R.Miller was able to give MJ a handful in his prime. KB wasn't even a contest? Trash talking is cheap.
You guys worry too much. When needed, Kidd/Kobe/Prince would play their lockdown defense. No 3 points rain from opponents means USA win.

Kobe shoot 40.2% in finals, LBJ 35.5% in ECSF, enough said.
Yes, I guess Suns and Warriors are most physical teams in the league by playing most fast break. And saying refs didn't call illegal defense...
If it's only pace, then explain me why the fg% drops significantly too. And back to the day, no, although no defensive 3 seconds, if you stay in...
I am not comparing Kobe to MJ. I am comparing the defense they faced. And I don't see how handcheck helped more than zone did. Without zone,...
I just don't see it gets called, particularly in playoff. Pistons used to talk about "Jordan rules". But wasn't it just some sort of borderline...
Yep, I guess if you are fouled all game long, you faced 0 defense according to your criteria. I saw Kobe got clothelined once by Bell. Show me...
What does this mean? So Kobe didn't shoot contest jump shot. Yes, that's call shot selection. Check MJ's 63 games, how many are contested?...
Reality is cold, isn't it? Raptors didn't play any quality defense but they did play box and 1 and double Kobe 20ft or beyond at time. I...
http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2008/0521/nba_g_kbryant1_412.jpg Isn't this a handcheck too? Bowen played like this all series long and Kobe...
What would you prefer, be swarmed in the paint, or 20ft and beyond? Compared what Kobe faced in his 81 pts game, it's not even close. It's...
I never saw TMac played a game like Kobe did in game 5. Kobe smelled blood and he'll kill you all by himself. Tmac had similar opportunity last...
No, it's closer between 94-97.
You know what? Jordan kept taking 2pt jumper in the paint, single coverage. That's as soft defense as you can get....
And 80s' games physical? In 1987, when MJ got 37.1ppg, the league averaged 109.9ppg, .480fg. 3pt fg is .301, ft .763. In 2008, these number are...
In 1987, when MJ got his 37.1 ppg, the league averaged 109.9. In 2006, when Kobe got his 35.4 ppg, the league averaged 97.0. 35.4/97 >...
Come on, Gasol didn't even have 1/2 of AI's fame. And you can argue Gasol is not as good as AI's today.
Without Bynum, Kobe's Lakers have been a 500 team, now replace Kobe with Gasol, and you expect them to make playoff? You can be biased, but then...
