And I Ask Why Not Kobe Over MJ????

Well here we go again Kobe vs MJ, Kobe w/o Shaq, Kobe w/ Shaq, Kobe vs Lebron. Kobe is Kobe 4 titles and all.I've heard & read it all about Black Mumba and I'd like to straighten it out. Bare with me your going to need a open mind & know that facts are facts.

First of all does Kobe surpass MJ as the greatest ? Yes  why well one reason & one reason alone he knows he can't do it alone. If you were watching his interviews doing the playoffs he said without Shaq he wouldn't have one, as Shaq wouldn't have won without him, as neither one would of won without Horry or D. Fish's big shots. But Kobe was & is the nucleus of this conversation and without him there's nothing to talk about. And yes I know if 'if' was a fifth we'd all be drunk right now, but the bottom line is while Jordan does have scoring titles out the wazoo, Kobe when he was acting like Mike he scored 50+ in several games last year, including 81 on the Raptors, and if he didn't have confidence in his teammates(past & present) he to would've led the league in scoring for God knows how many years straight . Which shows me that when this guy decides to take over he's going to do just that - TAKE OVER. Adding to his greatness though he's more in tune with the game itself, the x's & o's of it. Watching ' Kobe Doin Work' you have to realize (if you have ever played basketball) that on and off the court he leads. I recall the interview about the Olympics where Lebron said he always wanted to play with the greats of his time(Dwight,Kobe, Kidd, Chris......etc...) and there should be no one that could stop them, which is true. But Kobe on the other hand said ' if you play defense & rebound' no one can beat you as a team. Which shows the mindset that this guy has, its not who you play with, its how you play the game together as a whole. This guy went out and played defense, defended the other teams so call great player, let the other guys show boat and get there rocks off. But we all know deep down that he could've acted a fool at any time, but he chose not to won gold,came back home got MVP of the playoffs and got his fourth title(2 - 3 more coming) with his teammates help.

I know some of you will comment saying that those were Shaq's 3, but I have played ball and know if your teammate clogs the middle up from you driving to the bucket you get to the lane and throw that cat a alley -oop (Portland & Pippen know about it)......I'm out
