I won't bother making predictions although I belive the Celtics will ultimately win.
As for your quote, Simmons is on point. Truth is, anybody arguing that Kobe plays at Jordan's level or anywhere near it really doesn't know basketball (either did not watch Jordan, or is caught up in Kobe fanfare to the point of delusion).
