Lakers: Watching Dwight this season is a testament to just how great Kobe is

What a dumbass article... they also said CP3 was "too high" at #4, but in reality, he's at least the third best player in the league, probably even the second-best tbh... imho, Durant and CP3 are about equal in my book, but CP3's defense and overall playmaking ability might edge KD out though...

WHAT A JOKE OF A FORUM! Seriously. There are really many people on here who don't seem to mind that the Lakers are losing games as long as Kobe is scoring 30+ points on a career-high FG%. It's never been more clear that we need a Kobe Bryant forum on this board.

Oh the irony.

The article was also before last year's playoffs / season

Your takes are horrible so I wouldn't expect you to see the blown calls. That takes knowledge of the sport.

Call me when you start to post some actual takes on bball

Just a year ago, Dwight was considered by a lot of folks to be the 2nd best player in the league by many "pundits." There was a consensus "changing of the guard" mantra the media heads have been touting since the Lakers got swept by Dallas.


Lebron, Dwight, Durant and Rose were the new faces of the league, while "old man" Kobe was pushed to the side by many. They called him "washed up", "bone on bone", "no legs", "mangled hands" To be honest, I thought they were right, but watching Dwight play alongside Kobe this season is truly an eye opener. Wow....Kobe is so far above Dwight, and its not even close. This is a guy who played his best season nearly 6 years ago, has played 17 seasons, is in his mid-30's and has suffered serious injuries each year since 2008.


This is a guy who has played through really serious injuries each year, and yet Dwight with one injury does not even look like he belongs on the same court with Kobe. Seriously guys, Kobe is so far above Dwight as a player, its not even funny. This really makes me take a hard look at the other "stars" being pushed by the media? Are these guys really "stars?" Are they really that skilled? Or are they just supremely gifted athletes with some skill?


Do the refs really have the power to make these guys into "STARS". I really wonder what Lebron or KD will look like at 30 when they can no longer jump over everyone? I wonder what D Rose will look like after his injury? It makes me wonder if Lebron, KD, or any of these other "STARS" even belong in the same conversation as Kobe, KG, Tim Duncan, Dirk etc?


These guys were dominant and are still dominant despite losing all their athleticism. Kobe on the other hand is on a completely different level from KG, TD and Dirk, yet those guys in their prime would eat these present crop of "stars" alive. We just saw an aging Dirk destroy Lebron Bosh and Wade. Seriously, there is a reason Kobe is still considered by some to be the best player in the league today. If he got the calls these guys got, it wont even be a conversation.

Are you really here to claim ownership of that garbage?

[Black&Silver]

Lol fighting over a piece of garbage that I did not read just noticed that each paragraph started with the same words and the topic was the same.

Btw you gots still haven't figured out who I am on lakersground. Im putting Kobe Stans in their place and trolling them like no other.

[sook]

this has to be one of the most deluded arguments I have ever heard. Its like vindicating Kobe from his team having a ty record despite having so many good players to ...Kobe is so good in spite of so many good players on his team.
