Geez. I knew Kobe modeled his game on Mike's, but this is something

oxcoug

Today, 7:15am

he was obsessed with MJ. honestly it's one of the reasons i didn't like him as

So we shouldn’t learn from people who are successful before us?

That’s pretty amazing someone found all of those.

Revolution

Today, 7:31am

Kobe was touted as the next MJ, but Kobe was in the NBA at age18

So, I need to review what the Black Mamba mentality is, but have always assumed

I need travel advice from people who have done Tahiti before. Should we stay on Tahiti or Mo'orea?

NihonCougar Contributor

Today, 6:09am

Mo’orea for sure!

5150man

Today, 6:45am

Mo’orea 💯

inside_info?

Today, 7:13am

My daughter served her mission there. Her pictures of mo’orea were incredible

LaserCoug

Today, 7:23am

Mo’orea for sure. Beautiful. We liked it better than bora bora and waaaay

RalphWiggam

Today, 7:24am

Spend a day on Tahiti but Mo’orea is spectacular. (Close to each other.)

Pretty cool

I know some people may think that the Mavericls retiring Kobe's jersey is an

Today, 4:46am

Shaq, Wade, Iverson, Dirk, Garnet, Pierce, Allen, Duncan, Ginobli,

Corn Pop

Today, 5:31am

It’s true. We tend to go overboard after tragedies like this

cougarmanguy

Today, 5:37am

I think the jersey should be 'retired' only for the remainder of this season

Sir_Ten

Today, 7:23am

Aside from Iverson, briefly, none of them rose to the status of Kobe.

Ned Schneebly

Today, 5:44am

I would put Duncan ahead of Iverson on any list, but I agree with your post.

mobomanjoe

Today, 5:47am

Shaq and Duncan are both significantly greater than Iverson

AF Cougar

Today, 5:57am

You’re right, but that’s not really what I’m saying. My bad.

Ned Schneebly

Today, 6:40am

He wasn’t the best player of his era

cougarmanguy

Today, 5:47am

Define “best”.

Ned Schneebly

Today, 5:55am

Shaq didn’t rise to the status of Kobe, are you kidding?

Corn Pop

Today, 6:38am

How many people tried to emulate Shaq’s play?

Ned Schneebly

Today, 6:44am

I guess if you define stardom by an extremely narrow and singular criteria, then

Corn Pop

Today, 6:55am

In the end it’s all personal opinion.

Ned Schneebly

Today, 7:06am

I agree with some of what you're saying, but I don't think Shaq was close to

oxcoug

Today, 6:51am

That's a different criteria then the one I’m arguing.

Corn Pop

Today, 7:09am

Whats one way to prove super star status over another? Jersey sales.

Ned Schneebly

Today, 7:18am

All of those guys were around and were stars. But Kobe was different.

tmac was the man for a short time too.

I'd SDSU gets a 2 seed its cause they're undefeated. Why not #1 then? A loss....

What's up with BYU playing Thursdays and Saturdays? Wouldn't it make more sense

Scott_Tenorman

That’s the WCC schedule. I guess they miss less school and only have to fly
