Is Kobe going to be the greatest player to never with a ring?

[stretch]

lol great thread

[monosylab1k]

So for everyone calling me a Kobe hater, this thread is perfect evidence that I'm definitely not.

I don't hate Kobe, I just hate Kobe knobslobbers who say he's as good as Jordan.

[IronMexican]

Pretty re ed thread.

[mytespurs]

Kobe has 3 championship rings.....and he'll win another.......barring a major upset, perhaps this June.

Your mom is re ed!

mytespurs always calls it like it is, whether it's about the Lakers, the Spurs or the Bobcats.

Too bad all Spurs fans couldn't be so objective.

This guy reminds me of Jonathan.

lol, Boston or Cavs or even Spurs beating the Lakers would not be a major upset. You're being subjective, not the opposite.

Exhibit A.

Kobe has accomplished absolutely nothing since the Shaq departure. At best he's established his TMacish iden y.

Shortest thread maybe but it had such potential.

I think its painfully obvious that Kobe has been nothing without Shaq and he has done nothing to prove that he's the kind of player that can make his surrounding squad any better. Kobe will never ever win another ring.

He will however be totally happy stockpiling stats which is all he ever really cared about in the first place.

how would u know what he cares about exactly???
besides he and the lakers will beat your ty ass spurs team on the way the kobe's 4th championship.

I'm comfortable referencing games such as:

Kobe goes for 81

Kobe's multiple tantrums where he doesn't score in the first half of games to "make a statement" about his lack of passing.

Kobe rapes a young lady in a hotel room.

All those things are an indication of a stat hungry .

[koriwhat]

as much as i despise the lakers there is one man on that team that i give props to... kobe.

dude is flat out the best since... and you know it.

Double posting also drives up your post count much like Kobe shooting 30+ times a game.

So he's a great scorer. Maybe the best scorer ever....maybe not. He's proven time and time again that he can't win rings without one of the most dominant big man of this era.

I was thinking the same thing.

And the Spurs couldn't win crap without Duncan. And the Rockets couldn't win crap without Hakeem.

So, you take one of the most dominant players to ever play the game off a team, and it becomes more difficult for that team to win games. Brilliant f'n hypothesis, Red.

Jordan never won anything without Pippen. He needed a top 50 player of all time to ever win anything. Discuss.

Who knew Dirties_Robbed_Me would evolve from an ordinary troll to the best life coach on the internet?

I'm not disputing anything you just said. None of that has anything to do with Kobe's lack of ability to win it all. Your analogies change nothing and draw no additional conclusions.

However I'd point out that Jordan did it with many different types of teams spanning a decade. Even though Pippen was the constant and really the argument would be Pippen can't win without Jordan not the other way around although I'm willing to catch your drift for the sake of the argument.

and to think that Dirtiesrobbedme was an evolution of my first nic here many many years back.

I put my money on "YES".

Dumbest topic ever.
