Say what you want about Kobe Bryant but the guys is a winner. Every since Shaq won his ring with Mr.Wade and the Miami heat, the heat (no fun intended) has turned up on Kobe to prove he could win without the big man in the middle. Fair or not he had to do it, and he did. By defeating the Orlando Magic 4-1 in the 2009 finals he got his 4th ring while coach Phil Jackson got his 10th! me personally, i am not a Kobe fan at all. But one thing you cant ignore is greatness! for the last 10 years Kobe has been the best player on the planet. Winning gold medals to dropping 81 on the raptors. This LA team from top to bottom was the best roster in the league. Kobe may have had the most help on this team then any other team he had in his career. Bynum, Odom and Gasol scare alot of teams! Kobe has 4 rings and if they keep everything in place they could make a run at 1 or 2 more titles. hopefully a man in Cleveland has something to say about that.......
Kobe's greatness will not be fully realized until he retires. Flat out Kobe is the second greatest guard ever to grace to NBA. The whole thing about winning one without Shaq was totally over stated. The fact is that Shaq never won a ring without an allstar guard. It doesnt take away either one of their greatness. It just speaks of the nature of the game of inside out NBA basketball. Kobe is great, and Lebron James is a distant second...
ReplyDeleteMan Congratulations to Kobe. I agree he has been the best player on the planet. So now he has the monkey off his back about the whole Shaq thing. Great post man keep it up. Hopefully the Cavs make some moves this off season and prevent that 5th ring this season at least.
ReplyDeleteNice post... I'll reserve my thoughts on this though.
