What happened 2 the GREAT Kobe Jordan in the Finals?

Graycap23 said:

Not Kobe's fault that the media has the obsession to compare every great player to Jordan. Kobe never did that ....never! In fact he asked people to stop doing it because it was absurd to compare him to the best baksetball player ever.

The media is crazy...just this morning Mike and Mike in the morning was making comparison between this Celtics team with the great Celtics teams of the past. Its just crazy. This Celtics was very good and over came a lot but...why is it necessary to draw a conclusion that they should be compared with teams that won multiple championships and over other great teams?

Its the media dude

This is coming from someone who knows Kobe on a small level. This guy is OBSESSED with wanting 2 be GREATER than Jordan. Trust me, in this case, it's NOT just the media.

Graycap23 said:

Whats wrong with that? He wants to better than Jordan.... so what? Whats wrong with wanting to be the best!

You don't think WRs want to be better than Jerry Rice? You don't think it was very emotional for Emmit Smith to break the great Walter Paytons all-time rushign record?

Kobe is not out there making that comparison himself. Hes not a self promoter like a Terell Owens. Sounds like you might have a bit of an axe to grind with the dude. I infact I thought Kobe was very gracious in the loss.

Lol.....no axe. There is a difference between wanting 2 be the best at a particular endeavor and Kobe's Jordan fantasy. 2 different things entirely.

Serious Celtic defense, and soft teamates not stepping up. Gasol & Odom were MIA.

Kobe Bryant is an arrrogant fool, and his chickens have come home to roost, He's from Philly where i 'm from and whenever he comes back here he gets booed. Now when your own hometown boos you, that's bad!

Nothing happened to Kobe other than facing a team that wasn't afraid of him and knew how to defend against him, this exposed the fact that his team mates couldn't hold up their end of the game. And while this current Celtics team is damn good, they would have been blanked by the 72-10 Bulls, any of the 80's version of Laker champions and any of the Bill Russell Celtics.

Celtics!

I sure miss having those Championship parades in Chicago. 2 bad they will never have one again.

Kobe could not do it all by himself, that is what happens. Kobe is great, no doubt. But he is again showing people that, he can't do it all by himself. And can we stop it with the Kobe is arrogant comments, please. Or Kobe is selfish. Or Kobe is cocky....please.

It was quite hysterical,when the Garden crowd could taste
blood Tuesday night,they started chanting "You're not Jordam"
Classic.Now if they had only chanted "Phil's a douchebag"too
