Make no mistake about it: the Los Angeles Lakers still own LA. Lob City is cute and all, but come playoff time, the Clipshow won’t cut it. For the first time in five years, the Lakers will enter the playoffs with expectations that may fall short of an NBA championship. [...]
There’s no denying the athletic talent of LeBron James. But a comparison of “who’s better?” between James and Kobe Bryant requires a higher level of scrutiny than an examination of their athletic abilities or individual statistics. Hell, Phil Jackson once said Dennis Rodman was the most athletic player he’s ever coached.
John Hollinger’s Player Efficiency Rating pissed me off more when it was used to prove LeBron was better than Kobe a few years back.
LeBron James passed Kobe Bryant for the NBA’s highest jersey sales this year, the first time he’s won since his rookie season. AQB wonders what that must mean for the NBA as a whole?
Kobe will always be Kobe. Whether Phil Jackson likes it or not, Kobe is always going to hoist up shots when he decides that the win is slipping from the Lakers’ grasp.
