Okur is right. Kobe is like MJ in his propensity to sneak up on ball handlers from their blind side.

Remember in that famous final playoff game in 1998, the one where Jordan pushed off on Bryon before burying his winning shot? On that sequence he got the ball in the first place by sneaking around behind Malone and plucking the ball out of his hands like an apple off a tree. If Karl hangs on to that, the series is tied 3-3 and the Jazz have the momentum.

Ask Raja Bell how to handle the arrogant, narcisistic, Jordan Wannabe, its called
a Clotheslining..not intentional mind you.
Put Millsap on him, rough him up, till he
says uncle.

I TOTALY agree. We need play Kobe Like Raja played kobe, it takes him (as much as possible) out of his game, just a quick hard foul here or there just to keep him out of his rythm.
