On another note, did you happen to catch the first part of the telecast when they TNT was having technical difficulties...the got back on after a minute or two and Barkley said, "It's hard to get power when you're in the middle of nowhere." I love Barkely. ROFL

What, he wasn't making players better around him tonight? He isn't exactly low in assists with over a 400 a year average over the last 3 years. He plays great D too. Kobe is the best player in the league. When his career is over he may well exceed the achievments of Jordon.

They've been through some tough times, but it would be tougher for the both of them if one would happen to leave. I'd put my ego aside for the team and the major abundance of rings I'd be winning.

I hear Kobe might play in the Colorado Prison league next year?

That said I'm not sure MJ or Kobe are as good of an all-around offensive player as Magic and Bird were...
