		<description>RK Bayers you are a disgrace to the intellectual journalism. It is one thing to express a personal opinion that has substance and makes sense, but rather you chose this forum to promote your hatred Rush Limbaugh type of garbage against Kobe who in my view was exonerated by the very justice system that you have very oftened bemoaned about. You should be ashamed of your self. You will never come even near where Kobe is. That is financially and not to mention the physical prowess! May be talking trash is the only thing you know. What kind of editors does your paper have anyways to allow this superfluous rubbish on its site.</description>

		<description>Some of you people are real dumb a&amp;ses. 

1) one arguement stated the only reason he is good is because he practice. Dude that is really dumb. to be good at something you must practice. to be great you do extra. if you want to pass the math test you study. dont be a dumb ass all your life 

2) comparing jordan and kobe about the martial affairs is really dumb also. first your married life has nothing to do with the game. also jordan was a habitual cheater. that is why his exwife got half. thus is why he playing basketball with executives to make extra money. 

stop tripping it is a game. it is nothing earth shattering . who cares about a game. i did not even know the nba finals were on. i dont care. i will not get paid if they won or lost.</description>

		<description>There is only 1 truth, regardless of opinions.  To be an icon, it takes more than physical skill.  Ali, Jordan, Montana, Elway, Bird, Russell, Mays, Gretzky, etc etc....has much more than that.  Kobe will never reach that level, where no matter where you are, everyone will applaud your presence.

Jordan was at a Laker game and when the spectators noticed him, the entire Staples Arena applauded him....during active play on the court!!!  The fact that Kobe is China&#039;s favorite athlete is only because Jordan is retired and Lebron is not at his prime yet.  He is still filling the void temporarily.

Anyone can practice an extra few hours a day shooting and increase their shooting %.  Both Jordan and Bird did it and Lebron will do it too.  What makes these 2 stand out from bitch Kobe is the fact they were all known for all around skills that Kobe would be nothing without his extra practice.  Lebron was more exciting in high school than Kobe is now.  Lebron is as dangerous going to the hole in half the time it took Kobe to get there and Lebron is still more dangerous.

Lebron makes the hole even when is there is none, Jordan could always find the hole and by the time defense figured it out, it was too late....if you really pay attention to Kobe....he only drives when he has a clear hole.

Be real...the reason the Lakers won is because for some reason the Cavs support staff (namely, Mo Williams), just shut down come Conference Finals.

Kobe can shoot, but that&#039;s all he can do.  He complains about everything....never have you seen an all-star bitch like Kobe does, even to the man that surpassed Red Auerbach as the greatest coach of all time.

If you are a true sports fan, you will value sportsmanship and integrity of the game as much as the game itself.  The Cavs have it, the Celtics have it, and the Magic are gaining it.  To the EAST!!!

See what would have happened if Gasol got injured.  There would be NO VICTORY in L.A..  Shit...Derek Fisher got them this ring, if you want to be honest.</description>

		<description>Wow. There&#039;s a lot of Kobe/Laker haten&#039; going on. What most of you haters don&#039;t realize, is the fans in Cali really don&#039;t give a %uck how you feel about the Lakers Championship. That&#039;s why over 200,000 fans showed up for the parade. No other team in any sport has ever filled up any stadium or arena for a celebration. Fans were running along side Kobe&#039;s bus chanting, &quot;MVP&quot; from the Staples Center, to the collisium. I went to the last four previous celebrations starting with the Magic Johnson lead team in 1987. There were maybe 20,000 in &#039;87. The Shaq 3peat teams maybe had 50,000 or so. As for those who think the ref&#039;s favored the Lakers? BS! Look at all the physical fouls Houston and Denver got away with. Elbows to the back of the head on box-outs. Tripping cutters to the basket. Throwing players in the stands. Come on. What Playoffs were you haters watching. No one complained when Paul Pierce, err Willis Reed lead Celtics physically man handled the Lakers into a championship last year. Everyone said the Lakers were soft. I guess no one likes it when the kid who gets bullyed, fights back and wins. Scoreboard. Lakers 2009 Champs!</description>

		<description>What a lot of you no basketball knowing,lakers bandwagon riding asses dont know is that kobe wasnt even drafted by the Lakers.He was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets and bitched his way to get traded to the lakers.So once the NBA let him get away with that,then it was on.</description>

		<description>Oh please, Kobe can give a rats ass about anyones opinion.  Kobe redeemed himself from the inappropriate tirade Shaq went on calling Kobe an ass kisser.  Now, I was not rooting for the Laker at all, but you have to admit that the Lakers were mobilized to win.  They had all those perimeter shooters, Ariza, Fisher, Odoms.  Then they had Poaol Gosol in the paint.  Wow!  They won fairly and I ain&#039;t mad at them.  Kobe demonstrated excellent leadership skills and he won.  This championship is Kobe&#039;s to sulk.  What cha got to say now, Shaq? He did it without you.  LOL  I ain&#039;t mad at Kobe.  Ain&#039;t nobody was complaining when Paul the &quot;asshole&quot; Pierce was shooting his chops and taunting and galavanting.</description>

Then they had Poaol Gosol in the paint.  Wow!  They won fairly and I ain&#8217;t mad at them.  Kobe demonstrated excellent leadership skills and he won.  This championship is Kobe&#8217;s to sulk.  What cha got to say now, Shaq? He did it without you.  LOL  I ain&#8217;t mad at Kobe.  Ain&#8217;t nobody was complaining when Paul the &#8220;a*****e&#8221; Pierce was shooting his chops and taunting and galavanting.</p>

		<description>KOBE&#039;S A BITCH, KOBE&#039;S A SNITCH, THE RREFS WERE PAID OFF.

