And Phil knows his chances with Kobe are decreased substantially.

hahaha! speaking of Kobe, Lakers lost to the Clips 110-101, Kobe leading LA with 41pts. Lakes might not make the playoffs.

No Way! Basketball is a team game, Michael kept his team together through his leadership. Kobe destroyed his team with his prima donna attitude.

Kobe was very good the past few years. He's even comparable to MJ IMHO back then. ^_^
But now, he's not showing much. He's not impressing me and other ppl in this world. I personally don't like him. I just respect what he's capable of doing if he's hot and at his prime. He's basically unstoppable if he's like that. That's what he showed the ppl the past years. He has what some broadcasters or commentators call the "torture chamber". When he is positioned to do this on a defender, he basically has multiple moves that he could pull over him. Ah.... I can only remember 3. He can back-up then fade. He can pull up for a J. He can drive past the defender. The defender is at his mercy back then.

Now, he's not that good any more mayb due to the rape cases and etc.
OK lang. Hahahaah
NOTE: In-dept INFO is from my kobe-fanatic brother. Heheheh

Was? He's still an all star right?

Close but no cigar.

He's still # 2 in the league in scoring. I don't see any decline in his performance. Only problem one can see = He's a ball hog, heck Allen Iverson averages more assists.

The Colorado Rape case didn't rob him of his God given abilities, it robbed him of his endorsements and his image. Are we watching the same Kobe Bryant? mmm...

I just respect what he's capable of doing if he's hot and at his prime.

He is still in his prime... and when his hot, he unguardable.

But now, he's not showing much.

How about 40pts agains the Mavs, 41pts againts the Clips (they lost bummer!). # 2 in the league in scoring. 2 straight triple double games. Are you watching the NBA? or playing NBA live?

i agree with ILD...he's actually more dominant statistically than he ever was. i think what you guys are reacting to is the fact that his team is losing, and as good as he is, he isn't someone who makes his teammates better.

actually, that's why Kobe isn't better than MJ - because MJ did make his teammates better. he didn't at the start, when he was scoring 60 and getting bounced out of the playoffs, but he learned. si Kobe baliktad...nag-regress.

Kobe had the perfect scenario with Shaq - a teammate who made everyone better, took pressure off him, and let him be the late-game hero. now, he has triple teams, a ton of shots, and a sofa and tv at home to watch the playoffs.
