[@koolkai4299]

The difference between Kobe and Melo in this game was Kobe's defensive prowess in key moments

[@blackout2430]

And experience lol

[@namos3369]

The difference between them was that ref’s call for a jump ball coz the ball actually touched the rim and melo was in a scoring position and leading by 2, they were gonna win it

Melo should of been ROTY

[@Viral_offix]

they robbed melo

[@pjmcray101]

I totally agree. Either Melo and Lebron should've been co-ROY or Melo should've won it out right because Bron and Melo had basically the same numbers and Melo led his team to the playoffs in the tough Western conference

Am I the only who who see a lot of smart basketball in these highlights

[@johntedbaylosis7652]

That wrong call cost the game, thats the difference b4 and nows game, they should have reviewed it first before making a final call.

[@michaeliverson5789]

They Did Reviewed It And The Refs Still Gave Lakers The Ball But Melo Fouled Kobe Anyway For That Rebound

[@tonyr248-1]

If only Melo stayed at this weight his whole career
