Shaq Wins 4th Ring. Kobe Wracking his Brain on the Couch?

The Miami Heat played their hearts out tonight to conquer the NBA Championship in an unexpected 6 games. Whether you like the Heat or not, you have to admit that this one was well deserved and inspiring.

The Heat have been criticized since the inception of the playoffs. People called them a paper tiger when they lost 2 games at home to the Bulls in the first round. They expected them to face adversity against Jersey. Everyone in the media declared the Pistons champions even before the Eastern Conference finals started. And, none of ESPN's "experts" really believed that the Heat could win a game in Dallas, definitely not game 6 at least.

Well, Pat Riley's team overcame all that adversity to hand him a 5th championship. I'm happy for Shaq because he delivered on his promise. I'm happy for Wade because all his hard work paid off and he has not only proven himself as of the league's best guards, but also as a leader and unifying force. I'm happy for 'Zo Mourning and Gary Payton b/c they got championship rings they truly deserved. And I'm happy for Riles b/c I thought he did an excellent coaching job.

I think the most touching thing about the win was the comradery between Shaq and Wade. I truly respect Wade for him humility, his being able to hand the spotlight to Shaq while still shining as a star on his own. And you could see the two guys being truly happy for each other, Shaq aiding Wade in a jumpstart to his career and Wade aiding Shaq to add another notch in his.

I'm not even going to bash Kobe that much in this post (however tempting it is) because it has all been said before. One thing I hope is that, while he's sitting on his couch and watching the celebration, he thinks about what he could have done differently in the past or could do differently in the future. Maybe he could call Wade and ask if he can borrow some humility.

i told u shaq said it was both of their fault that they had a bad relationship. both of them. shaq said he couldnt embrace kobe when they were together. he said he didnt want to do it again with wade. i understand that. congradulations heats they are the champs. i simply cant say anything about shaq cause he won. he got his 4th title without the lakers. respect is something i give and the heats earned it by winning the title.

Actually, Shaq never said that. One of the announcers on the ESPN did. Plus, Kobe is not a 5-year-old that "needs embracing." The Wade-Shaq relationship is a 2-way street, they respect each and have the common goal of winning, that's all that matters. Also curious how no one else has been able to "embrace" Kobe.

i dont think an announcer would just put words into somebody's mouth. shaq did say those words or else greg anthony wouldnt be saying it. of course he gets no embracement.

im pretty shocked about shaqs reaction. he didnt rub it in the lakers face or into kobe.

I'M GLAD SHAQ AND WADE WON THE TITLE. THIS SETTLES THE WHOLE SHAQ KOBE ARGUMENT UNTIL KOBE WINS A RING (WHICH HE NEVER WILL). BUT THE FACT REMAINS SHAQ GOT ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP WITHOUT HIM. WE CAN SAY KOBE WILL DO THIS AND KOBE WILL DO THAT, BUT THE FACT REMAINS SHAQ HAS ANOTHER RING AND KOBE IS SCORING CHAMPION. GO DOBE!!!CAPTAIN 1 ON 5 IS LEFT TO BE THE MAN IN L.A. THAT'S A BIG THING DON'T GET ME WRONG, BUT I'D RATHER BE THE MAN PERIOD AS AN NBA CHAMPION (CURRENT ONE).

It only proves that Shaq indeed needed an all-star guard to help him win a title. Just like Kobe before, Wade needs an all-star center to win a title. Here is how I see it-Kobe and Shaq were like brothers who loved each other, get into spats, then hug and forget, but then the spats become backstabs and the brothers don't talk to each other for years. Wade and Shaq are like son to father in which the son looks up to the father with respect and the son prospers. I believe these analogies are due to the age differences between all three people and in the stages in their NBA career. Just pretend that Wade was drafted by the Twolves and that some disagreement between Wade and KG developed in their relationship it would be like brothers and then KG two years later was teamed up with some rookie or a 3 year player and Wham! they become best of friends because of the older and wiser KG and win a title.

Shaq was just on the podium on NBA TV, post game conference..Some writer tries to bait him with a Kobe and Wade comparison, and Shaq takes the high road, compliments both players, calling both fabulous, but Wade is the champion right now. Makes the sting of Shaq winning less painful, knowing he could have taken his shot but didn't.

sigh...Shaq helped in the inside, but the Mavs did a good job with Diop and Dampier holding him up for the double teams. Personally, I was more impressed with Zo, and his always aggressive and menacing style of play, even at his age. You guys keep putting all of the wins on Shaq, when we all know who really beat the mavs. It was the MVP, D Wade, taking it to the Mavs throats. He was the difference maker. Im not even a wade fan yet, but I might be changing some alliances if he keeps this up. Even Shaq is calling him the BEST PLAYER EVER. Over Jordan? Over Magic? You know what? Just shut up, and enjoy greatness rising. Kind of like a really good silent fart in a crowded subway.

