t-mac fans can point to him having lamar "the untradable triple-double threat" odom who's a better sidekick than t-mac has ever had, phil jackson for a coach, and a battered team who's got open gaping wound for an opponent. this isn't like t-mac taking his magic squad with NO HELP WHATSOEVER up 3-1 on the detroit pistons who won the title the very next year.

atleast kobe was trying to play defense..........something tmac has never done.

nonsense. why has t-mac received his fair share of all-defensive votes including finishing 3 spots off the second team and 2 votes ahead of ron artest in one year?
weak
t-mac misjudged and thought kobe had been screened properly
you see that pathetic jump for the shot? please... t-mac is a straight riser on his j's. no way kobe can block t-mac straight-up on one of his patented pull-up jumpers. the same can't be said in the reverse though. i've seen t-mac use his length to block kobe's shot straight ahead.

Or....ask, in all games kobe and tmac played against each other, who looked superior?....

a falsehood. you need to pay basketballreference.com a visit and do your history homework. kobe's been outplayed by t-mac... and, even looking at their head-to-head matchups, you have to take the HUGE DIESEL advantage into account

sorry... one play from an athletic player (all tmac ever was) doesn't do much.

t-mac's more than "an athletic player". "athletic players" don't take the garbage 5x worse than kobe's team he was forced to deal with in orlando during the 2002-03 season to the playoffs and establish a 3-1 lead over the detroit pistons who won the title the very next year. that takes a lot more than athleticism.
drop the laconic sarcasm and be realistic
