World’s Greatest
I rarely watch golf, but last weekened, Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate gave me an exceptional reason to tune into the US Open, and I am so happy I did. Golf hasn't been this interesting in a long time, let alone interesting enough to be watchable. Tiger was Tiger, and hit clutch shot after clutch shot. But I give many props to Rocco who battled all the way back and made it a contest during the playoff. A lot of writers and journalists are giving Tiger the world's greatest golfer title, and he probably does deserve it after last weekends performance, it was amazing.
And then there's Kobe Bryant, the media proclaimed best all-around basketball player in the world and in a lot of ways he is. Though the comparisons to Michael Jordan must stop, besides a couple of moves that Bryant emulates of MJs, they aren't the same. MJs ability to take over the game still amazes me to this day, and while Kobe can do it sometimes, MJ did it on a consistent and regular basis. MJ would never let his team lose a game when they were up 24 points. I'm hoping Kobe can step up tonight and live up to what people want him to be. For him to force a game 7, and maybe even win the NBA Finals with 3 straight wins would be amazing. And then I could call him the World's Greatest, until then, he's just a cheater and a whiner, but i still support him.