Listen dude. I agree with you that Shaq showed he could still win. The theory is that Shaq didn't want to lose the weight and get in shape and get along with Kobe, but Shaq didn't just diss Kobe, he dissed the the team and the organization. The reality is that once he went to Miami he wanted to get in shape and get along with Wade and Zo and the rest of the team and the organization. All the Lakers fans ever wanted was that same respect to the game from Shaq. Of course the Lakers would've won more championships with Kobe and Shaq, but it was mind over matter. What I don't like is that everyone blames Kobe when everyone had a fault in this Laker mess. What I hate most is that everyone latches on to the catch phrase that "Kobe is selfish". What exactly does that mean? Is it that he doesn't share the ball on the court or that he doesn't share his lunch off the court. To me, I've seen Kobe give Shaq the ball for a highlight dunk, give the ball to Dfish for a clutch shot, pass to the open man in the triangle offence. Just like Dwyane passing to Shaq or Haslem or Posey for three, Dwyane Wade doesn't hesitate to take over the game and nobody calls him selfish. I don't believe that Kobe is selfish. If a teammate gets a pass from Kobe, all I expect is for that teammate to make the shot. It is up to the Lakers organization to go get PLAYERS that can make the shot.

It's true. Yesterday did prove this blog right. Wade leads the Heat in assist. So he is a totally unselfish player. The Heat play as a team as opposed to one on five. Basketball is really simple. No single player can win a pro game by themselves. The team that plays as close to a cohesive unit as possible wins 99 percent of the time. Kobe's brand of basketball is undoubtedly very stylish, but it's incapable of penetrating the playoffs or winning rings.

Here are some comments by Phil:

- the game is getting soft, unphysical, and is all about style and flash

- that the timeout incident was bad

- Stackhouse getting suspended was bad and Wade got free calls

- the Refs favored Riles and Wade a lot, very generous with Wade

- Wade free reign to do anything...

- Pat's influence on the refereeing was critical, in that wade got calls that dirk couldn't get in the identical situation.

- Very clear on Kobe being the best. Said Wade doesn't come close to jordan. Said Kobe worthy of comparison.




- Dan Patrick rated players: 1) Kobe 2)LeBron 3) Wade, does Phil agree?

Yes - Kobe, LeBron, Wade


-How do you take advantage of preferential treatment?

Riles did it the right way, gave Wade the middle of the floor allows refs to see fouls


-What about Shaq's quote on Riles?

Shaq always says the best is who he is with at that moment. Complimented Riles,
doesn't hurt him at all. Said that he couldn't get Shaq to play screen rolls, Riles did


-Why was Riles able to get it out of him?

Phil got that ability out of him in a different way. They didn't need him to score


-Did the Lakers make the right decision on Shaq?

Yes Teams never get enough back for a dominant center


-Do the refs affect who you pick?

Needs to decide on potential or now at 26th. 3 point line is a very important part of the game, maybe not a better game, but its different


-How would MJ do now?

PJ would just spread the court and let him drive. MJ couldn't get a call against Utah in the finals. How many throws would he get today? Subs don't get calls, you hope your top two players do


-Can an owner affect a game?

Mark put himself on the backside of the game. He should have kept a lower profile. Refs couldn't help but be affected


-Could you coach for an owner like that?

Depends on if he can be told to shut up and sit down. He wants the space to make decisions. Mark has been a very affective owner.


-Was AJ out coached?

Unfortunately there were many things that looked questionable in the finals. Did a great job in earlier rounds. Players were able to front Dirk without foul calls. Wade was able to run through screens without a foul call . All the ref rules were out the door by the time the series was over (Riley influence).
presequel

DAN PACTRick show. so u think wade and lebron is better huh. well i think the zen master would dissagree.

First of all, why would Phil Jackson say anything bad about Kobe right now? He has to coach the guy. And we all know how well Kobe responds to criticism. Phil didn't criticize Kobe publicly when he coached the Lakers the first time around. And we've all either read or seen quotes from his book.

Second, it's unfair to compare Kobe and Wade at this point. Kobe is 4 years older and has 7 more years of experience. I think Wade is not playing at his full potential yet, he has room to grow. As far as talent, I would agree that Kobe shows more talent than Wade at this point in time. He also has a height advantage over Wade. But Wade has shown that he's a more mature player, that he's a better leader and a better teammate, and it's those things, in addition to talent, that allow you to win championships.

