I guess my earlier prediction for the "Crucial Game 6" article was right on the money.  There was just no way Kobe had enough juice in the tank to pull off a win in game six and force a game seven.  Which makes me want to ask, can we put the Michael Jordan comparison to rest?  "Kobe is not Jordan" Nor will he ever be, the disappearing act that he pulled during the NBA Finals can be credited to Boston’s defense but Jordan would have at the very least put up a fight and make the series interesting.  Kobe Bryant was non-existent, I don't even remember a Kobe Bryant highlight during all of the NBA Finals.

 

 

What is even more disturbing is that the Lakers had a 24 point lead during game four and literally watched the Celtics walk away with the win.  Which raises the question, how can Kobe Bryant have allowed that to happen?  Players such as Michael Jordan or most recently Dwayne Wade put their teams on their backs as team MVP's should and carried them to victory.  In my 28 years of existence I have never seen a player get so much raw, raw and fall flat on his face like Kobe did.  If there is one thing that makes since about all of the nonsense that Shaq rapped about recently is that "Kobe couldn't do it without him" and boy I couldn't agree more.

Kobe is not what most of you try to make him out to be, he has flaws in his game and the most obvious flaw is one that both Michael Jordan and Dwayne Wade both have and it's called leadership.  Kobe can only lead his way into adultery but can't lead his team onto victory when it really counts.  You can put up your eighty points during the regular season and show off like he loves to do but when team basketball is needed to be played Kobe doesn’t have the proper instruments to do so.  With that said, let's put the Michael Jordan comparisons to bed.  Kobe will never be what you think he is, all he will ever be is just plain old I...sorry I meant to say Kobe.
