I'll ignore most stupidity, but explain the bolded son. SMDH
Caption: I can't wait to evict this fat ...
...after The Big Eviction! boiled down:
Kobe: 2
Shaq: 1
MJ with Pip: 6
MJ without his crutch:
Let us proceed.![]()
Post-Shaq Era (2004 to 2007)
When Shaq left for the Eastern Conference, LA stumbled considerably, going 121-125 over the next three seasons. When Kobe played, they were 111-111, and without him were 10-14. The Lakers suffered little dropoff without their star guard on the floor, much like during the Shaq Era.
Bynum-Gasol Era (2007 to 2009)
Andrew Bynum came into his own during the ’07-08 season and gave LA a double-double center for 35 games. After he was lost for the season, the Grizzlies rather magnanimously sent Pau Gasol westward for a handful of beans. Both big men played a majority of this past season in the frontcourt with the severely underrated Lamar Odom; the trio averaged a spectacular 45 points and 26 rebounds. During these two seasons, the Lakers went 111-32 when either Bynum or Gasol played. Guess what their record was when neither of them appeared. I’ll give you a hint; they were consistently around .500 for the previous nine seasons when it was up to Kobe to win games. Well, they were 11-10.
A player who is truly great can pull his team above .500 without relying on a great frontcourt to bail him out. Bryant has never done this. LeBron James’ Cavaliers have been 211-117 (.643) over the past four years without anything resembling Shaq or the combination of Gasol/Bynum/Odom. Chris Paul’s Hornets have dramatically improved from 18-64 four years ago to 105-59 (.640) during the past two seasons, even with Tyson Chandler’s production falling off the table and David West’s output remaining relatively stagnant. Michael Jordan’s Bulls of the ‘90s had no real center to speak of, but he did quite well paired with Scottie Pippen’s production (22 and 7 from 1991 to 1998), which is slightly better than Odom’s (15 and 10 from 2004 to 2009).
Lakers are 1-0 when Kobe scores 55 or more points on a legend. Visual proof:
Now let me see your monkeyass try tothis visual .

Kobe Carmelo Bryant
Deflecting once again
Who misses the playoffs in their prime? Oh that's right. Kobe
Before you claim AARP membership, last yer Kobe was in his 17th year in the league. No one dropped 55 on him. Matter of fact, he was the one still kicking ass until he blew out his Achilles. Facts son.
Kicking ass right to the 8th seed. Fact son.
Do you ever watch the vid of Kobe kicking your ass? I d![]()
I would watch vids of his clutch finals but I can't seem to find any videos.
He just won a rang the year before. What's your point? It was his 15th year. By comparison, here's Kobe's stat line in his 15th year:
27.3 ppg
5.6 rpg
6.0 apg
No excuses for Snaq son.![]()
34-48 the first non contending year
D'antoni's defense rated 28th and 23rd out of 30
Kobe still couldn't beat those defensive juggernauts
All NBA defense
Missing playoffs in prime
111-111 without Gasol, Shaq, or Bynum
losing with Kwame Brown shooting above 50%
Kwame with a better shooting percentage than Kobe
Consider your Finals det year as Kobe kicking your ass.
...and I've already debunked your theory. You played 1-defensive team in the Finals. The rest tried to outs score you guys.at you puffing your chest out for beating Thunder Dan, Byron Scott, Jeff H
rnacek, and Bryon Russell. Stiff compe ion there.

Kobe having Shaq, Gasol, Bynum and Odom ALL dominating the paint, drawing double teams with Kobe WIDE open, still shooting 40%. Jesus H. Christ.
Maaaaaaaaaaaddd as about Kobe kicking your ass, I see?![]()
also ROFL at posting videos of young Kobe dropping 55 on a 40 year old Jordan![]()

15th DeflectionYou startin to look like JJ Watt in here.
BSPN. The author is a card carrying Laker hater. He's actually paid to write bull .![]()
Kobe's only highlights, if you youtube "Kobe's NBA Finals highlights", it redirects you to Derek Fisher, Shaq, Gasol, and odom![]()
I hope you realize the whole Jordan didn't win without Pip argument is ing re ed considering Jordan played two full seasons before Pippen was drafted and they played the majority of their careers on the same team
History says MJ was still good enough to play. , at 80 he can still dunk. Kobe just effortlessly ethered det ass. That's why MJ still picks him over Brawn.
Prime?
ignoring the evidence
insinuating the ESPN wouldn't do whatever they could to suck the Lakers off
pretending that ESPN doesn't suck the Lakers off
ESPN Laker/Magic Johnson paid hater conspiracy