Hmmm, let's see. The Lakers with GP, Malone, Shaq and Phil didn't win anything. And no, getting to the finals isn't good enough. GP, Malone and Shaq proved that by not even acknowledging that they were WCF champions after beating the Twolves. That upset me so much, that these bozos thought so much of themselves that they didn't even bother to touch the WCF trophy saying that they didn't win anything yet. That was a disgrace to the NBA, the fans, especially Lakers fans, and to themselvse too. They essentially thought they were better than anyone else and shouldn't be bothered until they were given the Larry O'Brien trophy. Kobe Bryant was not that foolish. He accepted the fact the Lakers were WCF champs and went focused into the finals.

camon u think phil is just saying that...

after phil went back to the lakers, the first that happened was that kobe wanted to invite him to a room just with them two to discuss what happened and what will happen. during the season many things happened between these two. they became really close.

if shaq really wanted the team his way then wouldnt u think he would go to a team where he would lead it, not wade? it doesnt matter cause hes the champ and he always gets it his way and grats to him. i really thought he was ganna rub it in the lakers face proving them wrong but man he really matured into a shaq we never knew. DID U KNOW THAT WHEN SHAQ WAS IN L.A FOR THE SUPERMAN PREMIRE HE said something like "I LOVE THE THREE RINGS I HAD WITH THE GREAT KOBE BRYANT AND THE UNBELIEVABLE DWYANE WADE"

phil, the guy that made pippen one of the best rebounders, the best defender and jordan the great one, would lie like that? hes phil jackson, he tells the truth.

if phil was so sick of kobe, wouldnt u think he would have gone somewhere else?? he could have gotten so much more then 10 mil, for example teams that are loaded with money liek the bobcats. fact is, these guys are together again and friends so the book is a waste, forgotten now.

Shaq got out rebounded by BWallace. No Lakers other than game 5 scored in double figures except Shaq and Kobe. GP didn't do anything. Malone was injured but still was rebounding and not scoring. My point is that after beating the Twolves, they disrespected the WCF trophy and it was disgraceful. Teams play hard to represent their conference in the finals and they didn't care. All they cared about was "give me the big trophy because we deserve it." Well it didn't turn out that way. The Pistons took it away from the Lakers for thinking that way.

The Lakers are mediocre because they don't play any defence. The lakers make too many mental mistakes. During these Finals the Mavs played like the Lakers played the entire season. The Mavs had a thirteen point lead with 6 minutes left and all of a sudden stopped playing aggressive and no defence. That was the turning point. From there the end of game 3 and games 4, 5 and 6 were typical Lakers game this season. Who would've believe that the Mavs would lose 4 games in a row when they only had a 3 game losing streak only once the entire season. For the Lakers to get better, they need defenders with smarts. For instance, use a foul to give.

Ha! the Miami cHeats have only one while the LA Lakers have 9. Now, who cares if Kobe is arrogant. What? was he arrogant to you? Did his diss you when you wanted his autograph? There are plenty of NBA stars who are arrogant on the court- AI, Steve Francis, Kenyon Martin, Mike Bibby, etc. and nobody hates them. Why? Is it because Kobe was accused of rape of a white girl? Just look at the white Duke Lacrosse team, they are accused of rape of a black girl and once the media has some facts of the case they all say there is no evidence and the case should/must be dropped. Yet with Kobe the is no evidence of a rape (consential sex-yes, but no force of rape.)and the media says "let's see what comes out at the trial." The charges were dropped and yet Kobe is called a rapist. Everything being the same except if it had been a black girl would everyone hate him? I believe not. The media as well as everyone else would be saying "It's a he said, she said and we will see what comes out of it." All you haters say Kobe is selfish. So what. Did Kobe not share with you? There are other NBA players that are selfish-Stephon Marbury comes to mind and no one hates him. The haters don't like that he grew up a rich kid played in Italy, did't go to college, was drafted by the Lakers and became a champion three/four years into the league? What if Kobe didn't get traded to the Lakers and instead stayed to play with the Hornets and he was the great player he is and never won a title would everyone like/love him as an NBA player then?

