A player known for scoring and nothing else (basketball wise, not coat tailing or rape wise) in his prime vs a 22 year old known for his passing.
Blessing and a curse tbh.
The good: he could get his shot off on anybody. Literally.
The bad: he was ultra confident. Would shoot over triple teams, let alone double teams. 20 footer? No sweat. 30 footer? He's just warming up.
The ugly: he played with a ton of ty teammates after Shaq and before Pau. It was often better for us if he tried to beat a double team than to pass to a wide open Kwame Brown. Hurt his shooting percentages. But I've seen many YOLO 35 footers go in with 3 seconds left on the clock
His teammates often farted around for 20 seconds and ask him to bail them out. He'll gladly oblige them and chuck it up. I've seent it too many times![]()

Nope. Coattailing loaded teams is not duncans forte.
Acting like butler and odom never existed.
Duncan won five championships playing with samaki walker.
Don't even try it. Jim was a champion and a leader of that team. It's HIS stain and nobody else. He owns that Bronze Medal. Forever.![]()
So Samaki has 5 rings? That's news to me. -500 points for being disingenuous.SMH
Nothing else? Kobe played acious defense before his Achilles blew out. Question: how many all defensive teams did Bron make before the 2008 Olympics?
Answer: NONE. Kobe set the tone defensively at practice. Coach K even said so. Taught Bron that he has to defend.
THEN Bron started chase down blocking, etc. But not beforePERIOD.
Kobe 5
Shaq 4
Pau 2
How is he coat tailing? If anything it would appear to be the other way around.![]()
Gonna pretend Daddy wasn’t the finals mvp for the first three huh. Carried Kobe’s sorry ass kicking and screaming. Tried carrying Kobe in 04, but Kobe wasn’t having it. He had to be a big shot. No more big shot
5 > 4PERIOD![]()
In 2004 he was 485lbs. Wallace bros ran a train on Shaq![]()
Just like Kobe wasn’t the leader in any of the championship or medal winning teams. So he owns nothing.
Well duh. That’s to show you being disingenuous.
Bruce Bowen of the Olympics.
I’m sure bron started chasing blocks down after playing with Kobe. The level of stupidity is just out of this world.
Katie girl didn’t have any stains before Kobe. She had six guys stains after Kobe. Fact.
. Horry 5, Hakeem 0. So it must have been Hakeem coattailing.

Uh no, he dominated them actually
Talking out of your ass Miguel
Daddy 26 ppg on 61% 84 FGA
Rapist 22 ppg on 38%113 FGA
As I said, Kobe wanted to be a big shot, no more big shot
these are very true tbh. i dont think ive ever seen a defender, one on one, prevent kobe from getting a shot off (before his massive decline) and force him to pass out. there's no doubt the guy was ultra talented. and like lefty said, he had more moves than MJ. but being more "skilled" doesn't necessarily make you a better player. its not about talent or skill, its about what you get done on the court to get your team W's. who cares about how amazing your skills are if you keep jacking up bad shots and end up 9-23 from the floor?
brady isnt the most talented qb to ever play the game, but he's the most successful
True. All of this.
I wonder if Kobe went to college would he have learned better decisions early on. Del Harris didn't teach him as a rookie![]()
The video of Kobe missing all the potential game winning shots couldn’t be uploaded because YouTube didn’t have a big enough server.
det portland shot at 0:22... he double ed ruben patterson that game. with that nasty shot to force OT, too
Yeah, I think he had 65 in that game vs the "Kobe stopper"![]()
This is why I will ALWAYS side with Kobe over Shaq and defend him vs you farmers
Shaq didn't "want it" like Kobe. If Shaq had 1/2 the work ethic of Kobe he'd have 7 rangs and be the undisputed GOAT. Not MJ.
