I think Kobe's magic knee juice is actually Kobe's magic body juice. Has anyone healed completely from a bone on bone knee condition in their mid-30's and played like a player in their prime? If Kobe is taking something -- sign me up -- I want some too.
You are too young to have watched MJ aren't you. There are a handful of players playing with Kobe, that you could replace Kobe with during his titles, and the Lakers would've still won the title. (Meaning during 2009 season flipping Kobe for 2009 Wade or 2009 Lebron or 2009 whoever). Kobe won because he had the best frontcourt in the NBA almost every year he has been in the NBA. There is MAYBE 1 you could replace Jordan with and they'd still win their titles, and that is Hakeem, and even that I think that is me being a homer more than anything else.
Kobe performs with the heart of a champion because the Buss family treats him and his teammates as champions and human beings.
Not only does Michael have a better career average ppg...he shot a better %.. Kobe missed more shots and still had less points.. MJ scoring titles: 10 Kobe: 1 Here's a visual since you're probably dumb
