It's false, wrong, stupid, and idiotic to think scoring and records should be the sole barometer that measures the effectiveness of a coach in any sport, let alone the NBA. |

If anyone's like Mike, it's Kobe Kobe is, in my opinion, the player who has a chance to get close to Jordan. (Notice I said close.) Bryant made incredible strides this year, both physically and mentally. He has a will to win, the ability to get off his shot whenever he wants to and he's a soon-to-be-great defender... |
