People who say "Kobe isn't MJ"..such a ridiculous discussion. NO ONE is Jordan. Kobe still a top-10 player. I thought the game was fantastic, such incredible energy and oppressive D by both sides.

And their fans. Kobe creeps closer to Kareem and MJ for six titles but L.A. also survived him having a poor night shooting the ball. Hey, thing about MJ is, he won six titles, and six Finals MVP. Kobe is now at 5, with two MVPS. Okay, so he's not Michael. That's no sin. He's the best player post-Mike though. Remember when the NBA was looking for "the Next MJ" and how guys like Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway were unfairly burdened with those expectations? Well, Kobe is one the one guy who wanted those comparisons and if he hasn't reached MJ's level well, that's like saying Pujols isn't Ted Williams. (And I wonder if MJ was ever guarded as fiercely, even against the Knicks, as Kobe was in this series.) Five rings. One more than Shaq. He's the greatest player of the Post-Jordan Era, even though he had a relative stinker last night. Gasol is the man. It was going to be an awful, awful, never-forget loss for whichever team lost.

Lakers got 23 offensive boards yesterday including a crucial one with 27 seconds left. Perkins could have kept Gasol off the boards better than an undersized Davis or a rapidly aging Garnett.

I had been rooting for Boston mostly because I generally like their roster and I really can’t bring myself to root for Kobe and Phil (the GF was pulling for LA solely because of the Kardashian connection, I wish I was making this up). The game played out exactly as I thought it would except for the fact that Kobe was kinda non-descript. Not great, not bad, just so-so. If that had been the case and they lost then forget it as far as reaction goes, but they won so it’ll just be a footnote. I kinda felt for the Celtics as they had to know that this was the last hurrah for their main guys, gotta be a tough feeling knowing that theres pretty much no way you’re gonna get back next year. Anyways, the real basketball season in NYC begins TODAY…go out and get him Donnie. The 40 Side of Vernon Posse
