Lakers edge out Celtics in ugly game 7

Congratulations to the Lakers on winning the title yesterday.  It was an ugly game, but that's what happens when you have two really good teams in a game 7.  Kobe Bryant is now one more step closer to being the greatest of all time.  Yup, that's what I said, the greatest of all time.  Jordan is the benchmark, no argument there, but Kobe is almost there.  Scoring wise it's a coin toss.  Jordan's 63 was legendary, but that's 19 points less than what Kobe did against Toronto.  Even though Bill Russell has 11 rings, the 6 that Jordan got seems to be the real top of the mountain.  If the Lakers can win next season and have two seperate 3-peats, that would be the icing on the cake.  Yes Kobe had Shaq for the first three, but Jordan had Scottie for all six.  As good as Pau Gasol is, and Lamar Odom, neither is a hall of fame caliber player like Pippen was.  Now all Kobe has to do is win next year, no easy task with the ever looming LeBron sweepstakes.
