[quote name='Scrubking']Your right, he doesn't hog the ball, piss off all his team mates, score 40 points and still lose the game.
Wade is 100 times better than bryant because he is a team player and knows how to get his team mates involved + score 30 when he needs to. [/QUOTE]
If you watched the Lakers play this year, you might have noticed that Kobe tried to get his players involved. They either didn't want to take the shots (Lamar Odom, Brian Grant) or couldn't make them (everyone else). The Heat bench players could start for the Lakers, so maybe that should be taken into consideration. Although I know how fashionable it is these days to bash Kobe...

At least until they play the Pistons. I think that's a toss-up.
[quote name='Scrubking']Anyways, the NBA has always been about special treatment to certain players. So don't get mad at Miller, get mad at the refs and Stern who secretly promote such a system. And if your mad at Miller watch some old tapes of Jordan when he played and you'll pull your hair out at all of the stuff he consistantly got away with. The other day I saw a behind the scenes thing about how refs try to be the best, most objective refs out there, but that is such a heap of bull it's not even funny. During game 2 of the Heat playoffs Zo got mad and said something to one of the refs and when he got down to the other end of the court the ref called a foul on him in a split second. Do you think it was fair? Do you think the ref wasn't venting his frustration for getting yelled at by Zo? It happens all the time.[/QUOTE]
The only reason certain players get preferential treatment is because fans refuse to think objectively. They ignore/exaggerate the faults of players they love/hate, and businessmen won't miss out on chances to make a profit from that (most of sportscenter is an excellent example).
