Kobe is now the Lakers 2nd best player

[Tiago Splitter]

That was never the issue for any of Jordan's six rings.

[HarlemHeat37]

Kobe's best role during his career has been as a sidekick, scary for the rest of the league, tbh..

son Kobe has only been the clear cut choice for the Lakers best player from 2004-2007 whenever he didn't have Shaq, Gasol, and others to hold his hand every step of the way. this is not my opinion, but pure fact. see below ...

sons I posted this in another thread, but for those of you not viewing it I didn't want you to miss these truth bombs.


what did Kobe do during that 3 and a half year span when he didn't have daddy there? oh yea that's right! he didn't do !!!

Kobe as team leader without Shaq or Gasol ...


2004-05

Lakers: 34-48 (failed to even make playoffs)


2005-06

Lakers: 45-37 (stomped out by PHX in first round)


2006-07

Lakers: 42-40 (stomped out by PHX again in first round)


2007-08

Kobe cries to be traded because he knows he can't lead a team so Stern sends him Gasol and the Lakers immediately hit a 10 game winning streak that started on Gasol's third game as a Laker and they finish the season 27-9 since Gasol's arrival.

lol sons he led the Lakers to a 121-125 record during the 3 seasons without Shaq.

I knew he was pathetic as a leader, but I didn't realize it was that bad.

He could be the 12th best as long as he helps us win les. Who cares? Oh that’s right, all you obsessed types who know what's coming and the only solace you have is ripping our 18 year veteran. As if that diminishes our joy or rains on our parade route.

The only thing all these posts or threads do for us real Laker fans is acknowledge how truly insecure most of you are. It’s quite beautiful to see. Keep em coming!

Yeah, If the haters watch as we pile up the chips--I say 'em...let them rot rooting for the Spurs or whatever. It's just fortunate the Lakers' FO aint a bunch of do-nothings or whatnot. From the days of Magic and on to the future, as long as the Buss Empire runs --things won't be exciting in the City of Angels.

This is lolable really. I'm assuming you just see it as coincidence but the Lakers giving away nothing to get a reasonable big in Pau and once again giving away nothing ultimately to get Dwight. The Lakers are just lucky they get the ratings and thus NBA helps them get the best. There is no way in the T-Wolves would ever get Dwight and give away nothing.

So then, Kangaroo Jack, do you explain the Knicks? Playing in a larger metropolitan area than L.A., has just as big of a t.v. contracat and monetary support as the Lakers do but yet, they are run inadequately even with all those resources? It is somewhat luck, but if you're going on the 33rd year of having some starpower and being a playoff contender, it isn't just 'luck' it is the ability for the FO to do something. Because if it was warranted by how one' stance in the financial upwind of the league, Dolan would even have a le contending team or Chicago would have been able to flip the script. So be it if you're going to weird out on some conspiracy theory. it. Orlando had other offers and the league could've forced their hand to N.Y. or Brooklyn I mean but it didn't. So I'll take whatever suits up with the PnG and stand behind them.

Let's take a look at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Do you know who that is? Well, He was a 6x Champion, 2x Finals MVP, 6x MVP, 2nd in Playoff points, and #1 in regular season points. After he got traded from to the Lakers in 1975, he did not have a great player until 1979-1980 season when his team got Magic Johnson. You want to know what Kareem did without Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson while he was in his prime?

1974-75: 38-44, Missed the Playoffs
1975-76: 40-42, Missed the Playoffs

And I would like for you to explain me how Pau Gasol has been better than Kobe from 2008-2012?

2007-08
All-Star: Kobe - Yes, Pau - No
All-NBA: Kobe - 1st team, Pau - None
MVP: Kobe - Won award (1st), Pau - Not a single vote

2008-09
All-Star: Kobe - Yes, Pau - Yes
All-NBA: Kobe - 1st team, Pau - 3rd team
MVP: Kobe - 2nd place, Pau - Not a single vote
Finals MVP: Kobe - Won award, Pau - No

2009-10
All-Star: Kobe - Yes, Pau - Yes
All-NBA Team: Kobe - 1st team, Pau - 3rd team
MVP: Kobe - 3rd place, Pau - Not a single vote
Finals MVP: Kobe - Won award, Pau - No

I could go on, but there is no point

Who is he coattailing? Dwight "no rings before Kobe" Hward? OTOH, what you are saying is spot on for LeBron - if you catch my drift.

Dodging my question

I'm not dodging anything. He won. Question is, will he repeat? They need to match up with dem boys in my signature. I don't think they can unless they get more help down low.

[namlook]

Funny how none of these guys ever got a ring before they joined Kobe.
