The Only team that can lose their best player and still win the ring..

[carrao45]

This kind of leads into what I was thinking. Kobe and the Kobe butt sniffer can never lay claim to his being one of the greatest players ever. He's always had to be surrounded with excessive talent to get the job done. Contrast that with the real greats like MJ, Duncan, Hakeem, even Shaq.

So since Magic played with even better talent than Kobe...does that mean he isn't one of the greatest ever?stupid

[Sean Cagney]

They would not win a ring without Kobe, are you high? He has a very very good team around him yes, but if they can win a ring without him that proves it's more of a team thing than Kobe being that damn good!

Did you just say that yourself in so many words? You dissed your own leader of your team and said he is not as great as some said he is in so many words if they can win a ring without him.

Lakers and Steelers...champs this year. Gotta love it.

Let me guess you are also a Gators fan and a fan of whoever has the most les in the MLB, perhaps a Yankees fan too? Feels great to have all your teams win so many les!

That or are you a USC or Boston Red Sox fan? Weird you are a Steelers and Lakers fan, is that you Snoop?

[SouthTexasRancher]

Man I love seeing that. One of the most embarrASSing moments in NBA history. The Celtics really put on a good ol' fashion country ass whipping! That was maybe more pathetic than the Mavs getting their asses whipped in the 2006 NBA Finals. Thanks for posting the score again! That's great!!!

[SouthTexasRancher]

Celtics are to old now.

It is 'too' NOT 'to', you little moron. And the Celtics must have also been too old when they whipped your sorry butts last year.

stealer nation, look on Ebay and see if there is a brain you could bid on. You need something in the empty noggin' of yours. What a dolt...

[gaKNOW!blee]

I cant wait to watch all my favorite teams this year!!

GO Phillies, Steelers, Lakers, Gators, Tar Heels, and Penguins!!!!

Try again, kid...at least act like you have something to say. Youth is no excuse.

:wgaf:So you're patronizing people? Hilarious. When trolls take a , you come out. BTW, stop starting threads...For that matter, stop posting at all. D-bags like you are a great argument for Euthanasia.

[Spurs_210]

Yeah stealer nation and that is why your Fakers have been the luckiest team in the NBA the past two seasons. You're little boys lucked out the past 2 years with Manu being out injured and Duncan with his knees flaring up this season. Your little girlieboy team lucked out this year by not having to play and lose AGAIN to the Celtics with KG out. When KG did play last year the Celtics mopped the floor with your girls. Everyone on the planet knows your rapist boy Kobe can't win without having stars helping him along. Lil Kobe tagged along for 3 rings with Shaq leading the way. Then Lil' Kobe required stealing Gasol from Memphis along with much, much luck because of other teams key injuries to win this year with by far, the weakest showing of any champion in decades. Your Fakers get no respect from true basketball fans. Now your Lil Kobe boy had Phil JackASS go and get Artest because Lil' Kobe was afraid he couldn't repeat. Well he can't and he won't. The strong teams have become stronger and odds are against both the Spurs and Celtics having key injuries again.

Just like when your team from La La Land went out and brought in hired guns, Malone & Payton, the Fakers couldn't get the job done against the Pistons. It took the Spurs the following year to beat those same Pistons and win the NBA Championship for the West. Your Fakers have been pretty dismal excuses for an NBA basketball team the past 6 or so years. Ego's are going to destroy your team this coming season. Just when Phil and Lil' Kobe finally patch things up they go and get the Atomic Bomb, ready to destroy everything in the P&G the first time Artest gets punked by Phil or anyone else with the Faker organization.

So we'll see where things end up next June. Oh and Happy 4th. It is still the 4th out there in Plastic Land, isn't it? Or do you people even know what Independance Day means? You probably think it is only a movie!!!

ROTFFLMNFAO @ Idiots like you...

Even with a healthy Manu we would not have beat the Lakers this year with no help for Duncan and Finley as starting SF. Just wouldn't happen....

[symple19]

So since Magic played with even better talent than Kobe...does that mean he isn't one of the greatest ever?stupid

Ummmm, I seem to remember Magic playing at center in order to will his team to victory. Don't even compare Magic to cry-baby Kobe. Magic was a triple/double machine who could play all five positions. Not even in the same ballpark buddy. You Fail.

[sabar]

Is the Lakers. Imagine if Kobe goes down...the line up would be:

Fish
Artest
Odom
Gasol
Bynum

Imagine if the Spurs best player went down(Duncan...for those slow Spurs fans)

Parker
Manu
Jefferson
?
Bonner


hahahahahahah...say what?

Spurs wouldnt get past the 1st round against Oklahoma City.

You are re ed. A lineup of 3 bigs, a nutcase, and an over the hill PG plus NO bench is not a contender. Go back to bandwagoning and stop trying to actually discuss basketball.

[rayray2k8]

I am the biggest bandwagoner of all time.. .

That you are..
I bet you're from Jacksonville.
I guess this is where all the Bulls fans went, right Timvp?

Stupid thread.

I'm saying that the argument of "he's not great because he played with great players" is an idiotic argument. Magic, Kareem, Shaq, Russel, West, and Wilt were all great, and yet they played with other great players. I'm not saying anything about Kobe's being great or not, merely pointed out that the argument was completely idiotic. You Fail

[DrHouse]

Is there a more pathetic excuse laden fanbase than the Spurs?

My God even Laker fans are willing to admit when their teams just aren't good enough, but Spur fan will never say that. It's always injuries, refs, Timmy not getting enough sleep, or some other BS excuse.

Come on man, there's no denying that the Spurs are legitimate contenders next year.

The massive amount of insecurity from this thread is leaking out of my Laptop screen, thanks a lot guys.

[Sotongball21]

Ok, lets try taking off the SG and Big man in the teams.

Lakers - Gasol, Kobe
Spurs - Duncan, Manu

who will win?

[FromWayDowntown]

GO Phillies, Steelers, Lakers, Gators, Tar Heels, and Penguins!!!!

I wondered when that was coming and frustrated by the fact that it took 5 pages.

I wonder if Steeler Nation packed away his Red Sox and Red Wings gear for now, or if he went all in and burned it.

The only reason your team makes points is because of kobe. We all saw how gasol and odom were when they were the #1 option.
I thought this was a Rockets post because they did lose their top two and still almost beat the rapers. The Lakers pass it in to Kobe, he brings it down, gets a pick and drives. Then the other four players go to the press conference and include such words as "we".
Who is Fishers backup? Farmar?
Who is Gasols backup? Luke Walton?
And finally... Adam Morrison
