Lol it would count as much as his first 3.. he will never have the Finals MVP's to back up his rings like Jordan does
if the lakers win the championship, watch half of the kobe homers will suicide and half will find a way to vote kobe as finals mvp
Dwightmare is what keeps the Lakers running, they don't even need Kobe at this point, they have an inside outside post game. He's a rebounding + shotblocking machine. The offense and defense is running through him now, and even Tim Duncan couldn't contain him because OMG ... Dwight was making his FT's.
Even if a player shoots 50 percent from the line, them going to the line is still a good shot. Statistics show that offenses have a much harder time scoring when they have to inbound after a made freethrow for some reason.
Man now people are playing Devil's advocate to only shooting 50% from FT line lol what will I see next?
True, the East didn't have that Lakers/Spurs level contender. Still, "didn't win squat"? That Nets team had less talent than CP3 Hornets. They had no business getting to the finals twice in a row and even making it somewhat competitive vs. the Spurs. They couldn't even make the playoffs in the East before Kidd. I wouldn't expect any point guard of today to do better with that team.
the reffing was pretty clean, a cpl ticky touch each way, don't think they even caused a free throw from a bad call in the whole game, and noone was in foul trouble so it had as close to zero impact as you can get. The lakers just rained 3's in the 4th and everyone but the Duncan on the spurs played like garbage.
It just seemed to happen that without Kobe and without the reffing, the lakers beat a contender...how can that be....
According to some posters at lakersground, it was b/c Kobe gave them a pep talk at halftime and motivated them...
Lakers ball movement looked MUCH better tonight. Dwight felt a lot more comfortable, the only numbnut was Pau Gasol who doesn't seem to have a pair. This Lakers team is pretty scary and could upset someone...
perhaps because even without Kobe lakers are a true contender... how can any team with 3 HOFs not be a contender as well....now that Kobe and his egotistic ways are out of the way they are more contenders than ever...
he called Gasol over Garry Vitti's phone and told him to keep shooting even though he shot like **** tonight
gasol is such a b****. I swear. You'd think being in the league this long you wouldn't have to have someone to tell you that. Needs to learn a thing or two from marc.
