the tired old bag.
tee, hee.
Thought I would throw my 2 cents worth in.
Many Lakers fans overrate Kobe, and many Kobe haters underrate him.
He was not a sidekick to Shaq during that 3 peat run, or at least it hasn't been proven with fact, only with opinion. Here's some fact to start with if anyone wishes to to try and finalize it, one way or the other.

From that example alone, the proof is Kobe was not a sidekick. Go to work Kobe lovers and haters, settle it with fact, then we can all shut up about it.
Want to know who the biggest sidekick in NBA championship history is?
Bill Russell.
The arguiment against Kobe is Shaq was the go to guy. How many times was Bill Russell the go to guy? How about none? He was primarily a defensive anchor, and any big man could have won as many les with his stacked teams. Russell grabbed rebounds and sent an outlet pass and Cousy and Sharman ran the fast break. Havlicek and Sam Jones were no slouches either.
Here's some facts.
MJ is the greatest player in NBA history by majority opinion.
Kobe may be the best player since Jordan, again by opinion.
Duncan is probably a better player than Kobe, but it can't be proven either way, they play two different positions.
Kobe and Duncan will be gone in a few years and new players to love and hate will come along. Believe me, I can't wait.![]()
5 rings, 2 Finals MVPs: more than enough to compensate for one regular season MVP. He's not done writing his career yet (okay, insert here spurfan jokes that he's done), and I fully expect him to have two more cracks at a 6th ring before he starts writing the end of his career.
Lots of people here are just butthurt that he's had such an accomplished career despite being a snitch, and having a rape case drop in his head. That's what you call hard work, determination and drive, folks.
And your losing to the 8th seeded Grizzlies - so much to be proud of there.
How many without Shaq or Pau Gasol? ROFL
Ask Phil Jackson if he would have rather had Duncan or Kobe on his team. I'm sure his answer will be the most efficient player of the decade, and not the SG who takes 65 shots to make 26 points.
He had Shaq, Bynum, Gasol, and Odom. Your argument is invalid.
Forgot to mention in their primes, my mistake.
Btw, don't mention Bynum, Gasol, or Odom. I know you're not comparing them to Duncan, but they really are rubbish in contrast.
So if you compare Duncan and Malone the rings mean nothing? Yeah right.
If you compare Duncan and Malone, you get a superior dominant power forward, and a way above average power forward.
I smell skunk.
Kobe and Gasol are both winless against Dirk in the playoffs. Just saying![]()
Let Kobe win first against Dirk in the playoffs and then we'll talk.
ezau
hypocrite
turncoat
glory hunter
bashing the Mavs to no end before they won
now using the Mav card to insult the Lakers
losing to an 8th seed
Uh, uh. None of that crapola. We're talking now:::
Kobe: 5
tired old bag Duncan: 4
The Skunker!!!
kobe would have won with over the hill horry, oberto, mohammed, elson, rasho. kobe couldnt do with brown and odom who both are better than everyone of the bigs i posted
with parker being a scoring PG he would have been useless with a ballhog like kobe. manu would have been able to play with kobe becasue hes a playmaker. bowen would have taken care of defense.
yea that was established about him when he first joined the site. believe it or not his first posts where worse than they are now.
Kobe: 5
tired old bag Duncan: 4
Stings, don't it?
tee, hee.
Let us proceed...
