Who is announcing the game? We could get some comparisons to Jordan's heroics in Utah with the flu. You know, the flu that Van Gundy says was so exaggerated. Simmons already described Kobe's playoff commercial: Stage 5: "I'm going to pretend to be Michael Jordan to the point that you will feel creepy." (Best example: Kobe's game-winner against the Suns in 2006 that recently made the slew of cool playoff commercials. We haven't seen an imitation that uncomfortable since Jennifer Jason Leigh got Bridget Fonda's haircut in "Single White Female.") link
kobe's just using sore throat as an excuse to skip practice, but surely he will be at the game. remember allen averson? "it's just practice, practice, practice ......"
sore throat?? hahaha good one. His medicine to cure that... Ron Artest. Breaking News... Battier said Kobe is the leagues best closer? should we trash him for not saying someone on the Rockets?? Like guys trashed McGrady for picking the Lakers to win it all
Wow. Did you see Jordan play? I can't believe there are people who seriously believe that. Bryant is a great player and a future Hall of Famer, but he is also no Michael Jordan.
Maybe feeling under the weather because his team was struggling to beat a horrible team. Toronto is horrible but it was done. His 81 is in the books but I don't care. The Raptors are horrible. Tell Kobe to score 81 against a team thats decent.
Kobe is better than Michael Jordan, Jordan has never had to deal with Zone defense and todays perimeter defenders are bigger, stronger and overall better.. Kobe would kill John Starks in the post.
Tell Wilt to score 100 on a decent team... Kobe's team was horrible as well, and didn't Kobe score 62 points in 3quarters against the Dallas Mavericks (who went to the finals that season) aswell? Kobe only had 58pts going to the 4th quarter against the Raptors. Quit hating.
Yes... but seriously, why do you folks have to compare Kobe to arguably the greatest player of all-time just to belittle him?
