A promise he made to his dad and did it after his father was killed to honor him...fukk face
Honestly speaking, that Bulls squad really could have won 8 straight chips.

what does dude smiling have to do with whether his game is fun to watch
Kobe is the most exciting player because he does the most impossible moves and hits the most miraculous shots as evidenced by his game against the Raptors
that was a finish that no one else in the NBA is capable of and in the history of the game maybe only Michael could have done the same
that is why I said he's fun to watch.....not because I care whether he's having fun on the court
so he might be better than Kobe but to me in my opinion, Kobe's the best I've ever seen. Someone better might have come before him and someone better might come after, I'm just glad I lived to see Kobe Bryant play. The man is simply amazing and its gonna be a dark day in the NBA when he retires.
Simply said. A legend.
I didn't read most of this thread (and I won't), but if you thought watching Kobe Bryant play basketball was "fun" then I cry for your childhood/life experiences that shape your idea of merriment.
I doubt Kobe Bryant even has fun playing basketball...he seems quite the surly character. So did Micheal Jordan at times, but at least he looked like he had fun on the court...
I'm nearly 1000 percent sure he isn't the best you've ever seen, because you've been able to see Shaquille O'Neal and Lebron James play at a higher level.
nothing LeBron has done yet makes me think he could take prime Kobe.....he might be more efficient but he's not better.....prime Kobe was outscoring teams by himself
2000 Shaq is the most dominant player I've ever seen but he didn't keep it up. Like a spark he shone brightly for a lil bit but flickered away.
What you call prime Kobe is the same Kobe as always with more field goal attempts on bad teams. His efficiency doesn't change, only his volume. That's why you get the perception he was 'outscoring teams by himself'.
His peak doesn't measure up to Lebron's by any statistical measure.
As far as Shaq, nobody talked about keeping up or longevity. Shaq's peak was undeniably more productive than Kobe's.
