5 star thread, book into the hall of fame
Si señor, he sure is!!! Top 20 player of all-time shoved down peoples throats as a borderline Top 5 player.
lol spurfan, bashing Kobe won't stop the spurs from auditioning scrubs and the Lakers from getting that 17th. Now calm down and enjoy another great Laker season![]()
Think Celticfan's more scared because you're gonna catch up. Or Heatfan because they're no longer the only staaaaaacked team...

they need a new face of the league after jordan retired and they chose kobe, dude sells tickets and jerseys especially in the oversea markets. he won 3 rings under shaq's wings and another two with pau accompanying him, but when he played alone the best result he achieved was 1st round exit tbh
Jesus christ, is everything about Kobe Bryant in this forum?
It's the easiest topic to create when you're bored. Post something about Kobe on both sides of the coin, and you're sure to get replies.
Plus he deliberately mimics MJ.![]()

Like this means anything. Jordan fell flat on his face when he had no help.
Jordan's Bulls without Pippen:
78 wins 86 Losses (under .500 both seasons)
1-6 playoff record
And this doesn't count the Bulls year he was injured most of the season or his no-Pippen results would have been worse. He likely would have had another under .500 record and been swept by the Celtics in the 1st round that year.
Jordan without Pippen overall:
152 wins 176 losses
1-6 playoff record (Two first round exits and missed playoffs twice)
The Goods. I wonder if even BR will attempt tothis .
Props.![]()
Jordan without Pippen (a career 2nd banana), lost in the 1st round, scored a playoff record 63 points in a game against one of the best teams in NBA history.
Kobe with the most stacked frontline in the league, lost in the 1st round, refused to shoot against one of the most under achieving teams in the 00s.
No, LBJ is.
the fakers arent w/o the rapist.
Career second bannana? lol. So dismissive of a guy who was making all-nba first teams, considered by many to be the best perimeter defender in NBA history, and a guy who Jordan was never able to take his team above .500 without.![]()
Completely re ed argument. What would Kobe have done in his first 3 seasons without Shaq? Jack . Jordan made Pippen what he was. Kobe benefited greatly from team's triple teaming Shaq in his early years while Jordan was putting up 60+ on one of the best teams ever.
Jordan had Pip, Rodman, and Kukoc while Kobe has had Shaq, Malone, Payton, Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Nash, and Howard. Everyone needs help, but some need more help than others.
Was Jordan ever second banana to Pippen like Kobe was to Shaq ?
It's all about cir stances my friend. If Jordan joined the Lakers out of high school with Shaq at the top of his game, the offense would have run through Shaq. And if you try to claim otherwise you are an idiot or a liar.
You miss the point. Someone posted Kobe never got out of the first round without help. That's true, but neither did Jordan, which makes that argument completely re ed.

It's true. Like I said bruh, everyone needs help, some just need more help than others (i.e. Kobe needed more help than Jordan) but in the end they still needed help. even god needed jesus
Are you trying to argue Pippen WASN'T a career second banana? Pippen was great, the best perimeter defender of all time, probably the best point forward of all time too, but he is still a career 2nd banana, because he's playing next to Jordan.
Oh wait, I forgot I am talking to a Laker fan, who would stop at nothing to prop up their false idol Kobe, even if it means making himself look like a fool.
BTW, not only was Pippen a second banana, he was the 2nd banana of 2nd bananas, because he will never be the best 2nd banana in the history of the league, Kobe has that locked up.
Not sure why I even bother with this. Kobe was second banana like Magic was second banana to Kareem when he was a young player. It doesn't mean anything in the big picture since it was all about cir stances. Jordan would have been second banana to Kareem and Shaq as a young player joining an already established star. It wouldn't have made Jordan a lesser player.
But I have a pretty good idea why you didn't bother with the other point though, because you couldn't. Pippen was a career 2nd banana, and that was that.
As for Kobe being a 2nd banana, the difference is that Magic tied, or was close to Kareem's accomplishments later in his career. Kobe never took the Lakers to the heights Shaq did against weaker compe ion and a more balanced supporting cast.
Also, Magic never missed the playoffs.
