“I told Mike Woodson a thousand times that I don’t pick and roll on Shabbos! Saturday is Shabbos, the Jewish day of rest. That means that I don’t work on defense, I don’t pass the ball, I don’t hedge on screens, I don’t rotate on shooters, I don’t turn on the oven, and I sure as shit don’t pick and roll!”
(Thankfully for the Knicks, tipoff will occur just after sunset tonight.)

Steph Curry’s outside shots were too much like his mouthpiece in Game 6: half-in, half-out.

Michael was more likely to break through his attackers with power and strength, while Kobe often tries to finesse his way through mass pileups. Michael was stronger, with bigger shoulders and a sturdier frame. He also had large hands that allowed him to control the ball better and make subtle fakes. Jordan was also more naturally inclined to let the game come to him and not overplay his hand, whereas Kobe tends to force the action, especially when the game isn’t going his way. When his shot is off, Kobe will pound away relentlessly until his luck turns. Michael, on the other hand, would shift his attention to defense or passing or setting screens to help the team win the game
— Phil Jackson points out the differences, as he sees it, between Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in an excerpt from his forthcoming book Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success.
