Great article on Kobe

I am not posting this as a Kobe hater, but merely a Kobe realist. He is not Jordan, he never will be, he is Kobe Bryant. He has moves like Jordan, patterns his jumper like Jordan, has similar mannerisms, even talks like him, only the words that come out of his mouth are more calculated yet you would never know considering all the stupid things he says. 

The Celtics were a better team. People picked the Lakers because the Western Conference was so tough this year and they just assumed the champ had to come from the West. Tough as it may have been, not one of the teams were as TOUGH, mentally and physically, nor were any of them as determined as the Celtics. 

Give credit where credit is due. The Celtics were the best team this year without a doubt...

And they very well may be again next year, regardless of how good the West is again.
