Putting Lamar in the comparison with Scottie leads to another argument. And even Michael + Scottie does not equal to the guarantee of a Championship. Without a good team work, they will still struggle. By the way, how many years did it take for them to get their first ring? I don't mean they are not good enough, just that it always take 5 to win a game.

You're right. MJ is determined to WIN, and Kobe is determined to Score. Totally agree with that. But I can't agree that you consider scoring 81 pts is only because the other team is crappy. I mean I admit that I don't like Nowitzki, but I do respect his talent and skill.
