Kobe should no longer be compared to MJ

Stop comparing Kobe to MJ…why? Why stop now, just because he fail to produce the win in Game 4? MJ had Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippens, Luc Longley, Steve Kerr, Ron Harper and Toni Kukoc when he was winning his Championships. In Kobe’s previous titles he had Shaquille O’neal, Rick Fox, Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Brian Shaw and Ron Harper (anything familiar about the list of names). Who does he have now who could be classed as experience and veteran only Derek Fisher. Boston on the other hand have Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Sam Cassell. I am not looking for an excuse as to why they lost Game 4 cause there is none. But the NBA has been based on history. When you watch the games the commentators compare players and talk about the history of the teams. So because L.A did not win game 4 Kobe should stop be compared to the Legendary MJ. If that’s the case then KG should not be compared to Bill Russell, Chris Paul should not be compared to Magic Johnson or Isiah Thomas, and neither should Lebron or Wade be compared to MJ. You know why they have not accomplish what Kobe has accomplished. Okay take a look at history….Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, Karl Malone just to name a few. These players are Hall of Famers and will go down as some of the great players to ever play the game of basketball. Yet still they fell short every single time, they have never won a Championship but still they are the best. Young players are being compared to them and want to be like them. So why should Kobe stop being compared to MJ, I don’t see why.

Kobe did not asked to be compared to MJ, he state he wants to be the best. Every player in the NBA wants to be the best, they wants to be the go to guys. But not every players accomplish that. We are the ones who said Kobe is like Mike. We did not hear him say he wants to be like Mike. So leave the guy alone. Most players can only wish they could play as good as Kobe. Hey...no matter what we say there are kids out there who wants to be Kobe and who wants to be better than Kobe. His career is not over because he lost Game 4 in the 2008 Finals, he can win ring #4 another season. Kevin Garnett is yet to win a ring. You know what's ironic we all say Kobe had to have Shaq to win. But guess what Kevin Garnett have been trying to win and if he did not team with Pierce and Allen he would still be in Minnesota watching Kobe trying to gain his 4th ring. One player don't make a team if that was the case Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing and Karl Malone would all have several rings. More so guys in the league today would also have rings...guys like Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, even Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. This is just my opinion from a realistic point of view.

On the other hand, I was disappointed cause I was cheering for the Lakers to win....who wouldn't be. But it's all apart of the game some have to lose in order for some to win. Hey I bet if Lakers had won and went on to win the Championship we would then be asking the same questions of the Boston Celtics. LOL , it's the way of life...funny ain't it, yeah I know we have to disagree to agree. Remember how we (yes we cause I have said it) use to say that Kobe was selfish, yeah...you remember don't you. Well he changed all that starting with his Jersey #, and he is the League's MVP. The current Kobe passes the ball and look to make his teammates better., while the previous Kobe would look for his shot everytime the ball touches his hands. The result of the new and improve Kobe is that his is less aggressive, more into passing, and he is not trying to be the player who touches the ball last on his team. That my friends I think slows him down. You know what I would love to see #8 in game 5. Kobe has accomplished so much when he was selfish. So what he did not stand a chance for the League's MVP then, a lot guys didn't and they are Hall of Famers.

Long Time Wi No Chat

It's been a long time since my last post. I was too busy I guess. Where is my manners, hey everyone. How are you? Fine....me too. So what's up, nothing out of the ordinary. I don't even know what to write about....ha-ha. Let's see oh yes let me give an update on my source of happiness, my world and my everything. Stop it! Your mind is too smotty I was talking about my son what was in your mind....nasty. Anyways, he is getting big and I can hardly manage him, he is like a source for energy. I think that if the current is off I can use him for a generator if you get the picture. Too bad I don't have such energy cause he is driving me crazy. But on the real he is keeping me on my toes at all times. One day I was inside and all of a sudden the house was quiet and I was like okay where did all the noise go. So I called Antoine and he did not answer so I went to look for him. I had locked the grill and the kitchen door to keep him from going outside. However I forgot to lock the bathroom door seeing that he hardly go in there anyways. Apparently I wrong, he wanted to go outside so bad that he found a way out by all means. I got so afraid cause I didn't know where he was. Then I heard my grandmother said "see him here". He was outside heading to the gate when I went after him he started to run 'an yu wan see him likkle foot dem'. I was mad but the way he ran I had to laugh. Sometimes he does stuff that gets me upset and I can't get angry cause he knows how to get on my good side. And to think he is only 1 year old. He is so smart sometimes I am in awe at how he reacts to things. One day I was pretending to cry he was so upset he tried to dry my eyes with his shirt and when I didn't stop he placed his hands on my cheek and looked in my eye and said "mama" and some other baby talk and was about to start crying, so I had to stop. Sometimes I wonder how did I get a son so smart for his tender age, and I love him so much. If you knew him you would too. That's it for now and by the way his Dad and I are back together...well sort of....no I am not going to tell you about it. Not now anyways that's another story for another time. Sometimes unno too fast and nosy......hahaha....later.

Valentine's Day

What a day everyone in red and white....wow! The day of love they call it. Well to some this is just any other day. Here I am at work like any other work day, ready to take on the stress and excitement that comes with it. But unlike everyone one else I am not daydreaming about tonight. Most people are dreaming about the romantic dinner, party, a night on the town or maybe just a quite night at home with their significant other. Me on the other hand is thinking about son, budget and other unimportant things not related to this day.

Truth of the matter is that I have no one to share a romantic dinner, or party with. Sad...you say. Well maybe it is sad but on the bright side I love being single. No one to nag me about where I'm going, where I've been, and so on. Oh what the heck....the truth is as much as I like being alone sometimes it gets a little boring. I love the whole romantic gestures and all that comes with it and sometimes I miss all that and I do get lonely. But what a girls to do but suck it up and go, being without a man is not the end of the world. So I am using this time alone to work on me cause you can't love someone unless you love yourself...ain't that right.

I don't pray and ask God for a man. I pray for peace, health and happiness. And when God see it fix to give me a man he will give me a good one. I rather be alone than be unhappy. I love to laugh and if a man can't make me happy then what's the use. What is love without joy? Maybe today Cupid will let his arrow works magic for me, maybe he won't, but at the end of the day I am still me.

What is love? To me love is when you can forgive someone when they did you wrong and not hold a grudge. Love brings peace and happiness.

Love is pure, Love is sure, Love is a sickness no doctor can cure.

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet but not as you.

HAPPY VALENTINE"S DAY

New Year

The New Year is here and it feels like the middle of the year alright. God, this is bad. Well so far my year is not good...work wise. It's getting to me as is this whole system that we live in. But...I will continue to live each day as it is the last.

The good thing since the start of the year is that my son turn 1 yrs old on the 9th. I had to work so I keep a party on Sunday...well not really a party just some fun stuff for him. (It is said if you keep a party for your child's first birthday you have to continue to keep it until they are 16 yrs old or else they will have bad luck) That's just superstition, but I aight keeping it, lol. I don't care go ahead call me superstitious.....lol.
