Well, I still think Kobe made the right play - and Kobe had repeatedly NOT gotten that kind of call. The refs weren't calling Bowen - there was one play TNT showed several times, the one with about 2 minutes left. You think Kobe should depend on the refs to bail him out on a desperation 3-pointer with time running out to decide a playoff game... in SA? Maybe if Bowen emerged from the play with a big piece of Kobe's forearm... Kobe's decision was not the problem. And if you didn't hate Kobe so much, you'd admit that Kobe was the chief reason the Lakers were even in it, and that your favorite Duncan came very close to booting another one.
Opty, do you, I wonder, ever tire of making half baked "arguments"? Not getting that kind of call does not, obviously, mean that that is the ONLY way Kobe can score. Duh. You can't even bring yourself to admit that without Kobe the Lakers never even begin a comeback.
Sheesh, and you accuse me of having an ego! LOL. You a first class mental case. I might not know everything, or even a lot, but, as I said, after having played basketball since I was 8, I'm pretty sure I know something, as opposed to nothing. And, if the standard by which we are to judge "knowing something" about sport is the drivel that you post, well, hehe, that's hardly a slap in the face.
Someone drives a car for a decade and they think they can comment on what it is like to witness the Indy 500. How many NBA finals have you watched little boy?
