The Lakers should be fined with how they used Pau throughout the season. This is a product of Mike D'Antoni and his attempted implementation of a hybrid ty 7 secs or less offense.
i knew laker implosion would be, but never in my dreams did i think it would be a meltdown of these proportions, IMO TBH
Fact: No one can win without support.
Jordan had Pippen. Kobe had Pau. Which is greater?
Pippen wasnt a big man
And Pippen was the wingman
Like Kobe
truth bombs!
We know in the triangle Lakers version, PJax always utilizes his big men as the main guy, the workhorse, inside out, and the rest just follow the lead from there.![]()
dirk rang w/o no legit superstar playing alongside him imho. kidd is a legend but he was already 38yr something old by the time they rang, as much of a defensive beast as TC was, he had little to contribute at the offensive end. the rest of their 11' squad were all role players as well.
Jordan was a God, you cant keep using that argument against Kobe. It's an honor to always have the Kobe V Jordan debate.
he can't even come to the play offs without a top 2 center
its always laker fan kobe lovers that bring up the "kobe is as good as mj" crap.
"kobes the 2nd best player ever"
dont forget the international tournaments coat riding lebron james and wade to medals
kobe couldn't get past the first round in the 3 years between shaq and pau...
Last year with Bynum too.
Pau Gasol is one of the best big men of the league but he's not a ing jumpshooter.
Question is who was a better sidekick Kobe or Pippen?
Pippen 6 - Kobe 5
I'd pick Pip every day tbh
I always wonder if Lebron, Wade, Rose, CP3, or even Deron Williams could have won a ring with that loaded Lakers frontline and Phil Jackson.
Lebron, Wade, Rose and CP3 would surely have won it all, probably even with that 08 squad. Deron Williams, Utah version, is a maybe, I'd say.
Kobe vs a healthy TMac has always been a better comparison, IMO.
Pau has been under appreciated by both the Lakers and their fans for some time now. I believe that their troubles began as soon as they moved away from him as one of the focal points of the offense. For all the talk of Bynum vs Howard over who is the best big man in the league, the Lakers are at their best when Gasol is in the paint. His biggest issue is that he could not psychologically take being passed over for Bynum and Howard.
The strongest front court in the NBA (Bynum, Gasol, Odom) was collectively a much bigger advantage Pippen and the Bulls' mediocre front court.
Prime Tmac s on Kobe imo.
kobe cant win without derek the creator fisher![]()
