the only difference between kobe and t-mac is kobe's killer instinct, maybe t-mac will develop it, maybe not, i'm assuming mcgrady avoids coeds from colorado too
Yeah Kobe's killer instinct isn't winning this game is it? Tmac is a team player period. He's not trying to prove anything to anybody. His team is winning, that's what basketball is all about. Kobe on the other hand... all he does is chunk shots and foul.
It just depends on what type of player you like. Kobe didn't quit in the end and when the Rockets got in foul trouble he kept attacking (actually kept driving to get us in foul trouble). He is super aggressive and always on the attack...ultimate scorer. T-Mac also showed why he is so good in the final possession....Kobe would have took that shot while T-Mac found the open man. I'm just happy that T-Mac seems to be spry...going for dunks, etc...
I completely agree with your first three sentences. The last one is a result of circumstance. How many shots would T-Mac take on that terrible Lakers team? Kobe is awesome, but I'm a much bigger fan of T-Mac's. McGrady's greatness will be shown this season - note my sig.
Kobe is so much more mobile than T-Mac....sorry to say but T-Mac has taken a big step back in his game, he's not as dominant as he used to be...he relies on his jump shot too much. I think we are lacking a guy who’s going to be willing to take is to the hole with authority…. a slasher. However given time I think this team can make it work……I’m not giving up hope after one game. If we playing like this 15 games into the season, then hell we got a problem.
Haha, it's such a dumb question. Lakers with Kobe has NEVER WON a single game over the Rockets with TMAC in the recent two years, even under the huge help of referees ! Kobe is such a loser and whinning boy! History will prove he is nothing without Shaq!
Very nice. Kobe was whining his way through the game, arguing EVERY SINGLE CALL that didn't go his way. Ridiculous.
He wouldn't have taken 32 shots and 28 ft's Tmac would've got his teammates involved in those moments Kobe was clearly ignoring them. Suffice to say im sure they aren't happy tonight about that, and the game film will reveal much selfishness. That's the difference between the two. Kobe concentrates on HIMSELF, while Tmac does what it takes to win WITH HIS TEAM.
i agree i also think we need a slasher. i would LOVE Jerry Stackhouse or James Posey on this team...someone who can hit the 3 yet get to the rim.
Having a better team does not mean tmac is a better team player. Kobe won 3 championships with Shaq even tho he disliked shaq. What do you call of that? Kobe's team is just a bunch of scrubs, same situation when tmac was in Orlando and demanded for a trade. Kobe is doing the exact same thing now. Tmac chucks up just as much shots as kobe and does not drive in nearly as much and has no killer instinct that I can see of.
Tmac is a better team player. SHAQ won those 3 rings kid, get a clue as to why he was the 3 time finals MVP. He was the teams best player and most dominant big man in the league in his prime. Tmac never took 32 45 and 37 shots on a nightly basis in ORL and he still never had a player on the level of an Odom or even a Walton. He didn't demand a trade either, John Weisbrod didn't want him there anymore, but you know it all you can be a Kobe apologist all night if you want to. All I know is, the last play Tmac passed to his teammate for the win Kobe tried to chuck up another shot and left the court whining.
