What does Shaq think?

Your question would be relevant only if Lakers win the championship.

[jazzblues]

Kobe is a basky GOD

[Elabacki]

Last I knew there were 5 on a team----but it looks like the Magic vs. Kobe the GOD

[AGarcia]

Even Mike had Pippen, Rodman, Grant, and whole bunch of dumb centers to foul Shaq.

Kobe=beast

Best player to ever play the game. Mike sweet but there will always be someone sweeter, right now, Kobe is the best that ever played.

Stop, just stop. You must be under 25 to state something so ridiculous. What you see Kobe doing now, Michael was doing and MORE from his 2nd season onward. He didn't need to grow up and learn how to play on a team. Not to mention he had more hangtime. There's a reason he has SIX rings and Kobe only has one.

[Dennis Rabuini]

KOBE DOES NOT HAVE 1 RING EINSTEIN!!!

jordan had the benefit of going to college and didn't enter the NBA as a child, but after he emerged as a superstar he got away with murder on the court. kobe doesn't get those calls like jordan did.

kobe as THREE rings so far, by the way.

[ModernTimes1]

Kobe has one ring?! You MUST be from Chicago to be this igno-rant.

[TravisMay11]

You must not remember Jordan's first five years in the league when he was just a ballhog and not winning jack. He definitely needed to learn how to play with a team. And what does hangtime have to do with being the best player?? The biggest reason he has six rings is because he played during such a weak decade when four expansion teams diluted the talent pool and the greats of the 80's, e.g., Isiah, Bird, Magic, Dominique, etc., were getting old and retiring.

kobe's the best player playing right now... but yeah MJ is a g0d...
