The f***ing Lakers are about to win the championship.
I can't say just how overrated I think Kobe is. Not that he isn't good, because he is, and borderline great, even. His absolute best is right up there with Jordan, Magic, Wilt and the rest, but he doesn't bring that game very often. To me, the number of shots taken, notwithstanding, he's been the 3rd best player on his team during the finals, behind Gasol and Odom, and it's not even close. He'll probably win finals MVP, and Gasol and Odom will be denied the praise they deserve.
Let's be clear... the Magic lost this series, and the Lakers are mature enough to take advantage. For that reason they deserve the win, and the title. But let's not kid ourselves as to the quality of this Lakers team, who would have been long gone from the playoffs had it not been for some iffy refereeing, particularly during the Denver series.
