Kobe VS MJ...Really?

LA Boy, I recommend you go back and watch all the Finals series Magic played in. I think you might change your opinion of Magic then.

Hustle, thanks for the comparisons. I don't see it as so much as a player by player thing though. The old Bulls teams played SHUT DOWN DEFENCE which meant that it was difficult to get a big lead on them and if you got down to them by, say 21 after 1 quarter, you ain't coming back!

They were masters at just keeping the game close until the final few minutes, even when playing badly, and then handing it over to MJ to close out the game.

I'd still say Jordan is a better player than Kobe. But a couple of factors in Kobe's favour:
- his team this year is nowhere near as good as that of most of Jordan's title winning teams.
- the rules now allow a certain amount of zoning, which makes it much harder for gun players to iso late in games and take a defender one on one.

LA Boy I have to disagree with your comment that Magic wasn't as dominant as Kobe. Check it out:

Career
FG% .520 REB 7.2 AST 11.2 STL 1.9 PPG 19.5

MVP and Finals MVP 3 times each.

As a ROOKIE he filled in at centre for the injured Abdul-Jabbar in game 6 of the NBA FINALS and led the Lakers to the championship with 42 points, 15 boards, seven assists and three steals. Johnson became the first rookie ever to win the Finals MVP Award.

There were plenty more games like this, the guy was the definition of dominant!

Well being that I had intentionally dodged anything with Lakers v Celtics, or game 4 or spoiler in the title, I thought this may be an observation between the 2 that had nothing to do with today's game...
