Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant The guy is playing so unselfishly, and is making others look better. From watching a majority of today's game, he is actually making Kwame Brown better in every sense of the word. This series he is hustling, passing, and scoring when need. If he played like this all the time, he would be a unanimous Top 10 Player ever. If he can carry this unselfishness into next year, Lakers add some players, he could climb up the charts big timeWhat do you guys think of Kobe's Playoff performance thus far?
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant He' been playing great in the playoffs... it'll be interesting to see if this kind of play carries into the regular season next year. They should try it out, and see how it works out there as well.Props to Kobe...
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant Me too. I still dont know why he's the most hated player in the league.Kobe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nash
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant Wow Kobe Bryant with the game winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!You cant get more clutch than that. He hits the game tying shot to send it into overtime. Then he hits the game winner to win the game and give LA a 3-1 series lead.I am amazed. How can you be more clutch than that?
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant I would say Dirk was more clutch with his 3 point shot to tie the game. The lakers robbed the suns or should I say the refs robbed the suns. Congrats Kobe on a tainted win.
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant Come on Mavs. Kobe hitting that near behind the backboard floater over Boris Diaw, then hitting the jumper at the buzzer was more clutch than Dirk.

With Dirk's shot you still have time, and even if he misses the Mavs are still up 2-1 and have homecourt advantage.
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant On the level of difficulty Dirk's shot was much harder on a fadeaway 3 over a layup and a midrange shot. Dirk also hit some shots in overtime that were clutch.

Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant A layup? You think that was a layup? Did you see that? That was a layup? Dude, that statement took your bias to an entirely new level.

Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant Yeah great game by Kobe. He even had 7 turnovers!But hey a clutch shot takes care of that right?
Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant You realize he got the ball in stride with about 3 seconds left and began taking two steps before Boris Diaw came charging in to block him. He essentially was jumping out of bounds, and threw the ball up with one hand. And we're talking about high percentage shots? All Dirk does is shoot turn-around jumpers. If anything, Kobe's shot was much mroe difficult

If Kobe misses either shot, the series is tied 2-2 and phoenix has homecourt. If Dirk misses, the they are up 2-1 in the series and are still have 2 of the next 4 games at home. Phoenix is also a tougher and better team than Memphis. And remember, i'm a Maverick fan. Another thing, on the difficulty of the shot, Dirk's shot was with like 15 seconds left in the game. if he misses, there is still plenty of time to tie the score and win. Kobe's 2 shots left .7 seconds and 0 seconds left on the clock.Also, i'm not taking anything away from Dirks shot, because both were clutch shots, but Kobe's were harder and "more" clutch in my opinion.

Re: I'm falling in love with Kobe Bryant I'll give this little debate to Kobe...They, along with Bron have clearly been the best players in the playoffs.Kobe did have 2 tough shots...but don't take anything away from Dirk's amazing shot.But the Mavs did have 15 seconds left, so it wasn't as bad if he missed.

Smush was clutch with the steal and the 3 however kobe hit 3 big shots including the gamewinner.You try to discredit everything kobe does, that makes it funnier when he makes you look like an idiot.
