I was in Chicago for all six Bulls titles. Remember, Jordan ran with Pippen — who was a phenomenal sidekick — on all six, and Grant and Rodman for the rest. He was surrounded with talent, especially on the defensive end.

It’s easy to knock Bryant, who is far less media savvy than Jordan. But keep in mind the Kobe Lakers are a one-man show. Going forward, it is unlikely anyone else from this Lakers team will ever play in All-Star game. Gasol made one two years ago, but that looks more and more like an aberration. I’d rather have Al Jefferson. (Bynum may have the stuff, but he was injured throughout the playoffs.)

You can compare Kobe and Michael as individuals, but you can’t really compare them through their teams.

Tony,

We as Boston fans need to boo anyone involved with ESPN at any chance we can get. You’re darn right it’s because of the inexcusable Spygate coverage. Can’t wait to see what happens on the first Monday Night Football game in Foxboro this year.

Good point….but I’ll still go to my grave believing that the card with the Knicks’ logo on it was “specially marked” in some way so that it would be the last one pulled out of that drum at the ’85 Draft Lottery

The Dave Gavitt BS of how Stern screwed the Celtics still survives all these years later? It’s been 15 years and people still actually refer to it like it is true? Like it was not a cya story by his media lackies spinning it to cover their buddy whose incompetence as a GM screwed the Celtics.

The rules of the CBA were enforced when Reggie Lewis died. They were also enforced when Magic had to leave for HIV. They were also enforced when Alonzo Mourning left for his kidney problem – you see they had been changed by that point most likely because the league powers that be felt teams should be allowed to get cap relief in situations like that.

If Garnett’s drive in the lane was the passion and will of the team and this whole season then Ray Allen’s barrage of threes was the poetry.

I totally agree on booing Stern, who has seemingly made it his mission in life to screw the Celtics and boost the Knicks and Lakers every chance he gets, going all the way back to the (probably) rigged 1985 Patrick Ewing Lottery.

But can someone tell me why Stew Scott was booed? I’m certainly no fan of ESPN, especially after their bogus and biased Spygate “coverage”, but I don’t quite understand the boos for him.

Need a little help here.

Stern is a great commish, but kind of a tool
