Basketball - March 2007

I keep hearing this debate weather Kobe is better than Jordan, but Kobe is living in an offensive geared NBA. How would he fair against the old Detroit Pistons who created the Jordan Rules. Alot of people forget how physical of a game the NBA used to be. Now it hands out flagarant fouls like they are candy for hard fouls that would have never drawn any attention back then. So in my opinion Kobe will never be as good as MJ because he doesn't get the living crap beat out of him every night, but still gets to go to the free throw line from all the touch fouls. If Kobe played in the early 90's I don't think there would even be a comparison between the two.

The mystery man is Shaq with a bunch of different skills.
Check it out:
Lets say Shaq had:

Reggie Miller's 3 point shot
Michael Jordans's clutch shooting
Allen Iverson's speed
Magic Johnson's ball handling skills
Chaucney Billups free throw shooting
Bill Russell's desire to win
Magic Johnson's leadership
Ben Wallace's defense
Rip Hamilton's endurance
Vince Carter's jumping ability
Michael Jordan's athletic ability
Had the ability to carry his team to a 82-0 record & go undefeated in the playoffs
Had the basketball knowledge of Phil Jackson & Pat Riley combined

Do you think Shaq would be better then Michael Jordan if he had all of those skills combined in his 7'1 & 330 lb. frame?

If Shaq was like that I think Michael Jordan would still be better.

You can really go either way one this question and personally it's tough to decide but I don't think either should be fired this year but I do think the Pacers need to stop relying on the draft in the offseason and sign free agents. I am sorry but I am from Indianapolis and the people of Indiana are frustrated with the fact that even with us being the basketball capital of the world we still don't have an NBA Chapionship in this state, it's like one of the Canadien NHL teams not having a NHL Championship, it's just wrong. What do you think?

WHen I am shooting around I am a great shooter I make most of my shots. However when I'm in a game I make under 50% of my shots IDK why. I think it's just because I have less time to set up my shot but how do I work on this

Why do people continously say LeBron doesn't and won't compare to Kobe when he already does. I'm not a Kobe hater but some people act like Kobe is god.

LeBron is the youngest to...

Be selected #1 in the draft
score 30, 40, 50 points in a game
Lead a team in PPG
win ROY award
score 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 and 5,000 points
record a triple double
score 2,000 points in a single season
average 35.7 PPG in first playoff series
and win all-star MVP.

All LeBron can do is get better and he WILL eventually catch Kobe. LeBron would have just as many championships if he was with Shaq, I would even bet he would have more than KObe. The cavs were dead last in the NBA before LeBron and now look at them they built around LeBron and are now 2nd in the east, LeBron is about to win a title without Shaq something D-Wade or KObe haven't done.

So how can you say LeBron can't compare or even be better than Kobe? I don't understand it at all can somebody explain it to me?

I've seen a few questions about who has the best nickname, but what about those who were amazing players and never were given one? These days even mediocre players have them, so I'm assuming it'll have to be someone from the 90's or earlier. My vote goes to John Stockton. Best pure PG ever. All-time leader in assists and steals. Patrick Ewing also comes to mind.

Yesterday, Kobe Bryant dropped 53 (I bet that is his billionth game scoring 50+), while T-Mac only scored 30. What do people have to do to stop this monster? THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING!! The commentator even said that what makes Kobe Bryant better than T-Mac is that he is more dominant than him. KB deserves a nickname.

He's a great player, probably the best in the league all around. But if you watch him he spends half of his time working the referees and complaining about calls, and he continuously is flopping and trying to get calls.

Plus, when he's on the bench, his team is lost because they're so used to not having the ball in thier hands they don't know what to do with themselves.

He's a great player but I can't stand the way he plays.

team shot 88 times. kobe takes half the shots. he doesnt work the offense he is a 1 man show and i i cant wait to see them get served in the playoffs. the reason why you cant compare kobe with jordan is simple. kobe runs his own offense mj ran the triangle. kobe doesnt understand the offense and wont stop begging for the ball. what do you think?
