You over rate Kobe's talents just because he has hung on to Shaq's coattails and won 3 titles.

I think Kobe will be somewhat disappointing when Shaq retires. We wont see what he is truly capable of, well we will in a way, but it wont be winning titles. That is of course if he doesnt get traded to say SanAntonio. Then the winning will continue. But if we ever see Kobe as the main man on a team, instead of being number 2, then we will see that he is no superstar but more of a Kevin Garnett....a great player but no champion.

Just my opinion.

Shaq on the other hand....a champion if there ever was one.

You don't spend hours talking to guys like Shaq, Magic, Phil Jackson and West (when he was around) and not learn anything.
If the Lakers are to win four straight, then it is going to be because of the growing maturity and added responsibility placed on Kobe.
Kobe will surprise you Jod, I just hope your man enough to see it and to admit you are wrong.

The Clippers did not have Brand, Odom, Olowokandi, Quentin Richardson, Jaric, Wilcox and Dooling thank you very much.

So that's 80% of the starting line-up missing, plus a first-round pick and one of if not the best back-up point guard in the NBA.

Somehow I'd think that adds up to more than Shaq and Fox's combined output, wouldn't you think?

Fair enough mate. I thought Ely went down as well.
I'm convinced the Clips will make the playoffs this year, espeicially with the addition of Dre Miller.
When will Odom get back on the court?

Oh I'll be man enough to except it, but IMO it just wont happen. Kobe Bryant is over rated and if you replaced him with Paul Pierce, Tracey McGrady, Ray Allen, Vince Carter...the result would be the same. Shaq is the key, Kobe is just lucky.

This is what sets Jordan and Kobe apart so much...Kobe is number 2, Jordan was never ever number 2.

Guey, do you have any idea who this Mike Batiste guy is?
Scored 33 points against the Sonics. I know it's only preseason, but is he any chance to make the roster?

Oh, and thanks for taking Cherokee Parks back. :b
