http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/post/_/id/6158131/10-nba-mvps One day after Miami Heat teammate Juwan Howard said Derrick Rose should win the NBA Most Valuable Player award, forward Chris Bosh also picked the Chicago Bulls guard over the Heat's LeBron James. "LeBron has won the last two," Bosh said. "He is my teammate. But Derrick has had a phenomenal season. Looking at their record and how improved they are as a team and how much improved he is as a player, I think it's close. But I think I would give it to Derrick if I were a voter. "He's playing like the best point guard and the best player in the league. He's the most valuable player. If you take him out of the lineup, there's no telling what you get." http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/02/bosh-follows-howard-in-calling-rose-mvp.html http://www.terezowens.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/derrick-rose-03-409.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4289855170_94d272039e_o.jpg http://www.terezowens.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/derrick-rose-05-409.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ysXPAjhGw1k/TS6IK90jlUI/AAAAAAAAALI/iKXf9Rdk4mo/s1600/Derrick+Rose-1.PNGhttp://i.ytimg.com/vi/Zg2OmfLKtkA/hqdefault.jpg

3.081 my highest argghh

wade now, rose in the future.

What does jordan have to do with kobe passing elvin hayes? But anyway, great accomplishment for kobe, im sure he will be in the top 3 of all time scoring when its all said and done.

A lot of empty seats.

Fiction, I honestly believe the best player to have in the playoffs this past decade was/is Dwayne wade. Hes the closet we get to mj come crunch time. A lot of people may be hating on the heat for having a losing record in this season against winning teams, but i Know the truth. Haters gonna hate. This time wade has arguably the best player in the nba as his partner. I'm only hoping the celtics/magics or some other team can knock off the heat in the playoffs, cause im super duper scared to see my bulls play them. Specially in their house. Yikes. Fact or Fiction. Dwight howard has a warmer/sly smile than kobe? http://www.marketingshift.com/images/mshift/dwight-howard-sticker.jpg http://emotibot.net/pix/92.jpg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCCr6Q2LIqA Surprised no one picked this, but ah yes Tony hawk, many great times, makes me sad.

this

Fiction, ny will either play miami, boston, or chicago, i think. And will lose to either of those teams. Fact or Fiction: The orlando magic will win the nba finals at least once within the next 5 years.

lmao what would happen if a cat 5 hurricane comes in and hits it? Or the sea level rises?

Who do you think is a more valuable player to an overall team franachise? Who do you feel can make a bigger, immediate impact on any give nba sports team. We've all seen what happened with Cleveland once lebron left, but to be honest, this years Cleveland team is completely different than the one that lebron ran with. Orlando, imo would be a lottery team if it was not for dwight howard. Both are tremendous players, but if you were a building sports franchise and had to select a player, who would you choose and why?

Fact, knicks will lose first round, mainly due to the much superior team they could possibly be facing. Fact or Faction. If Kobe bryant was traded to the orlando magics for a draft pick this season, the magics would win their division and be favorites to win the east.

Better, perkins always gets hurts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZJwSjor4hM&feature=player_embedded#at=99 (CBS) - In what has been a slow-boil, "on-off-on" battle between notorious online hacktivist group "Anonymous" and anti-gay, fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church, it appears a shot has finally been fired. The Westboro Baptist Church recently made claims that Anonymous is targeting them and has pointed to a letter allegedly written by the group warning of attack against the church if they continue to protest at funerals. Westboro Baptist Church, led by the Rev. Fred Phelps, has drawn much media attention in the past for their fervent anti-gay stance and protests at the funerals of military servicemen displaying that belief. During a live radio interview on The David Pakman Show, a source claiming to be from Anonymous called in to confront church spokesperson Shirley Phelps-Roper from the Westboro Baptist Church, saying that the letter was not in fact real. The caller then proceeded to hack a Westboro Baptist Church-owned website during the interview (which you can hear at 8:24 in the above video). http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504784_162-20036043-10391705.html Am i going to hell? I committed over 9000 sins.

I actually have a feeling its gonna be a blowout with Miami taking an early commanding lead. Bulls will shorten their lead near the end of the game, but miami still wins wins by 12-25 points imho. Its gonna take a few games for bulls to get in rhythm with noah back. They looked terrible against toronto, and this is miami.

It is disappointing, but hey at least bogans has improved a lil bit since January and has actually been shooting good from the 3's. We can still pick up a decent sg, maybe possibly through buyout? Still a slight possible chance we made a trade, bulls just needed to have the package sent by 3pm, doesn't mean they had to publicly announce it yet. But really, its hard to find players like asik. Hes young, big, and athletic. Its much easier to find a serviceable sg. I think by next year when thomas is gone, will be happy we kept asik over trading him, imo. but hey, im just being optimistic;p At least boston got weaker, so improves our chances to make a run.

I really like asik, rare to have a big man with his athleticism. Him and gibson are good depths for us. We should have taken our guns and went after mayo, maybe 3 first round picks would have done it. Sucks to see JJ gone now.

ugh hate that accent he uses, never thought I would be saying this, but hell I even miss eminems encore days lol.

