The Black Mamba Strikes Again

"That's how you tell 20,000 people to shut up and sit down." - Jeff Van Gundy following Kobe's BIG 3 point shot to give the Lakers the lead for good in Game 3. To get to another point in defense of Bryant, I have already heard many people complaining about how Kobe wouldn't pass the ball to his teammates in a clutch situation. Well even though I have already touched on this in a previous post about how Lebron passed up a game winning shot, still it is an issue. Kobe gets heckled for taking a clutch shot and making it, and Lebron gets praised for passing up on a game winner and loosing. This whole thing is backwards and confusing me. But once again Kobe proves why he is the most clutch player in the game today, why when team USA needed a big shot to seal their final game he was who all those stars turned to. I am not trying to take anything away from Lebron, he is a great player, and has many more great things he will accomplish. All I am saying is that Lebron is not the clutch player to this point in his career that Kobe is. Yes I know Kobe is older, but he is still hitting those shots, like he showed tonight. And the game winner Lebron hit last night was the 2nd game winner he has hit in his playoff career, oh and he still has no rings. Gotta love those delicious chocolate chip cookies!
