Final Season, The
|
IMDB rating: 7.30 Plot: Tradition in Norway, Iowa, can be summed up in one word, baseball. In the small Midwestern town, population 586, baseball is a legacy passed father to son, generation to generation. The Norway high school team is no stranger to overcoming the odds, to playing “David” to the State’s much larger schools’ “Goliath.” When the 1990 team, lead by Coach Jim Van Scoyoc, wins its 19th State Championship in 23 years, it is almost expected. The unexpected comes when bureaucracy intervenes to merge Norway into a larger school, and petty jealousies conspire to rob Norway of its heritage and a 20th State Championship. The legendary coach is fired and replaced with his 24-year-old, one-season assistant coach, Kent Stock — a move designed to insure the team’s failure. “THE FINAL SEASON” tells the true story of an underdog coach and team who despite tradition have been written off not only by their rivals but also by those closest to them, the town. Can they find the faith in themselves, and the faith in each other, to make it to one final championship game — and the chance for redemption? |

Michael Jordan is #1 all-time in points per game and #3 all-time in points. Kobe Bryant is not in the top 10 all-time in points per game.
Michael Jordan is #34 all-time in assists and #74 all-time in assists per game. Kobe Bryant is not in the top 100 all-time in assists per game.
Michael Jordan is #3 all-time in rebounds and rebounds per game by a guard (behind Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson). Kobe Bryant is not remotely close.
Michael Jordan is #2 all-time in steals and #4 all-time in steals per game. Kobe Bryant is not in the top 50 all-time in steals per game.
Michael Jordan is #1 all-time in blocks and blocks per game by a guard. Kobe Bryant is not remotely close.
Kobe played with all-stars Shaquille O’Neal, Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, and Pau Gasol. In addition to HOFer Shaq he played with sure fire HOFers Karl Malone and Gary Payton.
Jordan
Michael Jordan played with one all-star, that was Scottie Pippen. Jordan played with one HOF level player (Pippen). The best teammates he had other than Pippen were probably Horace Grant, Dennis Rodman, BJ Armstrong, Orlando Woolridge, Charles Oakley, Toni Kukoc, and Luc Longley?!
1. Has Kobe Bryant ever won 10 scoring titles?
2. Did Michael Jordan ever allow his team to lose by 39 in the NBA finals?
3. Did Magic Johnson ever say Kobe is the greatest of all time?
4. Did Michael Jordan ever blow a 24 point lead at home in the NBA Finals?
5. Was Michael Jordan ever the 2nd option on the team during the title runs?
6. Has Larry Bird said "God disguised as Kobe Bryant"?
So why Kobe fans?

