"The Kobe That We Used To Know"

Now and then I think of when you were much younger.
You had a fro and said that Jordan should respect your game.
With Shaq you won rings 1, 2, 3,
But you didn't like his company.
You shipped him out and that's an ache we all remember.

You can get addicted to a certain kind of winning.
Like resignation to a 6th ring. Always that ring.
So when the triangle came to an end
Well you said that you would win again.
But you admitted you would carry the team on your shoulders.

But you didn't have to take that shot.
Just drive the lane and dump it off to either Pau or Bynum.
Those two guys are really tall
And when you keep it for yourself we never score enough.

You didn't have to hog the ball.
You're triple teamed so kick it out to either Blake or Sessions.
I know that they don't shoot so well,
But you're really not the Kobe that we used to know.

Now and then I think of all the shots right at the buzzer.
Always keeping me believing that it might go in.
But I don't want to lose that way.
Hoisting shots from very far away.
You said that you could share the ball,
And we wouldn't catch you clinging to the Kobe that we used to know.

Magic Johnson - 5 rings, 3 regular season MVPs, all-time leader in APG at 11.2. Kareem Abdul Jabbar - 6 rings, 6 regular season MVPs, NBA's all-time leading scorer. Wilt Chamberlain - 2 rings, 4 regular season MVPs, only player ever to avg 30 ppg and 20 rpg. That's 3 LAKERS that are better than Kobe.He's not even the 2nd best Laker of all time.

Yes and LeBron has three more regular season MVP awards than Kobe since then. I'd rather have 4 MVPs than one. The MVP means you're the best player in the league and if you've had 4, it means you're better than someone who only won 1.

He is 3rd behind Durant and Lebron.

Something funny is now Blake is shooting the lights out!!!

Kobe has been on fire this year! He has definitely taken his game up another level. He should be in the Top 5 for MVP.
Lirica95, at 03/09/2013 05:20, says:
Well since Pippen barely played in the last 3 Finals they were in because of back problems so I think it's safe to say that Jordan would have his 6 regardless.

Thank god kobrick doesn't have to worry about choking again in the playoffs this year
VinmanMJ23, at 02/23/2013 22:41, says:
Who would you put Kobe in front of? He has one MVP and two scoring titles. Shaq has an MVP and scoring title too. Honestly, I would put him fourth on the Lakers all-time list behind Magic, Kareem and Wilt. He would probably be between 10 and 15 on my list. If he was a 50% shooter I'd rank him higher. LeBron has scored more points than Kobe in the last ten years and taken a LOT less shots. Jordan has 60 more 40-point games than Kobe and played in less games. What about Bird and others?

Jordan wouldn't have won 3 rings without Pippen
