Didnt floyd say he was retiring after oscar, but still fought hatton?

That was another issue with Kobe in that series he was trying to be the man under intense pressure.

The Pistons kind of dared him to do what he did and it was to tough a task for any one player.

Don't forget the Piston had the Shaq stopper Elden Campbell

That is true but Kobe was ass after game 2. It was a whole team thing but to me Kobe seemed to be the one not on the same page.

Kobe was trying to hard to be the man, playing against his high school rival that he always beat probably played a role in that.

The mix just went sour at a very poor time.

ehhhh..... that team was just not meant to win.

maybe malone is cursed.

kobe was the man in the 1st 3 rounds though.



plus you gotta consider the **** case thing.

he was facing trial afterwards.

in the 1st , 2nd round and conf finals he just concentrated on basketball.

maybe in the finals it hit him. "this could be the last time i ever play basketball"

you never know.

it aint just you bro...for me, it will always be Magic


any player that can be deadly at all FIVE positions is special


any player that can come in and win an NBA title in his rookie year is legendary

My man!!! That's the truth all day and night.... If he didn't get the Monster for sure he would have gotten one or two more rings....

You're right you always gotta keep an eye on big shot Bob....

6 foot 10 always behind the 3 point line in crucial situations.



thank god he wasn't dedicated to rebounding.

**** bird dude

bird was gangster.

no one can fuck with bird.

[The Gambler1981]

they should have won 2.

if only they didn't leave horry open.



i called it too.

i was at a baby shower and all the guys was in the garage watching the game.

i told everyone when they called the timeout , they were gonna leave horry open.

**** always happens.

There were still 6 seconds left after Horry hit that shot, Larry Brown needed to come up with something better and we can win that game.

Hard to be mad at the Pistons run though 6 conference finals in a row a title and another appearence in the Finals against one of the dynasties of the era and took it to seven games.

Orlando Magic fans would kill for such a run, not to mention Nuggets and Mavs fans (I will not even bring up Kincks fans).
