Lakers: Lol Lakersground: Part 3

[DAF86]

This is hilarious.



The '09/10 Lakers would be 2nd round fodder in the current West.

I also love the "'03 Lakers were worn out!" excuses. Sure, I grant them the fact that the '03 Lakers were weaker than the 3 peat teams, but that team, still featuring two of the top three players in the league, lost to a Spurs team whose 2nd best player was Stephen Jackson. Lakers fans somehow convince themselves Parker and Manu were in their primes and that Robinson wasn't on his last legs.

Oh, but the Spurs teams the Lakers beat in '01 and '02 were these powerful manifestations that only the Lakers and the great Kobe Bryant could defeat. Never mind the fact that Terry Porter, Danny Ferry, Sean Elliott, Antonio Daniels, and Steve Smith were the Spurs wings those years.

C'mon son. No reason to be changing history, Jackson wasn't the 2nd best player of that team, specially not against the Lakers.

Well, going into the playoffs, Jackson was number 2 or number 3. Manu was still an unknown and not really gameplanned for yet and Parker was still growing. Look at the overall playoff stats of that team. Jackson wound up being the 2nd best offensive player.

holy I had forgoten about these rodents called Lakerfans. Truly forgot how stupid these muppets can be. Wow

I looked it up. 12.8 ppg on 41% shooting and for all his clutch 3s only 33% from 3 pointers. Parker averaged 14 ppg on about the same field goal %. But taking away the offensive numbers I recall that back then Tony, Manu and Robinson were more important for that team than Jackson. Either way there's no doubt that that championship was 90% Duncan. You put Timmy in about half of the other NBA teams and most likely that team would have won the trophy. '03 Duncan >> Any Kobe season.

Jackson was the Spurs 2nd leading scorer in the playoffs, but I'm not certain he was the 2nd best player... though when the pool is 03 Robinson, Parker, rookie Manu, etc, its hard to be definitive. it's the weakest cast to win a le in my time watching the NBA
