OP is a got.
They should be as great as or better than Kobe/Shaq because they don't have the inflated egos. But for some reason they're not as effective.

OP is a got.
Comparing Kiwi to Kobe? C'mon OP. Maybe 2015 Kobe, but not in his prime.
if Kawhi could have the offensive skills of Kobe but the demeanor of Duncan, that would be the ultimate package.
OMG Kawhi/LaMarcus isn't as good together as the greatest duo in NBA history.
not something I had considered before
now I'm stressed out, fml
They're gonna be compared to the best duos in NBA History and Kobe/Shaq are their nearest comparisons
Lma will never be compared to shaq
But legit comparisons to no ring Stockton and weak ass Malone works
Man, if we can get a jazz like dominance in the league without Mike being GOAT I like our chances.
Aldridge isn't anywhere near the low post presence that prime shaq was. He has way more effective range but give shaq the ball inside of 10 feet and the ony defense was to foul.
No they aren't doofus. Nobody has and nobody will- unless they win multiple 'chips together.
Lol, that is so horrifyingly funny.
first of all, kobe has nver shot 50% for any season of his career. 2nd, kobe is the king of bad bad shots. 3rd, leonard will never average 25 ppg or more playign under popoovich. 4th, We don't know what leonard can do offensively playing under popovich.
greatest duo? 2 of their final wins came came agianst the 01 76ers(in which that 4-1 win was actually had some close games) and the 02 nets(in which we beat as well the next season). Kareem and Magic were better. At the time, Kobe wasn't even the best wing in the league. Tmac was having better seasons leading his team in multiple categories, but it makes a big difference when shaq is your center vs the likes of Declerq, and old Ewing, or old Kemp. Big Difference in playoff wins. We know what kobe does in his prime without a big man don't we?OMG Kawhi/LaMarcus isn't as good together as the greatest duo in NBA history.
Prime Kobe >>>>>>>>>> kawhi
prime shaq>>>>>>>>>>>> LMAlpha .
problem solved.
Looks like Joakim Noah in his childhood years TBH.
Nah. Prime Shaq is arguably the most dominant player of all-time, and Kobe in '01/02 was amazing as well. And lol @ bringing up the 2001/2002 Finals as some sort of knocks on them. Look at who Shaq/Kobe beat in the 2001/2002 playoffs (you know, there are 3 rounds before the Finals) and you'll see they beat some incredible compe ion. Meanwhile Magic and Kareem were playing in the West during the 80s when it was a joke conference.
I mean if you want to argue that Magic/Kareem were better because they had success over a longer period of time that's reasonable. But there has never been a duo as good as the peak of Shaq/Kobe.
A closer comparison would be Kobe/Gasol.
Even then im not sure if LMA could hold up to his end of the bargain.
Kareem was old by then, but Kobe was in prime second banana form.
Kawhi has not shown much of his ability as a playmaker, so the comparison is still not valid yet.
Are you saying aldridge and Shaqs comparison is?
I remember lurking clutchfans and saw someone post that aldridge/ kawhi were a poor man's harden/Howard.
