I RESPECT KOBE NOW MORE THAN I EVER DID AFTER HEARING THE CONVERSATION HE HAD WITH THE TOPIC OF HIM BEING LIKE MICHAEL JORDAN. HE WAS NOT COCKY BY SAYING THAT HE WAS BETTER,NO IN FACT HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER BE LIKE MIKE."MIKE IS MIKE" HE REPLIED AFTER BEING ASKED IF HE THOUGHT AS HIMSELF LIKE MIKE. HE WAS ALSO ASKED "DONT YOU WANT TO BE THE BEST" AND KOBE SAID SOMETHING THAT WAS REMARKEABLE."THE BEST THAT I CAN BE" HE REPLIED. I THINK THOSE ARE THE WORDS OF A TRUE WINNER AND CHAMPION. EVERYONE SHOULD RESPECT KOBES GAME AND JUST KOBE HIMSELF BECAUSE HE HAS RESPECT FOR OTHERS. -DANIEL ORTIZ

WHATS GOING ON WITH THE NUGGETS????EVERYBODY ASKS. they have to great superstars in carmelo anthony and allen iverson and a great upcoming guard in J.R smith. There are many answers, one is that the trade for a.i was not as great after a.i teamed up with melo because they barely made it to the playoffs this year ,but even though they made it to the playoffs they got swepped by the lakers. how can the worst team that made it to the playoffs(ATLANTA HAWKS) make a series against the best team in the nba(BOSTON CELTICS) 7 GAMES. Being swepped was just unexceptable. Clearly the nuggets need to make trades. the nuggets should start by trading anthony carter who was not a factor in the playoffs. also trade(hate to say it) kenyon martin because he is just not the same now after surgery. i think we should keep melo and a.i together because i dont think they are the part of the problem. it was the inconsistence of the bench. Nene will be a huge factor for the nuggets sucess next year. also if the nuggets draft a guard like ty lawson or chris douglas-robert then they will also be a part of the nuggets sucess and a possiblity of starters next year taking carters spot if j.r smith does not get it. If the nuggets make significant changes(not specificly my changes) then they have a possibilty of haveing a 55+ win season.
