Herald / Kobe piece

["Josh Ozersky" <jozersky1@nyc.rr.com>]

I agree with this assessment to an extent, and I think it burns
Kobe's ass that he knows the jury is out until he has his own
team.  Personally, I think the guy is an all-NBA talent, particularly
on defense, although he can't handle the truth any more than
any one else can.  But Kobe's passing and shooting is just so
automatic and effortless; he's like Ray Allen with gonads.  I really
like him as a player.  I guess you would have to say that Iverson
is the best Player, in the sense of skill, heart, "competitive greatness"
and ability to dominate a game single-handedly.  Pierce would be
in the running, though....

Anyone think we can beat the Nets tonight?  What do we think of
our chances against Philly in the first round.  Be careful what you
wish for...I hoped for this in the preseason.
