    Somehow I get the feeling that people are just too sensitive. I don't think TMac would be offended, coz he's confident that he's a great player. He also knows that other top players including Kobe repect his game. So I guess he wouldn't feel hurt about it and claim I don't need help to look great etc. It's an allstar game, without defense, everyone looks pretty good. With some help, you can look even better. I don't see anything wrong with that. I am not sure if TD said the same thing, you guys would bash him so hard. Lots of people hate Kobe, no matter what he does and says, there must be some evil conspiracy behind it. Really, TMac is not that fragile or inferior to anyone, he doesn't need such protection. Kobe didn't do anything to you guys, how many of you know him personally? I don't get it where the hate is from? Just because some girl sued him after having sex with him, and then settled for money? Or maybe there is more jealous? Please.

    Well, Kobe did throw that off the glass alley oop to mcgrady...but if kobe didn't...tmac would have thrown it to himself :D

    Was anyone else electrified by that mcgrady windmill? the guy can not only still dunk with a bad back, but dunk damn well.

    oh and the backwards dunk off the alley oop wasn't so bad either :p

    i only watched the 2nd half but it seemed to me that Kobe was passing the ball to Tmac quite a lot.

    people around here can be pretty negative sometime. Tmac was probably thanking him for getting the extra shots. and here people are saying its insulting to tmac.

    The Kobester was alright tonight. Mac said that was the West teams gameplan to get the home guy the MVP.

    Too bad Avery let Ray Allen and Tony Parker kill the 20 point lead they had.

    Kobe has had no supporting cast right now? Up until late last year that has been TMacs whole career and they dog him because he can't get his team out of the first round. You put him on that Lakers team that won 3 championships I am sure he has the rings as well. I don't want to hear about no supporting cast.

    Kobe is great and there is no denying that but his defense is overrated. Just sit back now and watch his defensive game now. He gambles alot and now with no one behind to have his back his defensive game isn't so strong anymore. With Shaq behind it was easier to apply the pressure on the perimeter because Shaq would clean up a lot of mess.

    Shaq may have not gotten rings without Kobe but he took his teams to the playoffs routinely and he did make the finals once only to be turned away by the best player in the game at that time.

    People that hate Kobe Bryant are kind of sad and ridiculous considering they hate someone they have no personal contact with. I mean I understand hating Hitler, El Duce, Stalin, Karl Malone, etc. but come on now.

    LOL. It's funny seeing Karl Malone together with Hitler and Stalin in the same sentence. :D :eek:

    I don't particularly agree. If I pissed you off, you would hate me too, but you wouldn't have any real personal contact with me. I really hate the off-court Kobe. But I feel like this is a classy move for him to want to do this for TMac.
