I read the whole thread over and found posts that didn't show anybody saying these things. You laid on the sarcasm a little thick there. Nobody said Kobe was selfish, nobody said he won't shoot in the finals.

No, you're right.

But we had so many threads during the season where Kobe was accused of everything. If you read them, you'd knew. Perhaps I failed in my sarcastic attempt, I'll definitely leave that possibility open.

I have read those posts before. I usually skim past them, it serves no purpose to argue with someone who won't at least consider meeting the other halfway.

I don't think you failed with your sarcastic attempt in the eyes of others on this board who use that same popular device to poke fun at other members. ZOMG is the one I'm referring to.

Anyways we are in agreement about Kobe. His shot isn't falling at the moment, but there are still plenty of games for him to correct that. The man to man defense Kobe played has been good. He gets steals and hounds the ball carrier. Those eight points in the third were great for me as a fan to watch, hopefully he will come back to normal. I would love for him to stop jacking up those questionable three pointers, but that's kobe, the positives always outweigh the negatives with him.
