I apologize SD. I'm just tired of no one giving Kobe any credit, while even though LeBron scores zero points in the 2nd quarter & 4 points in the 4th quarter of the EC finals he still gets all the credit in the world because he carried his team. But Kobe goes out and puts on a show in game 6 versus the Nuggets and moves his team onto the NBA finals and still no credit is shown from LeBron supporters.

No need to apologize, all is cool with me, You should know that.

Look, my issues with Kobe revolve around KOBE! He is too self centered. He has done much better in the last season, but I give that credit to Lebron. Lebron was the STAR of STAR's on the Olympic team. Kobe's self-centered game had to take a back-seat to the natural leadership of Lebron as team USA played as a TEAM! I do believe that Kobe took something away from that experience, and it has helped him. But not to the point of saying he has changed. When he proves he can be a Great Leader, for more than just one year, then I will say so. But for now, Kobe is a great Player. Lebron is on the brink of possibly surpassing MJ, Magic, Bird and Russell as the GREATEST leader of all time! Why do I already put Lebron in that category - his ability to LEAD the Dream Team!
