February 17, 2013: In an interview prior to the 2013 All-Star game, the "Mentor” -Michael Jordan - offered his blueprint for defending Lebron James: “I study him. When LeBron goes right, he usually drives; when he goes left, he usually shoots a jumper. It has to do with his mechanics and how he loads the ball for release. So, if I have to guard him, I’m gonna push him left 9 out 10 times. If he goes right he’s going to the hole and I can’t stop him. So, I ain’t letting him go right.” Hours later, the "Protege” - Kobe Bryant - took notice, and in a mano a mano challenge, delivered nothing short of a defensive masterclass. Kobe Bryant btw, was 34-years old. LeBron James Kobe Bryant

Prior to yesterday's 29 point comeback, the largest comeback in NBA Finals History belonged to the Boston Celtics, when they overcame a 24 point deficit to beat the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the 2008 NBA Finals. The game changed the entire complexion of the 08 Finals. When asked how he would cope with the devastating loss, Kobe Bryant responded: "Whine about it tonight.

The only time in NBA history that 3 guys celebrated like they'd won the championship, even though they hadn't won the championship, and then proceeded to still not win the championship. You can live for another 1000 years, and still never see another tone-deaf spectacle like this again.
