NBA: Larry Brown To LeBron: Great players aren’t teammates

[spurraider21]

and lastly Kobe was doing what I called Sabre rattling..at no point in his career has Bron played with the likes of Smush Parker and ing Chucky Atkins..get a clue numnuts

he had booby gibson starting at point guard in the finals

if you can make it to the finals with face Gibson then it proves he's had it easy his whole career...fact is he was facing a prime Tony Parker and that wasn't an easy match-up for anyone. Gibson > Smush / Chucky Atkins

he went through the pistons to get to those finals, not an easy task. i wouldn't call that "proof he's had it easy his whole career." try to remember how dominant he was that series, particularly in game 5.

tbh its weird having an actual basketball discussion

fact is the Pistons being one and done was easily predicted in fact I predicted it...they slew Goliath (Lakers) so it was all downhill after that..there was nothing more to accomplish..so Lebron naturally faces them after they're now fat cats..living good and high on the hill after dethroning Shaq and Kobe...that was the pinnacle for them..it's the same gotdam reason Durant wont' win a le...the Thunder spent their whole careers trying to find a clue as to how to stop Kobe and the Lakers...when they finally cracked the glass ceiling they made it to the finals and promptly laid a goose egg of sorts against the Heat...it seems that when people finally beat Kobe it's like all their dreams have been accomplished and they give up trying

He must not consider Kobe and Shaq great players then since he lost to them in '01. Self-ownage on your part, Kool.

Kobe was just a #13 drafted rookie when Shaq came to LA imho, averaging less than 10pts in his rookie season. Kobe grew into a superstar and won 3 in a streak with daddy, but it's essentially different from two or more established stars joining force together to win rings imho. Same goes for Spurs star trio that won them rings in 03, 05 and 07.
