maybe but back then teams still played defense

personally, the only thing I hate more than Kobe, is lebron.. i can't stand either player and I will hate either team they play for. How is that for bandwagon jumping?? It would make me happy if both players went ahead and retired tomorrow. neither player can win a ring without a good supporting cast. Lebron is living proof of that, and the lakers don't care to spend money to put kobe in that position.

talent wise I think they are about the same. James just has a little more size than kobe. they are both good ball players, but i think they are both babies, and if teams actually focused more on defense than paying 20 million for people who just shoot all the time. then it would make the league better.. i mean i hate seeing scores like 145 to 132.. that's ridiculous and just proves how laze these players are now that they get paid.. that's why i don't watch NBA and just stay with the college ranks

I see your point, but who hasn't won a ring without a good supporting cast?

Also, its hard not to score nearly 100+ points every single game. You're given 24 seconds to get the ball off and that's not a lot of time to run a offense. Plus, most of these guys are nearly unguardable, like Wade, Durant, James, Bryant, Rondo, Rose, Paul, etc.

I do like to see some great defense, but you usually only see it during playoff time and sometimes you don't really see it then either.
