OT: Would you call Kobe a 1B?

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

Do you know the difference between leading over a season vs leading against 4 teams? What's next? Kobe led the lakers in a few metrics vs the Spurs in 2001 so he's led the team in those categories?

You said he never led them. He did. Now you are moving goalposts since you lost on the subject.

He never led them to a championship.

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

He never led them to a championship.

Yes he did. He led them in win shares in the playoffs too. Multiple times.

The NBA is a season, not just the playoffs. Get with the program please.

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

The playoffs are actually referred to as the post season, because they are AFTER the season

You are diving deeper and deeper in the strategy of acting stupid to win an argument.

It's not working.

Kobe never led a team to a championship, statistics proved it.

He did lead his teams to miss the playoffs though, and he did lead his team to an end to a three-peat though, as you pointed out.

Kobe had the higher usage rate...

A higher ball hog rate?

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

A higher ball hog rate?

Nope. He was utilized the most, and won as a first option.

[Spurtacular]

Nope. He was utilized the most, and won as a first option.

So, higher ball hog rate and won one Pau's coattails.

[LkrFan]

Laker fans missing the playoffs and becoming Philly West are not trying to act like being a laughing stock vs contender is all the same if you don't win it all

DPG got jokes. We ain't no Philly West - we were tanking. There's a difference. If you really think that, you need to listen to Screaming A's advice:
