Has anyone ever thought that maybe Laker "fans" are the real haters?

You're right. MJ would never put up a performance like Kobe's last night. I remember hearing those idiot announcers saying Kobe deserves the MVP even if the Celtics win. These people just look at the total points and say "oh, Kobe dominated, he must be the best player ever". It's all a bunch of Laker fans and idiots who know nothing about the NBA or its history.