Btw for those who will say Kobe scored 81 and MJ not even 70, FYI he did it in weak era when there is no 3 second defensive violation, no hand check rule etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xJJNUkrd yQ
And this just tell ya’ll how different is this defense’s era compare to Jordan’s era.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du-C-TvHq zA
At the 3rd answerer, how can I enjoy the damn game? when Kobe scored 40 in a game and suddenly those Kobe’ fans say he is better than MJ?
And yeah I did make those arguments just to test the water, and yup Kobe’s fans are sensitive usually, you’re 1 of them obviously.
Reason why I use those argument? Well just like ya’ll weak argument when ya’ll said Kobe got 81 in a game while MJ not even 70? Like you said they both played in different eras…and MJ did play in harder era than Kobe.
And I dislike how you chose to define the best when you asked, "Did Magic Johnson ever say Kobe is the greatest of all time?" and "Has Larry Bird ever said ‘God disguised as Kobe Bryant?" Those are very weak points, which I think weakens your whole argument….
LOL and what you Kobe’s fans did when LeBron said Kobe is the best player in NBA right now? you guys always pointing that out when it comes to LeBron Kobe questions, wow such a hypocrite huh?
Typical Kobe’s fan huh? When you have nothing to answer this, you change the topic?
Read my question, I didn’t ask about LeBron in here and btw we can’t compare Kobe and LeBron yet because Kobe has been playing for 13 seasons while LeBron only been in NBA for 7 years.
Fail….
Man stop made you look even worse than you all ready are….
I simply didn’t ask about LeBron, I will when I have to….
But we can compare MJ and Kobe because Kobe is in his 13th season right now, close to MJ’s career.
While LeBron is only in his 7th season, it’s not fair to compare him to Kobe yet….
KONJ, dude don’t make him cry lol……
Laker’s fan:
1. Ur a retard, the 1.5 extra years are his years in Washington, which actually LOWER his stats, so no, they’ve played the same amount of years, and MJ is WAY better
2. Ur also a liar. Larry Bird never said anything about Kobe. But he did say
"God Disguised as Michael Jordan"
3. Magic Johnson said "There’s Michael Jordan, and then there’s everyone else."
4. If you don’t know that MJ was always the first option, then you simply do not know anything.
5. If you think the 2000s are harder than the 90s, you can just leave right now. First off, it’s obvious that you are young, because anyone who has seen the 90s understands how much better it is. I’m guessing you just like the Lakers because they are the best team in the NBA, but you do need to realize that there are no hand checks, players can travel a lot more, there is a no charge zone, and players are shooting more free throws per game now than ever before. Look at MJ vs Kobe. Comparing the 90s of MJ to the last 5 years of Kobe, Kobe shoots 9.4 FTA compared to MJs 7.9. And MJ was more of a slasher, so should he be getting to the line more? Just shows how watered down the 2000s are.

Im a Kobe fan and a Jordan fan and I know that Jordan is better.
Basketball is the best. | Nov 18, 2009
Yes you are absolutely right
Obviously Michael is better than Kobe
And You’ve given a plethora of statistics 2 prove it
Nick | Nov 18, 2009
Ok first off…not every Kobe fanatic thinks that Kobe is better than MJ. I will say they played in two totally different era’s and if one were put in the others it would make the outcomes totally different. And I dislike how you chose to define the best when you asked, "Did Magic Johnson ever say Kobe is the greatest of all time?" and "Has Larry Bird ever said ‘God disguised as Kobe Bryant?" Those are very weak points, which I think weakens your whole argument. No Kobe has never done those things, but like I said, a different era and two totally different players. How about we stop trying to compare them and just enjoy the damn game like it was supposed to be enjoyed?
Arrick W | Nov 18, 2009
haha Kobe fan got owned. He had no answer for this
_______________________________
lakersrock3peat gave another nonsense answer.
all Bulls fans are bandwagoners because of MJ?
I looked at your profile you’re a New Orleans Saints and Lakers fan lmao.
I bet you didnt like the Saints until they were undefeated this season.
Kobe has done nothing to become better than Michael Jordan even by the time he retires. You’re no that knowledgable about basketball and you’ve shown it so I’ll let it go

You could make the same case for LeBron James. Why do LJ fans think that he is better than Kobe? Kobe has accomplished way more than LeBron.

lakers rock(3peat here we come | Nov 18, 2009
Jordan is better period….he’ll probably average 45ppg in this NO D era
who ever says kobe will be after he retires is an ******** ****** ****
DieAnna | Nov 18, 2009
Why do you hate kobe bryant? I am a huge kobe fan but i don’t say he is better than MJ.If anything I think people should be all over LeBron James for saying he is the king and just happens to pick #23 as his uniform number.No, kobe fans say that kobe is a jordan-like player, yes, but they never say he is better than the real #23.so LeBron can retire his number all he wants but he is really just doing it to look good because jordan gave an awful H.O.F. speech.Why do you think he wants everyone to retire the number too? basically all I’m trying to say is that kobe does not claim to be the next jordan he does not want to be the next jordan (no offense to M.J.)he wants to be Kobe Bryant. LeBron James does wnat to be the next jordan which nobody can ever be instead he should take a page out of kobe’s book and try to be his own player

Don’t pay attention to Kobe fans . They invent every day a million stories to help and over hype they beloved player .
The truth is that Jordan is slightly better than Kobe.
