[kristanfranco]

that awkward moment when d-fish still wears a headband.

[ahmad24lal]

15 points in the 4th qtr. Learn LeBron.

[thug8200]

kobe youngest player in history to make first team all nba dense and first team he was only 21

[thug8200]

best team ever they just annihilated every one in 01 this was the year phil took kobe off his leash

[KQH8]

They did have the best record in the playoffs, but there was no competition in the league after Mike left and you all know it. The Lakers are winners in a washed up league. If that is the success you want, you can have it.

[Disposable5]

@KQH8 you must be one of those one demensional retards stuck in the past 

[KQH8]

@Disposable5 One dimensional yes, retard no. 

[locd2death]

@KQH8 Ummm you must've forgot about the 80s Lakers. 80s Lakers and Celctics, Pistons, Sixers built what is now known as "modern" NBA. Get off MJ's nuttsacks.

[Lakers24pwnz]

@KQH8

Oh please... Right now the competition isn't great... But the early 2000s? Those were the days where the West was STACKED... any team was a contender in the west back then...

[GuyNamedCarl]

@Lakers24pwnz Not many teams from the West get in, but those that do are COMPETITIVE. Hate losing. The East is full of blowouts.

[100spurs]

@Lakers24pwnz 2000-2007 any teams in the playoffs from the West could've won a NBA Championship between those years

[mae25rulz]

wen the guy said congratulations of getting married kobe was like "WTF.. how did this guy know" lol

[madchronic]

Kobe Bryant rapes whoever he wants

[victorlopez007]

damn the crowd was so electric!

[cozzy120]

Is it me just me or were crowds more enthusiastic back in the 90's - early 2000's?

[f86em]

I would love to see MJ with no scottie do something...oh wait he didnt do anything with out him how sad of MJ needing teammates to win.. oh yea its a team sport silly me

and I doubt shaq would get a ring if he didnt have kobe

and since you talking about stats .. Kobe is shooting more jumpers than mj so his % is worse I bet if mj took so many jumpers he would have lower %

mj was awsome and so is kobe and they are the best the league has ever had so stop your crying and moaning and ejoy the game

[1193manbeast]

@f86em Well said

[riverjudephoenix1993]

Shaq y the long face?

cheer up afterall kobe

ended up help win the game.

[Starrysteven]

hahhahahahah o neal

[thug8200]

if you take away kobes first 3 years where he wasnt a starter his numbers are right there with mj 29.1pts 6.1 rbs 5.7ast per game

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

@thug8200 if you take way MJ last two season with he wizards he ave 31.5 pts on 51.5 percent shooting...If Player A is great than Player B you should not have so many excuses...If Kobe did not come on a Team where he played with SHAQ we would only be talking about kobe with 2 rings...Be a smarter basketball fan...

Jordan did more in the playoffs and the reg season than Kobe ever did..

[thug8200]

@MJisKingKobesuckss thats cus he didnt have shaq and kobe road the bench his first 3 years and got 6th man of the year and started in the allstar game

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

@thug8200 Kobe was on the bench is his first two years..He became a starter in his third year bro...

[thug8200]

@MJisKingKobesuckss mj startyed from gate and didnt have and talented team kobe did so he had to wait his number wud be incredible they already are

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

@thug8200 Does not matter we can take Jordan stats away from his last two season and Kobe will cannot hang stats wise...kobe is overrated when comapred with MJ..

Kobe already has more turnovers in 60 less games played than MJ...The lsit goes on

Jordan career in the playoffs bust kobes up just like the reg season...

PER Win shares ETC kobe is not close...

[thug8200]

@MJisKingKobesuckss mj numbers are correct

[AndreRedd1Empire]

@MJisKingKobesuckss who cares kid you do obviously you emotionally connected to Kobe Hey in LA we LOVE YOU HATERS You give us motivation LMFAO

[TheJimjet89]

This is why Kobe is the best...Idk why Shaq got all three of the Finals MVP...Kobe deserved atleast one of the three Finals MVP.

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

@TheJimjet89 That is because SHAQ dominated all three NBA finals...Kobe was the second option

[thug8200]

@MJisKingKobesuckss u sound crazy shaq had the better match up against the weak east centers but against the west it was kobe and more kobe even phil broke down and said that its about match ups

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

@thug8200 Kobes match ups int he finals were nothing special 2001 NBA finals shot 41 percent against primary defender Eric snow...

2009 NBA finals JJ redick and Lee were notrhing special...

While Gasol went up against the front line of the Celts 2010 NBA finals 19 ppg 11 reb 4 ass 4 blocks..Kobe could not manage to shoot over 40 percent against a 35 year old ray allen and tony allen...

[thug8200]

@MJisKingKobesuckss first of all he was hurt so he couldnt use his explosion and gasol got better when the pressure was off but when it was on it was kobe and dfish

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

@thug8200 Thats a stupid statement because there was constant pressure on gasol facing the best part of the celts which is there front line...Lets not make excuses for Kobe...Gasol had to deal with KG Sheed and Big baby and he out played all of them...Numbers do not lie...Gasol PER in the playoffs was 24 higher than any PER in the playoffs Scottie ever had...

[JZ2001JC]

Was Kobe really injured??? EVen Scottie Pippen called him out on the "injury". I remember Game 2 of this series Pippen even took some jabs at Kobe's "injured" spot. And FYI before I get some smack talk back to me about Kobe being better than Pippen in this series, remember Pippen was like 35 yrs old in this series. And FYI I think Kobe is the 3rd greatest player ever (behind MJ and Hakeem).

[coffee468]

@JZ2001JC please scottie pippen of all ppl saying someone's injury is fake? remember some ppl asking if his migraine was really legit back in 90 since when is scottie pippen's accusations mean that's the truth. nobody b4 or since has ever said kobe faked an injury

[JZ2001JC]

@coffee468. It was probably gamesmanship man. But I did find it funny when Pippen took some jabs at Kobe's injured spots in Game 2 lol. And yes Pippen's Migrane's were real back in 90 and no one questioned it. Pippen played through injuries in the 1998 NBA Finals and perofrmed very well. If it weren't for MJ and Kukoc's great play than Pippen may have stole Finals MVP in 1998. And FYI Kobe plays thru injuries Im not questioning his toughness. See this season as he played hurt a lot.

[TonyDLV]

@JZ2001JC

Hakeem?????????

[chiladin]

It's crazy besides the afro and mustache Kobe STILL looks the same as when he first came in the league.lol.He hasn't aged at all.lol.

[TheFuzzynandez]

Injuries do not hurt Kobe, Kobe hurts injuries!!!!

[jgerundo24]

@TheFuzzynandez lol we laker fans should start doing kobe bryant jokes like that. replace chuck norris and use kobe instead ROFL

[mrazimuth026]

yeah my idol!!! go kobe branyt

MVP!!!! in the Philippines

[extremeTimes]

lol. if not for kobe n shaq, portland or sac-town wouldve won 1 each. iverson wouldve won 1, even miller could be gettin 1 too..

[19IndependenVision88]

to the dummies on here that dont know real Basketball Kobe played a Major role Shaq was the center and it reminded ppl of Chamberlain Days

[RobertCast88]

either The Lakers were a very underrated Fast break team or Portland had poor transition defense, Either way, Laker Won....

[ytliang345]

[josemanu46]

I miss the young "Number 8"..... The Number 24 is just amazing.....
