NBA: Would Kirby have won in a small market?

[spurraider21]

what year would Kobe have won if he stuck with the Charlotte Hornets?

[Franklin]

Even the best Kobe (the one who once dropped 81pts in a game) could only lead such a team to a first round knockout.

[DMC]

In his twilight years he could have TMac'ed his self (sic) onto a winning team like SA and rode pine except in 2nd nights of b2bs.

When will people get it. It's not the market, it's the management running each organization (See Boston, Knicks, Nets, Lakers under Jimmy)

That wasn't the question. Shaq doesn't go to a small market team, nor does Pau or Howard. It doesn't matter who's running it, and that's the point of the OP.

[DAF86]

You can't compare Market to said player and saying it's the same thing. What if the Spurs drafted Kobe with Pop and management team in place....you don't think they'd win a few les? The spurs are unique. The Majority of the champions were in a big market.

lol At the thought of Kobe and Pop getting along. Do you imagine Kobe allowing Pop to put him on blast like he does with Duncan?

I can't imagine Duncan allowing Amy to make him eat do-do in the Summer of '13.

Pop would definitely put Kobe in his place. problem with Kobe is he never had a real authoritative figure until Jackson came in, he was coached by a Beta male like Del Harris who practically didn't held Kobe accountable.


Pop is no chump. They could co-exist.

+ Pop is as dishonest as Kobe so you have that helpin'.

P.s., and Jackson is just damn fortunate that Kobe dragged that lard ass to it in '00 up North. Otherwise, well I don't even want to contemplate otherwise.

Shaq sure, Pau? He could. He came from Memphis afterall when the Grizzlies who were still widely viewed as a struggling expansion team in 2007.


And if we're going to use today's CBA rules now, then market size is pretty irrelevant.

A lot of people overlooked that. Dr. Buss nor Jackson couldn't move the immovable object. Kobe calling out Shaq lit a fire under his butt though...

So players who are free agents and can go where they want would just as likely choose a small market over a large one, despite the fact that the bulk of their income is from endorsements. Got it. Thanks for admitting that you're fully ing re ed.

[Venti Quattro]

Hugely depends on the personnel he's surrounded with. is whether you're in a huge market like LA or a small city. But if, for example, Milwaukee surrounded him with talent, then yeah he'll probably win one or two.

So now you moved to "All Players". We're talking about Gasol, keep up at least.. I think you really have difficulties with comprehension thats why no one wants to talk to you.


Gasol signed for less with Chicago.

[100%duncan]

Kobe + Pop = auto win

TD made Pop just like how Shaq and MJ made Phil.

Laker fans make it sound so simple. Yeah, sure if you transfer teams similar to the teams he had in LA they'll win even in Milwaukee. Too bad Milwaukee can't afford to surround him with that kind of talent. He'd be lucky to get a fringe all star as his sidekick.

But if it's all about talent and surroundings, what makes him any different than Tmac or VC? Really similar production, Kirby was just in a much better situation. Funny how that works...when talking about his rings quality of teammates isn't really analyzed yet in a thread like this it's brought up every single time by Lakerfan.

I have an idea, let's vote on who's the best poster, that way you get to have a shot at winning something this season.

Are we really going to debate this again? He shows up when it matters
