    So you're saying you can't make an observation on Sam's bad play because he was clutch during year's past? C'mon even the announcers mention Sam's poor decisions.

    That's all anyone was saying: in the discussion. I will tell you this: he's definitely going to go down as the "runner up" shooting guard of all-time, behind only Jordan. May be Lebron will have something to say about that one day, but for now it's Kobe's name all alone in that number 2 spot.

    But yes, Jordan is in a class all by himself and his legacy won't be threatened any time soon. That being said, Kobe is the ONLY player in the league today who can legitimately be said to have an outside shot of eventually catching MJ, but he would have to go on one hell of a tear in the next 5 years or so to do it.

    Another thing to keep in mind: Jordan did what he did in 13 seasons...

    but...but...Jordan had Pippen!! LOL

    I agree with you. The media and fans who didn't watch Jordan play are the only ones trying to make the comparison. Comparing the Mamba to MJ is the biggest insult to Jordan's legacy I have ever seen. Even including MJ's geriatric Wizard stats he still kills Kobe in just about every category. I really love how Kobe lovers try to play off all of Jordan's accomplishments by saying "Kobe isn't quite there yet but he's close" when comparing Mike's 6 Championships (and 6 Finals MVPs) with Kobe's 3 Championships (as a side kick with no Finals MVPs). It gets even better when you compare individual accolades.

    Last time I checked getting 3 more Championships wasn't exactly a small task.

    I realize KG sucked at times but why can't you ever criticize Sam?

    Magic Johnson just on ESPN that SAM CASSELL gave them a big lift.

    This coming from the LAKERs HALL OF FAMER.

    JOHN BARRY just mentioned Cassell's EIGHT points.

    its wierd, at least the Yao fans don't go off hating on lovable old Sam.
    At least the Yao fans can come up with some orginal names like .. PRYUEN.
    :D

    That God, Clutch and I never thought of being so unoriginal. we'd be like Hakeem1, Hakeem2, Akeem3,H_A_K_E_E_M

    he hit his first 3 shots then when cold going 1 for 6. I'm not saying he is bad or did bad but he took some low percentage shots at the end which should not have happened.

    I'm not hating on Sam...and those six points were pretty huge in the first half. I think a lot of people reconize that.

    But seriously, Sam's second half defined dumb. You can't deny that.

    I notice everyone who's joined in 2005 or later hate the old Rockets.
    Me and KingCheetah are on the small boat of real Rockets fans.
