Gotta give props to the pistons, they smoked the lakers bigtime. Who do you think will be the first to jump ship on the lakers?

Yeah I never expected it to end like that, but damn I'm glad it did, I'm in Toledo about 45 minutes away from Detroit, and it's great, I've never seen anything like it. Gotta love it.

Pistons shocked me how well they played. My hat goes off to them. I love seeing LA lose and all the bandwagon riders falling off.

Congrats Detroit. Much Respect.

R.I.P. Lakers - June 15th 2004 11:30 EST

BigBalla have you shut your mouth yet? The Lakers got their ass handed to them and Kobe got shut down. Leave those MJ comparisons at the door because in his prime MJ would have never played as horribly as KOBE did in a Finals series, EVER! I guess the only thing you can thank KOBE for is the fact that he kept LA from getting swept. Good Job KOBE!

One more thing....If Jordan played with Shaq and saw that no one else on his team was coming to play, he would have used Shaq to his advantage to get himself open looks.

Congrats to the Pistons!!!!!!!! The East is back!

On a side note, Big Ben Wallace looked damned impressive. If this guy ever developes a decent shooting touch, he'll be one scary mofo.

The best team money can buy.... wasn't so good after all. Congrats to the Detroit Pistons and Larry Brown. Just wish he could have done it here in Philly.

fuck east coast basketball !! never been a fan and never will

but that does not take away from the fact that pistons played an amazing series, hats off to them. but the lakers are coming back next year with major changes which will definitely reflect the shortcomings which lead to them loosing!

I am disappointed in Kobe. It's like he ignored the fact that he was shooting 3% throughout the finals...

The comparisons of Kobe/MJ will continue. After being in the league for 6 years right out of high school, Kobe has 3 rings. MJ benefitted from 3 yrs with Dean Smith, and after 6 years had one. You must admit that Kobe has the potential to suceed MJ, as blasphemous as that may sound to you. It was the same for us old dudes when others suggested that MJ might be better than Magic, Doc, Kareem or Larry.

As far as playing with Shaq, the Orlando Magic didn't come close to getting a championship while Shaq was there, so you can't rightfully say Kobe is riding Shaq's coattails.

As I said before, the jury is still out on this one, Kobe has many years left to play if he stays healthy and out of trouble.

There is nothing to concede. It is a matter of opinion.

I know they will continue. Everyone has an opinion.

Ultimately, the comparisons are based on individual talent in my opinion. Yes he does have the potential to be the type of player that MJ was. Will he ever capitalize? Who knows. I can tell you this, Kobe has a long way to go before even matching up with MJ. MJ in his prime would have never came up as lame as KOBE did in this series with Detroit. MJ consistently put up 25-35/game and played extrodinary defense.

My favorite player of all time is Magic but MJ is the total package IMO.

As for playing with Shaq, I mean using Shaq to his advantage....playing the 2 man game, etc. Kobe went one on one too much in the series with Detroit and he could have benefited from playing the two man game with him.

I never said he was riding his coattails but any smart player would know to use a weapon like Shaq to his advantage. Jordan did so with Pippen even though he wasn't as potent of a force as Shaq is today. Obviously they were two different players.
