“‘We just wet the bed,’ Kobe said. ‘A nice big one, too. One of the ones you can’t put a towel over. It was terrible.‘” A brief note regarding the Lakers’ historic collapse at home last night in Game 4: I remain down on Bill Simmons, but he’s got an excellent point here: “[L]et’s just say MJ’s teams never blew a 24-point lead at home in the Finals…The Kobe-MJ thing…done. Over. Jordan never would have let that happen in the Finals. Ever. Under any circumstances. Nobody is ever allowed to bring this up again.”

I’m sure there was at least one time when MJ sucked. The world is not that absolute. MJ good. Kobe bad. Your hatred for the dark side does not give you Yoda’s clarity.
I’m not speaking absolutes, young Padawan. I’d be the last person to overesteem Jordan as a force for good.
I’m just saying he’ll always be better than Bryant. That seems pretty conclusive at this point.
