Kobe averages 5-8 shots a game from 16-23 feet, the lowest percentage shot in the game. He shoots about 41% on them.
sounds like Dirk Nowitzki to me
once your mind's already made up that just means you're going to react defensively to any evidence to the contrary.

I hate Kobe, but he really is the best of the generation.
I've never cared for who is the best scoring threat. Carmello is the shit when it comes to scoring, but lacks in other facets of the game. I want the best all around player. And not only is Kobe the best of his generation as an all around player, he will probably play at a high level despite getting old and become the best in the LeBron, Wade, and Durant era. Kobe just plays the game, I don't care where he gets his points from, he is the shit as a player.
As others brought up, he has broken records that nobody thought anybody would achieve after Jordan retired. He is the most clutch player of this generation (as playoff time approaches, I think Wade may challenge for this title. He turns it on in the playoffs). Maybe LeBron beats them as he gets into his prime (remember the flawed asshole Kobe was when he was 25 and Shaq left town?), but Kobe should go down as one of the top 10 players ever, maybe top 5.

my good bruvva 3, 4 must be pumped as to how the Miami Heat are playing. on defense, LBJ is reminding us as to how talented he is on the most often over-looked side of the ball in the pros. on offense, it seems that the Heat are embracing their transition game and are actually *gasp* moving around when they have possession of the rock! 3, 4 was correct in that it would take some time for the New Big Three to gel, most especially after their initial onslaught of injuries to start the season
I thought that the Heat would take an early lead, but then would succumb to the Lakers late because lets face it - the Heat bench is nowhere near as magnificent as LA's bench. I also thought that Pau Pau and Bynum would have a field day against the rather soft interior game of Ilgauskus and Bosh. but I was wrong. despite wanting the Hands of the Gods to smite the Staples Center and for both teams to die in a fiery fire, it is fun to watch the Heat reach their potential
mang, I really hate LBJ for him making it impossible for me to root for him. I was a huge LBJ fan (due to his often proud Ohio roots), and I know maybe that you won't believe this; but I was ready to root for LBJ even if he strayed from my beloved yet downtrodden Cleveland Cavaliers. again, hate to beat this dead horse, but just the way he left made it impossible for us passionate Cleveland basketball fans (we don't have to paint our seats to make it look like people are actually attending the games Miami fans) to back him as a player
god dammit Bron Bron. you are a douche bag, but you were my douche bag

"objective studies" disagree with the fact that kobe has achieved feats people thought wernt possible after jordan and wilt retired and some things that even jordan or wilt did not accomplish? hmm strange.
who enjoyed the xmas day games? both the knicks game and the boston game were amazing. Orlando has managed to pull it together days after the trade and string together two vicotories against the teams with the two best records in the nba which is a fucking statement for sure
lakers vs heat: congrats to the heat, when it comes down to it they just played flat out better than the lakers. LA didnt really play with the agression that a champ should and miami did. as I type this the heat are still playing as if its a one point game defending every shot and theyre up 19. meanwhile LA is playing like they are half way to their homes for xmas dinner.
LA succumbed to playing their game, instead of slowing things down and forcing maimi to run offense through the middle. wake up call for the champs and a statement from the heat saying the hype is well deserved.. err some of it

I'm reading about as much into this win over the Lakers as I read into the losses against the Mavs. The game was fun to watch, for sure, and a great Christmas present, but it will not resemble the Finals at all.
The Mavs have owned the Heat regular season, but they will be knocked out of the playoffs early, so they are nothing to worry about.
In the second Heat-Mavs game, the Heat were exhausted from a busy schedule and just didn't have enough left in them to compete in that game (although they played admirably).
It is a similar story with the Lakers. They didn't come out there with their A game. Come Finals time, assuming the Lakers beat the Spurs and the Heat beat the Celtics, we have no idea what to expect. I'm still betting on Heat-Lakers(once again reiterating that the Spurs and Celtics are too old to handle the grind of a full NBA season + playoffs), and I truly have no idea who will win, even based on this game. It was fun to watch, but ultimately, it means nothing in the long run.
Of course, ESPN and other journalists will analyze the shit out of it and say that The Heat are the greatest team ever now, ignoring the circumstances surrounding the respective games. I always try not to buy into that hype, even when it comes to my own teams, because it is over reactionary bullshit. Expect the Finals to be much more competitive than this game.
And I might have to change my mind a bit on The Magic. Gilbert is turning them into a real contender. Although Van Gundy has a track record of choking in the playoffs(the only place in pro b-ball where coaching really matters), as any Miami fan should know.

heat are playing hungry and lakers are playing fat and happy, hungry is the mindset you need to win championships. hopefully that was the wakeup call they needed
I would say i agree with nearly everything in your post to some degree though 3,4
fuck the gilbert thing is definetily showing potential and hedo is sort of getting his legs back. magic just need a backup big and they will be stacked

Is anyone getting tired of seeing Blake Griffin in the highlights night after night???
I'm sure as fuck NOT! This dude is a human highlight reel. It's insane. I don't catch ANY Clippers games so I can't speak for his overall game, but man are his dunks impressive and plentiful. The other day... someone on ESPN said "could Griffin have passed Lebron as the best dunker in the NBA?" Uhhhhh yeah... I mean... Lebron's ONE dunk is cool and all, but Griffin has a fucking arsenal.

I've seen most of his craziest highlights live. It's funny because before this season, I had only seen maybe two Clippers games, and I've been an NBA fan my entire life. Now that they have Griffin, they're televised all the time :D
My favorite Griffin moment was the fastbreak spin move dunk over Danilo Gallinari that they show on commercials all the time, but his throw in drunk thingy over T Mozgov made me shit myself. I've never seen a guy who gets so much air and is that big.
Dude's got a great fadeaway shot too
Ugh, such a frustrating loss. Kobe was chucking like prime AI out there... made 4/5 then continued to stack bricks, not getting his teammates involved at all. Triangle wasn't there, no ball movement, etc. Didn't help when Paula Gasoft showed up yet again, taking stupid jump shots. Our bigs made Dejuan Blair look like a fucking all star. Lakers couldn't even make simple passes or play defense. There is no trust on that court!
Spurs played with poise.
On the positive side, Bynum has played well, sans from the free throw shooting. He's looking better and better each game...

That one 360 dunk he had was pretty sweet, especially when you factor in his size. Nice moves for a big man.

LMAO. The fans really deserve it. I hope the Clippers can one day find a way to win, I really do.
I fucking fell asleep early (hence why I got up at 5 this morning) and missed the Knicks game where Wade scored 40. Goddamnit. Didn't TIVO it or nothing.
