Like i said, lakers in four no matter what. You see Kobes face throughout all of this, it looks like hes ready to rip someones face off with his teeth... And honestly, hes been in the media for a buncha bad stuff, like cheatin on his girlfriend and stuff, but if youve watched him over the years, hes gotten more and more mature, and less and less selfish. LIke, he is really that good, and the best thing is that he makes the players around him better. I know that cliche but its GD true. I prolly shoulda bet in teh NDN casino, i presume they have this available, would bet lakers in four and taken it DOWN. but seriosuly if the lakers go down ill shave my entire body and post a pic for everyone to see my hairless pasty body. LOL!! Kobe deserves it man, howards got plenty more chances, and kobe needs a win without shaq, because the more and more i see shaq, i think hes just a big stupid lug, that runs his mouth because no one can physically bust him up. Its actually great to see all the trash talk that went on between them, and then in an interview with espn they were both asked if theyd play together, and kobe didnt even let shaq speak and was like, "no no im not lookin in the past, never gonna happen" Shaq deserves it after running his jerk mouth for the years when he hasnt been good since 02... Lakers in 4!
