"This is a make or miss league"

Jeff Van Gundy

Such an obvious and simple statement, yet one of the realest things ever spoken by a NBA commentator. Sometimes the games are so over analyzed and dissected that the obvious is missed. If Courtney Lee makes a lay up (albeit a difficult one) at the end of game 2 are the Lakers still in control of this series? Analysts, to justify their salaries, always come up with reasons beyond the obvious such as weak side defense and pick and roll offense. But it really just comes down to MAKING shots.

In game 1 of the NBA finals the Magic group of Rafer Alston, Michael Pietrus, Courtney Lee and Jameer Nelson shot a combined 13-41. All we heard was how the Lakers had stepped up their defensive intensity. Oh these are the Lakers that can't be beat when they play defense like that. I went back through the game and saw that group of players along with JJ Reddick missed 21 open shots. Yeah, maybe a late close out by a defender but in general good clean looks at the basket. The Lakers basically stated their game plan was to leave Alston open. So their stated defensive plan to leave the 4th best shooter on the team open is brilliant?

All iconic figures have to deal with adversity it is what makes them memorable. It is what makes people care. Just say the name Kobe Bryant in a crowded room and you will get in a heated conversation.

I don't think anyone will ever know the "true" Kobe Bryant, but Spike Lee is going to give it a shot.

Spike Lee is doing a documentary on Kobe Bryant that is going to be shown on ESPN on May 16th. In the documentary Spike tries to give you some insight on what makes Kobe Bryant, Kobe Bryant.

In a career that has had more ups and downs than a day in the life of Jack Bauer (one of the few reasons Kobe has given for wearing the number 24) Kobe definitely has a lot he can reflect on.

In these three exclusive clips rolled into one Kobe talks about (in order):
