Who Betta?

In the wake of three tough Portland losses, what betta way to clear the air and start a fresh week than with another installment of the Kobestoppers' Who Betta? segment. Here goes.

Who betta than Kobe? Why it's Greg "The Oyster" Ostertag!



A quick youtube search of Greg Ostertag finds a plethora of highlights and mix tapes. For instance, check out this classic display of athleticism:



Have you ever seen Kobe Bryant do ANYTHING resembling this? I thought not.

How about this one:



Sure, Kobe finishes on the (lucky) reverse two-handed jam, but did you see the FEAR in his eyes as Ostertag converged on him near the hoop? Kobe wasn't trying to score; he was trying to get rid of the ball so he could run as far away from The Oyster as possible. Smart move, Mamba, smart move.

What's that? Kobe jumped over a car? Sure, that seems impressive, until you've seen THIS:



That's right, look at Ostertag, with the beautiful backhanded flip. Notice how he lets the ball bounce twice on his side: VETERAN MOVE. You can't teach that.

The final tally:

Kobe: 12 years pro, 1 MVP, 3 Championships, Women banged: at least 2.
Ostertag: 11 years pro, 2 teams, 1 haircut, Women banged: likely 0.

Who betta? You decide.
