Now all those people who were comparing Kobe to Jordan will finally shut up.
The Celtics wanted it more and they took it. Better balance, better team.
How my Cavs extended them to 7 when Kobe's Lakers only survived 5 is beyond me

    OK, I'll have a Yebisu Draft, KBS.
    (Just love this result, though I'm only quaffing a Kirin Tanrei at the moment)

      alright, alright, though i'm a traditional sopporo guy, i like yebisu and maltz too, but lately i've been partial to the micro-brews from Kiuchi, like, Hitachino white ale, at the moment myself..
      drink up, KOMPAI !!!

      wouldn't be as fair
      golf is one guy
      Wilt proved eons ago that one man don't equal a championship
      Jordan proved it too. Dropped 63 on the Celts and still lost
      Any team sport its hard to compare, but Kobe doesn't even match up in a flat statistical way with Jordan, let alone the 6 titles and all the other personal accomplishments, so I was getting annoyed with all the Kobe/Jordan comparisons
      As an old Cavs fan, you could say I'm somewhat familiar with Jordan's work
      If I remember correctly, Jordan and the Bulls knocked Cleveland out of the playoffs 5 out of 7 years
      Think about all the great players and teams Jordan kept from winning titles, the Jazz with Malone and Stockton, Portland, Cleveland, the Knicks with Ewing, Indiana with Miller and so on
      I'm convinced the only reason Houston snuck in there is because Jordan wanted to try baseball for awhile.
      anyway, the Celtics played great defense and played with heart, while the Lakers frankly looked confused for half the series

      Jordan had some bad playoff series but he also had Pippen there to make up for it. Whether it was Pippen, Cartwright, Armstrong, Paxson, Kerr or a plethora of other players the Bulls always had someone step up when Jordan was playing bad.

      you forget the biggest piece to the success... Dennis Rodman....
      get 15-20 rebounds.. many offensive .. pass the ball.. and played shut down defense especially on Karl Malone....
      must have been very frustrating and embarrassing.. for Malone to get shut down by a guy who had just been in magazines IN A WEDDING DRESS

      ''Kobe is a great player and if anyone in the NBA is the next Jordan it's him.''
      people forget Kobe's been in the league for over 10 years
      He's stiil at the top of his game, but his time for being the next anything is about done
      He is what he is: a great defender and scorer. The top player in the game. But does he win those three titles without Shaq, perhaps the most dominant center ever[except for Wilt]?
      It wouldn't surprise me if Kobe never even made it back to the Finals again
      I thought the difference in the series was Boston's defense ate Kobe alive except for the Lakers one win, and also the Lakers had no clue on defense on how to deal with the pick n roll, and had matchup probs with Garnett. Garnett had some rough shooting games, or the series wouldn't have even been as close as it was.
      also somehow the injuries for Boston helped them find a winning combination. when Perkins went down they went small, and came back from 24
      Rondo also tore them up off the dribble

    Yep, if I couldn't have the Cavs, who's better than Boston? I sort of noticed at work (PT)that a "certain type" rooted for the Lakers, made me want Boston to win all the more. Way to go and best wishes to all Boston fans.
