    I suggest you guys check out ESPN Classic. They are showing classic NBA playoff games all day long.So far I watched Timberwolves VS Lakers 2003 First round series and the 1991 NBA Finals. Chicago Bulls VS LA Lakers.I will watch as many as I can today. Its interesting to look back on.So far I gathered Shaq is far from clutch while Kobe is amazingly clutch. He took it coast to coast for a dunk with about 40 seconds left. Then with 17 seconds left he made a jumper while being fouled and made both the shot and the free throw to bring the Lakers to within 2 points.Wow now Kobe is fouled with 12 seconds left and he hits the game tying shot to send it into overtime.Oh yeah. Jordan is the best player in history. That cant be debated.

    I told you guys Kobe was always clutch. Wade will need to do that if the Heat are going to be succesful in the playoffs this year.I wish I had ESPN classic here. I'm in Dallas.

    I wish they showed more Lakers 3 peat stuff, that was all gold.KG was a monster back in the day, most people wouldn't trade him for Shaq. Oh how things change...

    I just finished watching game 4 of Hornets-Celtics. McHales final game. Mourning wins the game and series off a long 2 as time runs out while down 1. What a finish!

    I love how they were doing this, they had some great games on there. That Bulls vs. Bullets game in 97' was awesome. Chris Webber, Calbert Chaney, Juwon Howard, Rod Strickland, and best of all Gheorghe Muresan!!! I loved that team

    After watching Jordan I realize he is worthy of that hype. He is the most explosive player and impossible to stop. Pippen was pretty good also.

    Did anybody wacth the Bullets playoff game besides WTTJ? He had 55 points when I left to go play ball. He was unstoppable. He was double and triple teamed and still scored like it was no problem.

If so, you must have not seen Shaq play this season or Garnett play this season. The last two or three years of KG's career have been his best. I'm not quite sure what you meant by this comment. Care to elborate?
