Cool story bruh...

"2nd greatest ever"

Kobe isn't even the 2nd greatest Laker ever.

Magic is just nostalgia of the golden era....make no mistake Kobe is the greatest..better athelete than Magic too...better jumper, better mid range, better low post and better defense than Magic...but I understand the Magic nostalgia point of view...end of the day though its Kobe first..

Magic was the better passer and teammate though..thats it

[MultiTroll]

The fact that some people even bring up like this speaks volumes for Kobe as an offensive role player...feeding off Shaq, the rigged refs, with Robert Horry spacing the arc etc means Kobe could have an impact on the series vs Leonard.

The dude is that damn good.

fixed

I take back my original post. I said that Kobe isn't even the 2nd greatest Laker ever. What I meant to say is "Kobe isn't even the 3rd greatest Laker ever".

Magic, Kareem, Shaq are all above Kobe in the Lakers hierarchy. Don't take that as a diss Kool. When someone as good as Kobe is your franchise's 4th greatest player....that just shows how many greats have played for that franchise.

It's been well do ented that Kobe has struggled in playoff/important games against other good (even average) wing players.

He's been outplayed by:

- Reggie Miller
- Jalen Rose
- Allen Iverson
- Tayshaun Prince
- Rip Hamilton
- Ray Allen
- Paul Pierce
- Rudy Fernandez
- P. Quineros

Put Kawhi on 22 year old Kobe, and I think Kobe averages about 25 points on 41% shooting. '08 Kobe was PEAK Kobe, and he got shut down by James Posey.

Too bad Kirby is going out with a whimper. Oh well, you guys still got your glory days from over a decade ago to look fondly on.

You mean that back-to-back in '09-'10?

You couldn't do it. Let the Clippers take your cookie at home, where everybody's children play except for dum-dum Duncan's kids. They have another daddy now...+ a number of "uncles" lookin' to get into their mother's drawers. The line is long, black & distinguished.

[ambchang]

better job, undoubtedly yes, but can he stop kobe though?

Aaron McKie and Eric snow stopped him in the next round ( 41.5% shooting), but I think both of them are better than an inanimate fruit.

You're qualifying again. I'm surprised you do "back-to-backs."

That's Media invention, Cub. East coast Media invention to begrudge the Lakers their '85 ringage. Remember Red saying, "You ain't a true champ until you defend."

We just tote 'em here.

5=5.

You had to win your 1st 5th a 2nd time. That never ends.

I don't do that narrative . I just tote 'em.

Duncan: 5

Kobe: 5

You used to just "tote 'em" too.

What happened?

This is true. Kobe had to win his 3rd 5th which is just slightly worse though.

Still do. I invented it.

No room. You let Prince do you a-way.

And for 4 games to boot!

I'd bet on Danny green too.

Spurs running the league before Lakers ever rose up. Spurs running the league 4 years after they fell again for the 2nd time. Spurs never missing a beat.
