Lakers: There has NEVER been a Laker who missed the playoffs in non-consecutive years

Kobe shined since their first of three straight rings, truth be told. Say what you want about him, he empties out his clip every time and leaves it all on the floor. Every time.

Never said he doesn't have heart.

Game 6 he certainly emptied his clip of tears on the floor.

Im amazed the average fan cant see that Kobe was not built around from day 1 the way MJ, Magic, and other greats wrere built around. The Lakers felt Shaq was older and more ready to build around and asked Kobe to take a back seat. While I doubt Kobe would have won 3 in a row with that nucleus, its obvious he would have won 1 or 2 by himself during that era and ultimately the other 2 with Gasol. I am glad Snaq helped him get that extra 1 if not for his help, but Kobe's biggest mistake in some ways was going to a franchise that had Shaq and wanted him to be option 1b

You can't retrospectively assume Kobe wins les without Shaq. There's no subs ute for championship experience next to a top 5 GOAT in his prime.

Kobe would basically be Allen Iverson if he never went to the Lakers.

Iverson led a band of scrubs to the NBA finals but you know the furthest Kobe had been while he was the only superstar on his team, even with the prime Odom being the 2nd banana.

LkrFan, mah , Fuzzy's trying to give you a decent and reasoned argument about why KAJ might not be GOAT, why you resorting to deflecting and troll tactics scro?

KAJ






















Tammy.

The gap between them is actually bigger, but you get the point son.

It's not a good place to argue this, especially with the lowest common denominator in disguise.
