JAZZ AND LAKERS RENEWING RIVALRY!

Break out those memories of John Stockton, Jeff Hornacek and Karl Malone versus Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

Here comes Deron Williams, Andrei Kirilenko, Memo Okur and Carlos Boozer versus Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Derek Fisher.

Game 4 was a classic game that should be appearing in BTV's greatest games in a year or two.
You've got two great teams, great defensive plays, highlight reels, a buzzer beater, overtime...

The only thing missing was a fistfight and the game didn't even need that.

So now we go to LA, all tied up. Advantage still goes to the Lakers but man, do they know they're in a fight!

Two thumbs up for Kirilenko for the great defensive play. This from a guy who came into the season demanding a trade (just like Kobe), made up with his coach (just like Kobe), found his role (just like Kobe) and is now flourishing (just like Kobe)

So i guess he's the Russian Kobe.
