Oys bro, you're a fan of the Lakers? Thats the team I despised the most back in da days (when they won the 3peat championships...ironically all my cousins here loved these cats). I failed to find anything worthwhile or good about Shaq's game back then; It was pure physical power! But when it came to Kobe, he has been amongst my faves forever. Who else in the game could ever score so easily like this guy can? Many people say Wilt chamberlain, but the thing is that back during Wilt's era, defense was non-existant...It was totally structured around offense! Also, Wilt was 7 feet 4, which back then was a giant (even in NBA standards), this made it especially easy to postion his play in the post (and 3 seconds were not yet in effect). Today, how many 7 footers you see running around? Even the college game has these giants now. All in all, I'd say that without the rape allegations that took place, Kobe would've surpassed MJ in his hey-day (in terms of fan-fare, endorsement contracts and the whole nine yards). A simple allegation is what it took to bring down one of the greatest players ever...I see the same happeing to Clemens' legacy after the allegations into the HGH and steroid use. Even if the Rocket is exonerated of the charges, the tarnish still remains!
