hard to go against the Bulls in that scenario, but that Lakers team was something special. Plus, you have to know that whoever guards Kobe for the game (either Pippen or Mike) will be seriously hampered on offense. That's basketball 101, make the star player play tough D to tire them out. Even then, Kobe would have been getting his, and they had strong perimeter shooting to kick it out. Plus the Phil Jackson vs. Phil Jackson coaching chess game would have been a mind fuck.
