As the Lakers go in to game 4 with a 2-1 lead vs the Spurs, many questions will be lingering. One of those questions being, 'Just how good is Kobe Bryant?'. Sure, he can score 81 points in a single game, jump vehicles, pools, and is a God with the ladies - but can he, with only Rodmonovich as his side-kick, defeat the defending champions? If you missed games 1 and 3, you may not be familiar with this new Spurs team. Sure, they added Ime Udoka, but the addition that flew under everyone's radar was the signing of Lamar Odom, who provides the Spurs with 12 extra rebounds, 26 points, and 5 takeaways per night. Those aren't Hakeem Olajuwon numbers, but they're close - and Lamar Odom doesn't even have to try.
A couple more games like Odom played in games 1 and 3, and this Spurs team could be well on their way to another championship. Yes, we understand there's a team in the east to deal with, but we're talking championships, so please - stay with us here. Meanwhile, Ginobili is shooting the lights out, Tony Parker found a jumpshot (probably in the closet he's hiding in), and Tim Duncan hasn't seen defense since round1...of 2004. So, not only does Kobe Bryant have to beat 6 players by himself, but he also has to contact his arch rival, God and convince him to stop making Ginobili's shots fall in.
Seriously, this is like those old McDonalds commercials with Bird and Jordan playing horse. But, Ginobili would beat them, because he doesn't even have to look, stand up, or shoot with his hands. I'm convinced at this point he could flop, and tip a ball in from half court, drawing the first offensive foul And1 opportunity in the history of basketball.

Tune in to see how the stars are aligned. If you're bored, just play the classic drinking game - 1 shot for a Ginobili flop, 1 shot for a "Whut I do no do not'ting!" hand gesture from Ginobili, 1 shot for a Gasol fist-pump, 1 shot for a Lamar Odom missed lay-up, and 2 pints for every time Kobe is fouled. (the refs actually have to blow the whistle though, so don't worry about it)
