I expect him to get to the finals at the very least as he has the homecourt advantage throughout the west.


We know you're watching. Even though you picked against the Lakers. I expect you to pick against the Lakers in every round....
I'm so tired of the typical......

Who here agrees that LeBron is a wannabe? He took Michael's number, he's trying to follow Michael's footsteps. We all know Kobe has made his own legacy with his own number and his own of everything. LeBron, however, is trying to pretend that he is not following Michael. He always compliments Kobe, but we all know deep down, it's not true. We all know that LeBron thinks he's better than Kobe. Who agrees?

P.S. - The reason I bring this discussion here is because there are too many homeristic fans in the Cavs-Wizards game thread that are too afraid to admit it. I know you guys can see it.

I could never say that about KG. Even though he is a great player. In some way even in his prime he is Joakim Noah with a jump shot and a little better post game. Outside of that they have the exact same skill set.

Who? LeBron? I don't think you can wear "23" for USA. I think it's retired or something too if I'm correct.

And im sure you assumed he would get homecourt advantage at the start of the year too?

If Kobe wins, its cause he was expected to, if he loses, its cause he sucks.

Typical.

Apparently LeBron is a tribute to MJ, but Kobe is a cheap ripoff

LMAO! I didn't even know that about the USA thing.

I understand how it could get ugly, I'm trying to prove a point.

Who says anything about he is a bad player? He is awesome I have always thought so myself. I use the homecourt advantage reason because if you lose with it you can't give an excuse for why you lost the series as you were the favorite in that series.

Not really. I would just to see Iverson have some success that is why I chose the Nuggets for this series.

How do u expect the finals for Kobe but pick the Nuggets to win? A pick means this is who you expect to win it, so how is it that you expect Kobe to make it to the finals? :roll:

No that is just called an upset. Any time you have homecourt you are expected to win the series. Whether it happens is a different story.

In the interest of making everyone happy, here are the following official proclamations:

1. Kobe does not deserve MVP

2. Kobe is not even the best player on his team

3. The Lakers will not make it out of the 1st round
