Why is it that Brad Pitt cheats on his wife and no one cares but Kobe does it and he's scum? It doesn't have anything to do with him being black does it?

who is the best point guard in the NBA

2006-06-25 05:02:33 · 14 answers · asked by top_killer96 1

Kobe was the best thing to happen to the NBA since Shaq. He has amazing physical skills, and IMO is the only person that can even be compared to MJ in terms of outright ability to score at will. If he had shown Shaq more respect and hadn't been caught cheating on his wife, I think he would still be the man. Will his reputation ever recover? Did these things happen because he was so young and inexperienced? Or is he really just an asshole?

Four guys are talking ball in about 1996-97. One suggests that Robert Horry might be as good as Scottie Pippen. He gets ridiculed called nuts and almost outcast from scociety.

As one of the people who thought this was a ridiculous idea at the time, now I'm not sure.

Any ideas on who was better and why?

I personally think that only one guard in the NBA can match Wade and that's Kobe.

(Right now I'd go with Wade, Kobe or Lebron. I'm leaning towards Kobe.)

The NBA doesn't fix games. That's impossible. And stupid. It could never happen. But there are three major problems here. First, Dwyane Wade shot as many free throws (25) as the entire Dallas team in Game 5. I just don't see how there's any way this can happen in a fairly-called game. It's theoretically impossible.
Second, everyone knew the officiating would be a problem heading into this series because of Cuban's past problems with the league. No team depends on the refs quite like the Heat. When the refs are calling all the bumps on Shaq and protecting Wade on every drive, they're unstoppable. When they're calling everything fairly, they're eminently beatable. If they're not getting any calls, they're just about hopeless. The officiating in Game 3 (the last five minutes were just obscene) and Game 5 (again, a top-five debacle) was absolutely atrocious.
Third, here's a theory on referees that was described in a blog last spring:
"I don't think the NBA fixes games, but they have one trick that they use for situations like this -- when they want a home team to win the game, they invariably assign the worst referees possible to that game for two reasons: Bad referees have a tendency to get swayed by the home crowd, and bad referees never have the stones to make a tough call on the road. In a related story, I went to 35 Clippers games this year and kept a list of the referees in my pocket which I also used to follow the referees for any televised games. And yes, the referees in the NBA -- as a whole -- have never been worse. But there were six referees that stuck out as being especially terrible."
Then I went on to list the worst six referees. Here was No. 2 on the list:
"2. Bennett Salvatore -- Always one of the worst, he took it to another level this season. If you see him on the court at the start of the game, get ready for about six technicals, two near-brawls and both coaches having to be restrained by their assistants at various times."
Why is this relevant? Not only did Salvatore officiate Game 4 of the Suns-Lakers series (the one where Kobe tied it at the end of regulation and won it at the end of OT on two shaky non-calls on Nash, both by Salvatore), not only did Salvatore officiate Sunday night's Game 5 (in which Miami had a 40-12 free-throw advantage at one point), but Salvatore called the foul on Wade's final drive in overtime (remember, the call where ABC couldn't find a replay to show that anyone touched him?) even though he was standing at midcourt a full 35-40 feet from the play, and even though two other refs were closer to the play. Not only was that NOT his call, he butchered it.
