Open Question: Jordan: There are very few Kobe’s out there… Agree or not.???.?

ESPN – March 23, 2010, 11:42 AM ET There are very few Kobe Bryants out there. LeBron hasn’t won yet. Dwyane Wade had Shaq [O'Neal] sitting next to him and he had Pat Riley coaching him. So there are a lot of other components that come into play to say if you’re an NBA championship team, Jordan said. Detroit did a great job in winning and they had no one superstar on that team. Boston won with three All-Stars. The Lakers won with two All-Stars.

Wizards keep the streak alive

HOUSTON — Andray Blatche got fouled and leaned to his left as his fall-away jumper banked off the backboard. After watching his shot fall, Blatche whirled around, pumped his fist, kicked out his leg and screamed. He later made the free throw to give the Washington Wizards a five-point lead over the Houston Rockets with less than five minutes remaining in Tuesday night’s contest.

‘I was thinking there was no way we could lose this game,’ Blatche said.

Blatche had 31 points at the time, having little trouble working around Rockets undersized center Chuck Hayes or anyone else thrown against him. And therein was the problem. Because as the game continued, Blatche refused to believe that the Rockets could stop him. But not only did the Rockets figure out how to keep Blatche silent the rest of the night, they also held the Wizards to just one meaningless field goal the rest of the game, resulting a disappointing 98-94 loss at Toyota Center.
