Kobe cant win without Pau

[lefty]

it's a fact

[Clipper Nation]

Pau carried Kirby to his post-Shaq ringsPERIOD

[KaiRMD1]

Reality.....

[irishock]

:lol Europe

[thunderup]

The Lakers should be fined with how they used Pau throughout the season. This is a product of Mike D'Antoni and his attempted implementation of a hybrid shitty 7 secs or less offense.

i knew laker implosion would be, but never in my dreams did i think it would be a meltdown of these proportions, IMO TBH

[Kobe Bean Bryant]

Fact: No one can win without support.

Jordan had Pippen. Kobe had Pau. Which is greater?

Pippen wasnt a big man

We know in the triangle Lakers version, PJax always utilizes his big men as the main guy, the workhorse, inside out, and the rest just follow the lead from there. :tu

[Latarian Milton]

dirk rang w/o no legit superstar playing alongside him imho. kidd is a legend but he was already 38yr something old by the time they rang, as much of a defensive beast as TC was, he had little to contribute at the offensive end. the rest of their 11' squad were all role players as well.

Jordan was a God, you cant keep using that argument against Kobe. It's an honor to always have the Kobe V Jordan debate.

[Raven]

he can't even come to the play offs without a top 2 center

"kobes the 2nd best player ever"

[TDMVPDPOY]

[spurraider21]

kobe couldn't get past the first round in the 3 years between shaq and pau...

Last year with Bynum too.

Pau Gasol is one of the best big men of the league but he's not a fucking jumpshooter.

Question is who was a better sidekick Kobe or Pippen?

Pippen 6 - Kobe 5


I'd pick Pip every day tbh

[ambchang]

I always wonder if Lebron, Wade, Rose, CP3, or even Deron Williams could have won a ring with that loaded Lakers frontline and Phil Jackson.

Lebron, Wade, Rose and CP3 would surely have won it all, probably even with that 08 squad. Deron Williams, Utah version, is a maybe, I'd say.

Kobe vs a healthy TMac has always been a better comparison, IMO.

[mercos]

Pau has been under appreciated by both the Lakers and their fans for some time now. I believe that their troubles began as soon as they moved away from him as one of the focal points of the offense. For all the talk of Bynum vs Howard over who is the best big man in the league, the Lakers are at their best when Gasol is in the paint. His biggest issue is that he could not psychologically take being passed over for Bynum and Howard.

The strongest front court in the NBA (Bynum, Gasol, Odom) was collectively a much bigger advantage Pippen and the Bulls' mediocre front court.

Prime Tmac shits on Kobe imo.

[Jt.ONE]

kobe cant win without derek the creator fisher :cry

[Brunodf]

Grass is green

[wanggi]

Without Pau, Lakers are just Fakers. Mark my words.

[nowhereman523]

Pau had one bad series against the Mavs. Result? Kobe got swept.

[Latarian Milton]

pau never had a good series against them mavs imho. when he was playing in memphis he didn't win a single game in the playoffs and dirk always made him his bitch everytime they played. can't remember even a single game in the playoffs where pau and his team beat dirk's team tbh

[dunkman]

If I recall right Pau as the guy to go in Memphis used to make the playoffs - even when Kobe missed.
