And gladly take him on my team over him if both were rookies ...
All this talk about Bryant lately, and some people even have the nads to say he's better than Michael, :lol:^^
. Well I got news for you knuckleheads, he's not even the best guard from that Laker organziation. (the old timers can pipe in with West also, but Im not taking it there.) Magic was the epitemy of a true winner, (5 Titles , 3 Finals MVps ) All time leader in assists per game in the playoffs and the regular season. Maybe he didn't have the jumper or the dunks that Kobe brings to the table, but Magic had an uncanny knack and will to win. He made everybody around him better and although he was also blessed with great teams around him from the get go like Kobe, he showed as a 20 year rookie what it takes to be a legend, in what many call the greatest finals performance ever when Magic stepped in and UP for an injured Kareem and lead his team to a victory in the biggest stage to the tune of 42-15-7 while being guarded by Mosses Malone. And this from a point guard, but not just any point guard, some say the greatest point guard ever, period. At 6-9 Magic could do anything you wanted him for. He was like a coach on the court and always prepared to leave it all on the line.
You young guys rant and rave about Kobe, and he's good, good enough for me to rank as the #2 guard in Lakers History.
