The Daily Whine: Kobe beef

Found May 06, 2008 on Rotowhine:
PLAYERS: Kevin Garnett,  LeBron James,  Chris Paul,  Kobe Bryant,  Chris Wallace
TEAMS: Boston Celtics,  Cleveland Cavaliers,  New Orleans Hornets,  Los Angeles Lakers

Well, today Kobe will win his first MVP award in a highly debatable coronation. If Greg and I podcasted more, our views would be well-known. We both have long leaned towards LeBron as the league's best player, and if you are going to throw the "most valuable" argument into the equation it is hard to discount Kevin Garnett or Chris Paul. I'm now starting to suspect Paul may be both. I've gotten to watch him closely just these past few weeks, being the East Coaster that I am, and he makes quite a case. Kobe will win, however. No word if he's going to thank Chris Wallace in his acceptance speech.

LeBron Blows It

Via Sports Muffin  |  May 06, 2008
The Sports Muffin gives its take on LeBron's performance in Game 1 against the Boston Celtics: I argued a few days ago that Lebron James should have been MVP instead of Kobe Bryant. During game 1 of the second round against the Celtics Lebron did everything in his power to make me look like an idiot. He was only one rebound and one assist away from the triple double, but had...

Kobe Gets His MVP

Via PartMule  |  May 06, 2008
Who da thunk? After incessantly trying to whine his way out of Los Angeles this past off-season ? as I've documented thoroughly - who da thunk Kobe Bryant would be awarded the NBA MVP award for 2008? Still in a purple and gold LA Laker uniform, no less? Certainly not me. I would love to see those Vegas pre-season odds for a Kobe MVP. He had all but backed up the U-Haul up to...

Anyone Remember This LeBron James Character?

Well Phooey on You, Cavaliers Fans

Via MVN  |  May 06, 2008
Looks like there is a bad case of double-standards being conconcted by the Cavs supporters by saying that a 45-37 team's record doesn't matter, but a 37-45 team does. What kind of math says that when you are only 8 games ahead of Atlanta during the regular season, that you think you are on top of the world. Just because you beat a Wizards team in 6 games?

Lebron James Chokes Under Pressure as Game One Goes To Celtics 76-72

In a game that reminded all of us why we fell in love with the Celtics long ago, Boston vanquished Cleveland from the Garden floor 76-72. Our Sensei beasted brightly, leading the charge of the Celtics Stoic defense with an impressive 12 rebounds and a solid 7 pts from the floor. No, Ray did not have his C game tonight. No, the truth was koan-ed by the inept officiating. This was...

Hawks Out, the LeBrons Next

Via MVN  |  May 05, 2008
The Celtics decimated the Hawks 99-65 last night and this series is thankfully over. The Celtics domination gave them the Hawks point total with about 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, and had doubled the score on the Hawks several times during the 3rd quarter play. Game ball went to Doc Rivers for winning his first playoff series, and player of the game candidates has to be spread...
