should have the rest of his team out there with him.

    I thought I read he was 6'9" in socks...I could see him being close to 6'10" on the court - well a lot closer than most of us.

    He should be. He made some questionable plays and took a couple bad shots in the clutch. He still needs to trust his teammates more in the clutch. Lakers are most dangerous when everyone else is hitting shots and not Kobe shooting 20+ times.

    1. Superior Work Ethic
    2. Superior Heath
    3. Superior Desire to Win
    4. Superior Shoes
    5. MVPs
    6. Championships
    etc.


    ps. Tmac was NEVER better than Kobe. Not even in video games. If you made a World of Warcraft character named Tmac he would get beaten down by one called Kobe.

    T-mac fans have a jealous infatuation that their hero is/was/in their dreams on the same level as Kobe Bryant.

    It's like saying the Gobots are as good as the Transformers.

    Although Tmac has better court vision and passing ability, and at one point a better dunker. But that's about it. I still say in that one year Tmac was equal to Kobe.

    i think this is just to satisfy Kobe's psyche because shooting after a game isn't really going to help you anymore than shooting the next morning, or for the same time before the next game. I'd actually say it's better to shoot before the next game because he can lose his touch from now untl then. Kobe just wants to go to bed knowing his shot is there, which is cool, i guess.

    Strictly for PR or taking shots at Miami for crying last week which is pointless considering it was rumored to be Bosh and Mike Miller.

    If this was a normal Kobe move after a game I could see but nah

    see everybody thinks I'm a kobe fan and i'm not.

    I'm just anti-lebron james. and Kobe just so happens to be the best current example of what Lebron will never be .

    That turn around fading three on the inbounds play was as ill advised as they come (plenty of time on the clock, only down by two) I thought I was watching 19 year old Kobe again.

    What if Luke Walton wanted to shoot after the game?
    GTFO. We want to go home.

    It was a heat check. He throws up ill-advised heat checks all the time.

    1. If Kobe's knee is so f'ed that he can barely practice, what is he doing shooting jumpers for an hour directly after a game?

    2. This is an opportunity to discuss the myth of Kobe's 'clutch-iness'. He's not the first guy you want shooting the ball at the end of the game because he 'has icewater in his veins' or a 'sense of the moment' or some r****ded cliche like that. You want him shooting the ball at the end of games because he's a very skilled player with a great jump shot.

    3. Tracy McGrady's 2002-2003 season was statistically superior to any of Kobe's seasons.

    Kobe could also put up goofy stats on a crappy team
