Sure he is. Probably top 9.
At this point, is he a top 10 player?
hhmm, yeah probably.
howEVA!
No debate as the 2nd best player; that's D-Whistle.
no surprises here
what happens when the refs are no longer on your side? you lose
again no trash talk
You'd be a dumbass to think Kobe and his 30% shooting belongs in the Top 10 list.
ing Westbrook>Kobe right now
Top 20.
2010 body, 2005 mind. Thats the goddamn problem with his ass.
He's human just like Duncan and they are getting old, father time doesn't forgive anyone
Probably. After the top-4, you can go in a lot of different ways. 10-15 guys more or less at the same level.
Check your panties for purple and gold blood
lol Bynum
you arent being sarcastic there. it actually happened.
If I were an LA fan I'd be happy about this. Better to get this Kobe chucking game out of the way in the first round.
I swear he has to relearn how to trust his teammates every year. He started to realize it towards the very end of today's game, but by then, the Thunder were already running out with the win.
Well who are ya'lls rank 2 through 10 players, let's see if we can name 9 people better than kobe.
bronbron is obviously rank 1, no argument there
lebron, nowitzki, dwade, kevin durant, dwight howard, tim duncan are top 10. I'll continue to add as obvious ones come to mind.
edit again: actually i dont know about durant vs kobe. if we're looking strictly last few months, then yes durant is better than kobe.
Bull . He ONLY realized it after he ing chucked up 8 BRICKS in a row and SOMEBODY probably said something (i doubt it was phil). then he started playing team ball and we actually had a few passes and what do you know...we scored.
The lakers had 7 pts in the 4Q with 5 minutes left...they finished with 21....
in the playoffs right now?
bron
durant
dwight
dirk
gasol
manu
westbrook
derrick rose
melo
deron
nash
amare
So whats bull about my post? I didn't say Kobe willingly trusted his teammates today. It took him 18 missed shots to realize that, but at least for LA he realized that at the end of the game (or so it seemed).
This is the biggest flaw in Kobe's game and year after year he needs to relearn. Sometimes it takes a game like this for him to realize it whether it be learning from himself or a teammate actually standing up to him.
So I still don't get your post.
WIth how Kobe's finger is that is too easy. I don't know if Kobe is just injured this year and will be healthy next year or if thats it...and Kobe is done.
But as of RIGHT NOW
LeBron
Dwight
Wade
Deron
Dirk
Melo
Durant
Westbrook
Rose
Stephen Jackson
Gerald Wallace maybe?
Joe Johnson
B Roy
Nash
Amare
Duncan
Manu
.........
i agree. Guess I am just mad. I agree with you.
Kobe - 29 shots
Gasol, Odom, Bynum - 28 shots
The mother ing DAY after "shoot better or shoot less". You can't even write this .
wow forgot about melo. damn, too many names who are definitively playing better than kobe at the moment.
i don't think i'm ready for the beginning of the end for kobe. he deserves a steady, step-wise decline, not this fall off the cliff B.S. he's going through.
i'd like to see him start by deferring to gasol more. that'd be a good start. start with low FGA efficient scoring, and slowly work your way up.
we wont know until next year
i refuse to believe kobe would absolutely fall of a cliff like this.
im positive its him somewhat SLOWLY declining but coupled with the injuries it makes it look HORRID.
there is still no excuse for how he is playing though. ZERO excuse. 29 nig shots.
29
Gasol + Odom + Bynum shots?
28
ME.
us picc. us.
Kobe basically took a dump on Phil's advice. Kobe's inner Iverson came out tonight.
