This Shirish dude needs to let go of this thread...He's done a 180 degree divergence from what was originally started on this thread.  Hell, start a different thread if you wanna put up pics of the Spurs/Celts game, etc.  I don't even see how the pics were related to the jist of this thread!!  Hey Shirish, OK, the Celts won!  Happy now?  Go frolick along the daffodils, all ya girlie beaners.  Hope your supari sized ego has now been gratified enough that you start posting posts which pertain to the thread topic.

Sleepyspur, Say whatever these Kobe haterz may, the Black Mamba will prove all his haterz wrong this Olympics for sure.  There is not a shade of doubt that this cat is as equally as good as Jordan (sans the supporting cast).  Jordan was futile in all his playoff quests until his 8th NBA season (when he finally had a Bat-Man in his team: Pippen).  Wasn't too long before this Superman added Rodman too during his 2nd 3peat too.  C'mon, give Kobe a free agent this summer ala a "healthy" Ben Wallace and see how the Lakerz terrorize the NBA playoffs in 2009!!  And yeah, the Zen master needs to be sent packing as he's diverted from his ways when he was with the Bulls.  This cat was way more aggressive then, never ever shaved during the playoff (his trademark) and smilingly played 4th fiddle to Superman, Batman and Rodman.  But in today's NBA, he hogs the same limelight as the Black Mamba?  WTF?  Either he mends his ways and stick to startegizing his game that killed opponents (the triangle offense) and SHOWCASING his emotions making his players all hyped/pumped up (like he used to when with the Bulls...The whole Zen thing has corrupted this cat) OR he needs to replaced.