NEITHER OF THESE REFS SHOULD HAVE REF&#039;D A FINAL, BUT TRULY THE FIX WAS IN, VERYTIME THE MAGIC OR DENVER STARTED TO PUT UP POINTS THE REF&#039;S STARTED GOING WHISTLE CRAZY, IF ONE TEAM (THE LAKERS) CAN KNOCK DOWN PEOPLE SLAP WRISTS, SHOOT ELBOWS AND ALL THESE ARE CALLED INCIDENTAL THEN IT SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR BPTH TEAMS, BUT IT CLEARLY WASNT. I AM NOT A FAN OF ANY TEAM IN THE FINALS, BUT I DO LOVE GOOD BASKETBALL, AND THAT WAS NO WHERE NEAR GOOD BASKETBALL. KOBE EVEN TRIED TO DO THE MIKE JORDAN JUMP IN THE AIR MOVE THAT MIKE DID WHEN HE BEAT THE CAALIERS IN THE 80&#039;S, BUT HE COULDN&#039;T PLAYED IN THE EARLY MIKE ERA , BECAUSE KOBE CRIES TOO MUCH, AND NEVER THINKS HE COMMITS A FOUL OR ANYTHING, THATS WHY HE IS CALLED A BITCH...</description>

		<description>Wow...this dude sounds like Paul Pierce:  All bitter and what-not because 24 is king of the city.  He&#039;s redeemed himself, brought the NBA title back to L.A., and even his contemporaries admit that he&#039;s pound-for-pound the best in the league.  Yes, even over LeBronx!  He&#039;s the Most Valuable puppet Nike has to offer.  So eat it, hater!  Kobe Bryant is basking.</description>

		<description>My problem aint with Kobe it&#039;s with Cali cause as long as he wins games and shit people dont care about what he does or says,they just keep kissin his ass like he&#039;s some kind of a god, And to be honest the Magic isnt a good team so it was pretty much a easy win for the Lakers!</description>

		<description>I cannot believe that there are still people out here hating on Kobe Bryant and they don&#039;t even have a legitimate reason.  By legitimate I mean - What the hell did he do to you personally?  If the answer is nothing - then shut the hell up and grown the hell up!  Whether anybody wants to admit it or not they are hating on Kobe because of &quot;breaking the man&#039;s rule&quot; which was bringing up another man&#039;s indiscretions. That&#039;s it! That&#039;s all!  That&#039;s crazy! Every single person on the face of this earth has opened their mouth and said something they wish they could take back. They just didn&#039;t have cameras and microphones in the room at the time. He was young and made a mistake. But what none of you haters can take away from Kobe is this! He&#039;s got skills.  He married his wife BEFORE he had babies (Shaq didn&#039;t, LeBron didn&#039;t need I name more - geez) And what about that Michael Jordan - sleeping around on his wife every year they were married and then finally left for another woman - did ya&#039;ll hate him - hell naw! So zip up the hate!  I love the Lakers for their determination and team work and I love Kobe for having a back strong enough to uphold all of his haters and get the job done.</description>

		<description>Farmar didnt play great, Vujacic didnt, Luke didnt nobody else picked Ariza to be that good when he got traded, Lamar and Pau couldnt win when they were by themselves either. Thats why its called TEAM. I agree Kobe isnt the most charismatic, and he doesn&#039;t have a great storyline, and he has done some hoeish shit, Shaq has ran to the media way more, and he&#039;s more of a media soundbyte, and that did alot of damage to Kobe&#039;s character. But yea with the wife he has and the colorado situation, and the fact that he never got the college experience and never had to really humble himself, Kobe is a polarizing player but great nonetheless u cant take away what he has done personally and teamwise. He needs Magic&#039;s charm on top of that though, and Mike&#039;s ability to gain the respect of his peers and teammates and coaches.</description>

		<description>The rules have changed...defenses are much more open now..not like the old New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons where they were getting away with murder.  Jordan was doubled/triple team on many occasions and didn&#039;t rely on refs calling fouls..Kobe can score at will with these defenses..and when he can&#039;t score..he just drives to get a cheap call so he can add to his point total at the foul line...he can&#039;t break double and triple teams like the greats did in crucial moments.</description>

		<description>People forget that the key players in &quot;Kobe&#039;s&quot; championships were Derek Fisher and Robert Horry.    Kobe is a great scorer, very very talented...but I wouldn&#039;t put him in the same league as Jordan...as a matter of fact, I would get a petition signed to change or remove some letters from Kobe Bryant&#039;s name that he shares with Jordan.</description>

		<description>people are saying kobe is in the top five of all-time greats behind jordan and magic, what about Bird, Pippen (ok maybe not Pippen), Oscar Robinson, David Robinson, Kareem, Hakeem, Barkley, Malone, Malone (yes I know I said that twice), Stockton, and the man that started it all Dr. J, how is kobe above these greats, sure he won four but the lakers are the yankees of the nba, they don&#039;t win championships, they buy them. I guaran-damn-tee you if kobe was on the clippers he wouldn&#039;t win shit or the blazers, or the wizards, or even the knicks for that matter, they went out and picked up Gasol which should tell you he can&#039;t win without a big man, those five, six years after Shaq left the lakers weren&#039;t shit for shits sake, they picked up Gasol and boom... TITLE. so to those people who say kobe is a god look at the facts</description>
