Kobe rules, and I hate his guts. Bastard.

Hating the lakers makes watching kobe and shak a blast. I don't think I've seen more distain between two players in some time.

I look back at the Lakers, Celtics and Pistons of the 80s and 90s and I remember the teams almost like they were families. There were disagreements, but the same kind that occur between siblings.

I watch the lakers today, and I see people that can't stand to be on the same court together, but are willing to give it a go for the team (and paycheck). For some reason, the term "mercenaries" comes to mind.

Kobe's good, but he has a long way to go before he's great. Just like Jordan for the first 5 years of his career. Jordan was not great when he scored 69 points against the Celtics... he was just good. He got great when he learned how to help others score too.

I hope the Lakers win the series. The Mav's owe them some payback for knocking them out of the finals in 1988. 4 secs left in Game 6 and Derek Harper dribbled out the clock thinking Dallas had a 1 pt lead. They were 1 pt behind and in their end of the court. Lakers took that game, then game 7 and series.

Maybe, but he needs lots of improvement on defense. And it's quite something to get that particular aspect of his game up or near his offensive qualities. We'll see...
