Kobe Bryan'ts greatness

Some cats don't see this. If L.A. thought they had to drop either Kobe or Shaq, they made the right decision. How do you keep Shaq at his age & size over a player in their mid to late 20's? And, they probably haven't reached their full potential.

MJ set a rediculous standard. However, Kobe is the closest to being Jordanesque. When you look at MJ's career, it's doubtful Kobe accomplishes the same. MJ set the bar too high, so I don't judge him on an MJ scale.

Out of the 3 NBA Championships, all of the MVP's went to Shaq. This put Kobe 3 in the hole. He's in the hole for the 2006 MVP, as well. Personally, Kobe made Shaq look better. If there were no Kobe, L.A. would not have won that game 7 to Portland in 2000. They would have struggled with Indiana in the Finals.

Kobe is similar to MJ in their ability to get a shot off at will. They both create instant offense. Shaq has to be in postion to create offense. Kobe does it anywhere on the floor. He is the closest to MJ as a threat in the clutch. I've never seen Kobe on the bench, in LA, for fear of being fouled at the end of a game.

Cats only question Kobe because of the MJ comparisons. He perceived as arrogant, or too confidence, or guilty for the stuff which went down with Shaq. MJ was questioned until no one could deny he was the greatest. The same happens with Kobe.
