If its a les thing.... the all is settled... Bill Russell is the GOAT. End of story.
You guys act like Kobe didn't average 30/7/6 in the playoffs when Shaq was on his team. You can say Kobe wasn't even the best player on his team... but he was the 2nd best player in the league if that was the case.
That didn't answer my question, Ashraf.
Any idiot could see that the more fair matchup is Pippen/Gasol and Ariza/Kukoc.
So because you think if Pippen is better then Gasol then Kobe has to better then Jordan? what kind of messed up logic is that? Kobe is good but Jordan is the greatest of all time and Kobe isn't even the best Laker of all time. Magic Johnson holds that le. One can make the argument that Kobe isn't even a top 5 Laker. theres Magic, West, Shaq, Kareem, and Wilt.
Bull Pippen was a SF and Gasol was PF
If Pippen > Gasol then Kobe did more with less...
You would actually put Pippen on Ariza. Damn.
last time i checked a basketball team has more then just two players on each team. Also you have to look at the compe ion they each faced in the league. Also the rule were different 10 years ago. you were able to body up a wing player now you cant even sneeze without a foul being called. It was much harder for Jordan to lead his team then Kobe to lead his
the 2009 lakers would get destroyed by some 90s team the bulls had to face.
Did you forget the other 10 guys on the rosters?
90s Bulls Bench > Lakers Bench
May I say more?
So now it's about the bench? What about if Pippen>>Gasol???
Make up your mind.
WTF you talking about you're the one that brought up the bench and I responded to it.
So you admit it's about the bench, and not just the 2nd player.
What point are you trying to convey here. You're just making it worse by bringing up the bench. The Bulls Bench is far >>>>>>>> then the Lakers bench so now you can say Kobe won with MUCH MUCH less than MJ did...
He didn't need as much as MJ to take down the Magic. You honestly think this year's Magic could have taken down those who faced the Bulls in the 90s?
Each statement irrelevant to the other in regards to what you're trying to prove.
I can't believe you just compared a Hall of Famer and greatest perimeter defender of all time to a soft all-star with nice post moves
Where am I saying Gasol > Pippen
No you re each statement is a response to your post....
This probably doesn't mean a whole lot, but I'd take any of the 6 teams Jordan beat in the Finals over the Magic. And I'd probably take the Suns & both Jazz teams over last year's Celtics.
I should have read the entire thread.
Tacker's threads are the best. Why do we need Bill Simmons anymore?
