That's hilarious. Kobe best season comes at the age of 27, and still falls short of the seasons Jordan put up regularly from age 23 through 33, and now Kobe might be better than MJ? MJ never quit on his team, let alone in a game 7. SAS was seriously sucking up. SAS has been very outspoken about how he thinks Kobe ruined the Lakers by sending Shaq away, so to see him sucking up to him so hardcore pretty much erodes any hope of me having respect for the man.
