Lakaluva: "Chris Bosh is better in every facet of the game than Pau Gasol."

great thread, mid ting on luva...

So the guy with the weird mustache picture has backed himself up with these hard facts:

1. An Amare quote.
2. 1 Christmas day game.
3. Saying Bosh had better stats even after he didn't.

What is it like to have an inferiority complex where you can't admit your wrong?

Everybody in the NBA knows Chris Bosh is a complete joke including his own teammates. Yeah, he's good for a 15 foot jump shot but so was Bill Wennington.

He's even admitted he doesn't play like a big man and he's afraid to get physical down low. He has no post game and plays no defense.

Bosh does have people like your stupid ass to thank. It's people like you that hyped him into "superstar" conversation and got him a near max deal. He's paid the same as Lebron despite being a soft small forward in a power forward's body. He's a ing joke and doesn't even know it.

You think Bosh is better than Gasol. You're stupid as . Bosh couldn't hold down the middle against JJ Barea.

Where has Kobe ever been without Shaq or Pau?

Answer: Nowhere.

The great and untouchable Kobe got scorched by the lameass Phoenix Suns in the first round in back to back years.

Soon as Pau comes they're a championship team.

First round to championship squad. The difference: the guy being bashed. Gasol is the Lakers savior. If Jerry West hadn't dealt under the table, the Lakers would be the Denver Nuggets.

Pau Gasol 11.9 Win Shares
Kobe Bryant 8.6 Win Shares
Lamar Odom 8.4 Win Shares

LeBron James 11.6 Win Shares
Dwyane Wade 9.3 Win Shares
Chris Bosh 7.3 Win Shares

Win Shares tell you how much of an impact on wins a player has. The Lakers are led by Gasol (.233 W/S per 48) followed by Odom (.192) and ending with Bryant at (.187)

The Heat, on the other hand, are led by LeBron (.233 W/S per 48), Wade (.200), and at the end of the pack Bosh (.161).

Gasol, for the last 2 seasons, has been THE BEST player on the Lakers. Bosh, on the other hand, is the 3rd best on his team, on a WORSE team.

I merged three Bosh threads together.
He's not good enough to have three threads in the top 10.

Bosh can't crack 50% shooting playing with two of the top 5 players in the league

[Pelicans78]

To be honest, the Lakers were doing well before Bynum's injury which kinda led to the Gasol trade.

This just in: Great players don't win championships by themselves, they do it with good supporting casts. It's that way for Kobe, just like it is for Timmmay, just like it is for KG, just like it was for Shaq, and just like it was for Magic and Kareem.

Even Michael Jordan, the GOAT himself, went a combined 1-9 in the playoffs in the three years before Pippen got there and had a losing record both years, despite the fact that he was dominating the league already as an individual.

And in other news, water is wet.

lol Bosh. If Pau was on that heat team they'd have the best record in the league IMO.

[Muser]

To be fair to Jordan he did take that bulls team to 3 straight ECF iirc, and there's no real shame in losing to one of the best defensive teams of all time in the bad boy Pistons.

[jmill]

Difference being while Michael, Tim, shaq, etc all had help, they were always option 1a. Kobe has arguably always been 1b

Meh, this doesn't really argue against the point I'm making in my post. It's not about if Kobe was as good as MJ or Shaq, it's that pointing out that xxxx didn't do well by himself in the playoffs isn't a good way to try and criticize a player, and I would think it's obvious why.

That being said, I do think Kobe was the clear #1 on the 09 Championship team, and I think he was 1a last year, mostly because of his performance in the playoffs (yes, I know how awful he shot in game 7 of the finals, but there were 23 games in the playoffs and he was beastly overall.)

If the referee has to blow his nose in a Lakers/Heat game, who would he use for his tissue, Gasol, or Bosh? If he tried LeBron or Artest, his nose would get broken.

It's funny because prior to this year Spurfan overrated the out of Chrissy Bosh.

Although you tried to hedge by saying "good supporting casts", it's nice for you to make my point for me - Gasol is a legit star.