Kobe took harder shots? If you mean longer/ more wilder shots, then yes, he has. But if you mean kobe always has more defenders/tougher defenses on him constantly compared to mj, Sorry I cant buy that. MJ had just as tough as a job getting to the basket and scoring points as kobe. I also disagree with your claim that kobe was the lead alpha dog over shaq. Its true kobe has more fg attempted overall in his three seasons of the dynasty, but more shots does not necessary mean he was the leader. Season wise, shaq was a much, much, more efficient shooter. Kobes eg% rating for each of those 3 seasons was at .484, .479, and .483. Compared to shaqs monstrous .572, .579, .574. In the playoffs it was .555, .529, .535. Where kobe was .485, .459, and .472. However, playoff average kobe still had a slight advantage over shaq with a 29.36 ppg average, and shaq had 28.63 ppg . Shaq edged kobe in the shot selection by 482 shots in the first championship run, where kobe averaged 88 shots more the second year, and 368 shots more his third year. However, if we wanted to compare using the usg% method, which is Usage Percentage the formula is 100 * ((FGA + 0.44 * FTA + TOV) * (Tm MP / 5)) / (MP * (Tm FGA + 0.44 * Tm FTA + Tm TOV)). Usage percentage is an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor. Since kobe and shaq both missed a bit of games in the regular season, I will compare their usg % in the playoff run with their championship wins. In the first 99-00, shaq was 31.3% Shaq 00-01 was 32% Shaq 01-02 was 31.4% Kobe 99-00 was 26.7%, Kobe 00-01 was 30.3%, Kobe 01-02 was 29.8% So yes, kobe did play a big role in his championship run to the team, probably more so than what most people give him credit too, specially the second/third title, but still, shaq was without a doubt, the numero umero of the team at the time. Which is also a big reason why he won finals mvp all 3 times, And just for a side comparison, mj in the playoffs for his championship runs were 32.7, 37.1, 38.0, 32.9, 35.5, 36.6% Pippen was 25.2, 23.6, 26.2, 22.2, 24.9, 23.0% So you can see, while shaq still operated with a larger % of the team than kobe, the difference is much more closer compared to what mj-pippen relationship was at the time. Teams knew the ball would go in mj hands, and mj was the primary scorer. Shaq and kobe, it’s a different story. Though, kobe did inniate the offense, and same with pippen on the bulls, it does not make either player more important than the others on the court. And since when having one of the best centers of all time, a huge bigman, be a negative for a sg? If anything, that will help the player get more open/free shots. Ray allen is primary a 3 point shooter, so its still kinda unfair comparing his shooting% to kobes. Though, kobe does have a lot of 3 point shots, in fact, only 14 players have attempted more 3 pointers than kobe in the history of the nba, out of that group, only one has a lower 3p% than kobe. From 2003-2007,”only seven players have attempted more threes than Kobe. All seven have a better three-point percentage (.347).” Another interesting stat is if you look at MJ's 3 pointers in 89-90 and 92-93. He took 245 shots 1990 and 230 in 1993, at 52.6% and 49.5% fg%. Kobe has taken fewer than 230 shots from the 3 point line SEVEN times in his career, and his highest FG % in those seasons was 46.9. Jordan would have still shot a high FG % if he would have taken just as many 3s. “Number of games in which player has attempted at least 10 shots, including at least three threes: Jordan: 264 Bryant: 626 Of these games, Jordan has shot below 40 percent in just 34 or 12.9 percent of them. Kobe? He shot below 40 percent in 193 or 30.8 percent. Any way you cut it, Kobe has a bad shooting performance in almost one of every three games or 25 times per season. Jordan? A bad performance just under 11 times per season. Now that’s consistency.” http://bleacherreport.com/articles/562044-closing-the-case-why-michael-jordan-was-a-better-shooter-than-kobe-bryant Why didn’t mj score over 50% again in a season? Various reasons, but he still shot admirably high, and 2 seasons came awfully close with .495fg%. He still posted some high eg% #s, including a 515 in 92, 525 in 95, and a 516 in 96, all 3 which are higher than anything kobe has put up in his career. But yes, like I said earlier, the 3 point game is much different now than it was in jordans era. Jordan, and the league average, did not shoot anywhere close to how many 3 point shooters you see in todays game. That last stat you posted about LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Dale Ellis, is not really a fair comparison, as the league was different in both the 80s/90s in regards to 3 point shooting. And the fact that other than Dale ellis, 2 of the other players have achieved this status have only been playing since the past 7 years or so? If not less for Durant. Should speak for itself. More shots taken does not mean you have a bigger range, its just means you take more shots;p Kobe could have a slightly better range than Jordan cause he takes a lot more 3’s, but taking a lot of 3’s is not something that was normal in mj’s era. Its all being based on assumption. I think mj would have developed a better, more efficient 3 ball if he was playing in this era. You can say its impressive kobes shooting % is at .46, which and mj is at .497%, though that is including his 2 years with the wizards, its still impressive, even with the amount of 3 pointers kobe has taken. That said, what I think is really impressive is, the fact mj has a higher eg shooting %, higher ts%, higher usg %, slightly lower 3 point %, or maybe even higher depending on how you look at it, and a higher ppg. He also did this without a true, good big man. Kobes a great player, but mj is still much more efficient at getting the ball to the basket, which is what the whole point of basketball is about;p. And this is just offensively speaking