So now it is about his comments? Who cares? Really, it matters what he has to say? About what? Is it about what he had to say about Shmuq to the police in Colorado? Get over it. What ever he had to say was between him and Shmuq. He didn't say anything about you and yet you hate him personally. The team is mediocre because of Mitch and Jerry Buss' refusal to go over the cap and luxury taxes. My comments about race were a generalization of society and why others around the country hate Kobe Bryant too besides yourself.

the heats deserved it for winning. no lies. i wanted big d to win, but maimi won and they are champs.

of course all haters would say he playes selfish and playing 1 on 5 ball. bad thing unless it higher you stats? yeah sure ok, u say he ruined his team. the organization is lead by buss not him. buss mitch then superstars. have u ever realized the last time kobe took a shot at him was at the beggining of the year. did shaq say he left cause he got tired of him? lakers needed cap room and therefore couldnt give him the money he wanted. he wanted to go with the young guy and he kept kobe. end of story.

he plays 1 on 5 ball, but its working cause he won many more games this year.

again, you couldnt stand it because he shoots way too much. so he changes it during the playoffs. he won 3 games when you thought they would get swept. so now what, getting to the secound round is not good enough for u?

lets get to the main point. the main reason. cause he shoots 1 on5. cause he is a bad player. by the way, u call him a great player and then a while later, you call him horrible. he doesnt take bad shots cause his stats been rising. and yes phil has got a way for him to change. if kobe quit on his team, which even i agree, i think it was for a better cause. even phil agrees. and riss, no thats not putting words into somebodys mouth. phil called kobe, lebron and wade. a while back, when somebod told you to post players better then him, you posted wade and lebron for sure. now ur saying they are not in their prime and its not fair. jordans prime was when he was averaging 37 points. he didnt win the champiosionship so i guess his prime is a waste too. its funny how people say that when he got his 81 points, he ball hogged way too much. funny how jerry west, a guy that "left" the lakers cause of him totally dissagrees.

everybody in the league is arrogant. pippen was arrogant too. pippen left the bulls to get more money but nobody blames him.

exactly riss, phil is not stupid. that is why he wouldnt just lie to the media because hes coaching kobe. just cause it seems like that, its not. everybody knows theres more to it. im not saying that kobe DIDNT get rid of shaq and he was thefall of the laker dynasty. you should watch the show the top 5 reasons you cant blame kobe for the fall of the lakers. it gives you inside facts that nobody would no. again, phil made the lakers into a contender again. no asorto, they are not a lottery team, again zen master is on my side. phil got them far that whatever he says, it doesnt matter. he proved that he is way more valuable than any coach and buss wouldnt make the same mistake twice. phil could make remarks about him but guess what, if kobe is shooting horribly, than whos fault is it really, its phil. phil is the coach so he should know what the other are doing.

i bet you that the lakers will go much farther than last season. on most people's point of view, this year was a success and they are not looking for a draft to save em. you cant dissagree that they are getting better and that is the main focus rite now. not to win 60 games or dominate. unless they get kg or whatever. its the lakers so many players would want to play for that organization. most nba players said they wont mind playing for kobe :). of course, except for waja.

Lastly... if any of you Kobe hating assholes come back to this piece of shit blog (i hope you get some kind of email alert due to this comment I'm leaving) ... fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

Kobe is a champion... no amount of lame ass blog posts or news articles from kobe haters is going to change the facts that he is one of the greatest players of all time.

And for a Kobe fan, it's so utterly satisfying to know that YOU also realize this... which is probably the same frustration that caused you to create this blog.

The Heat are fucking 8-28!!!

SHAQ IS TOO FUCKING EMBARRASSED TO EVEN PUT ON A FUCKING JERSEY AND PLAY! HE'S CLAIMING TO BE FUCKING INJURED!

Solid timing!

The Lakers are looking solid as well at 20-11 and have had one of the toughest schedules so far.

Yeah, I'm back and this site still fucking sucks.

And Shaq is a piece of shit ... wow Dwayne Wade and Alonzo Mourning are injured and the Heat are 8-28!

Maybe it's clear now that it was Wade and Mourning that carried Shaq through the Heat's championship!

Fuck this blog, fuck TeamPlayer, and fuck the Kobe haters.

Your blog is disgusting. If you don't love Kobe, you don't love basketball, because he IS basketball.

Shaq without Kobe: 1 Ring, 0 Finals MVP
Kobe without Shaq: 2 Rings, 2 Finals MVP, 1 Regular Season MVP, 2X Scoring Champion, USA gold medal, 2 All Star MVP's (Voters felt bad for the big Gorilla so they made him co-MVP with Kobe and he previously shared one with Tim Duncan)
Wow; seems as though Shaq needs Kobe more than he needs Shaq. The creators of this blog are probably some whining Celtic fans are any other team that Kobe's owned.
