Number one, what about the other 47 minutes of the game? :mjpls:

Number two, how many times was Shaq NOT on the court during crunch time?

Number three, who scored the most memorable bucket during that Game 7 2000 game? :shaq:

number 1: there is more than 1 minute in the 4th quarter

number 2: the issue was not about whether shaq was on the floor but rather who the offense ran thru at crunch time

number 3: only cause kobe made the play by crossing up pippen, sucking the defense toward him so that shaq could have the easy oop.

But out of the 4 and 5 positions combined they probably took 8 shots a game altogether. That plays right into Mike's style which was put up 25-30 shots a game.
During the 6 years they won a ring MJ only shot more than 25 per game once in 92-93. The other 5 years he was between 22-23. In his career he only shot more than 25 a game twice, once in 92-93, the other time in 86-87 when he put up 37ppg.

In 95-96, Luc Longley took 8 shots a game himself, Rodman and Wennington 5 a piece.

When the 4/5 was Grant and Cartwright in 92-92, Grant took 10 a game and Cartwright 7. Perdue, King and Levingston combined for another 13.

nothing crazy about thinking kobe is better than mike. stop trying to make it so. many other established nba stars have said so. most recently the reigning NBA MVP Kevin Durant who said Kobe was the GOAT or at worst he and MJ were 1 and 1a.

I didn't say there was something "crazy" about thinking Kobe is better than Jordan. But acting like because Brandon Jennings or any other player in the league said it makes it fact is retarded.

lol @ the thought that if you played in the league your opinion is gold and automatically better than someone else that didnt play in the league. theres plenty of people out there that understand the game of basketball better than a cat like brandon jennings, he just had the athleticism and skills to play at that level. hardly means he knows more about the game

but it ain't just jennings. in the past year. future HOFers Dirk, Kevin Durant, and Wade have all been quoted saying Kobe is the best of this generation. Dirk said Kobe was the best he ever faced. Wade said he was the 2nd greatest ever. KD said he and Jordan were 1 and 1a.

similar quotes have been said by a multitude of current/former players and coaches. dudes in the league just happen to agree with Kobe stans on his place in basketball history rather than u haters.

it ain't just brandon jennings or just one or two other guys. kobe has been getting props from his peers than no other player in his generation gets. you don't have dudes in the league saying bron is better than jordan ever other week. you don't have dudes saying duncan is the best of his generation. only jordan in his prime gets as much props from his peers as kobe does.

just think about it. Durant, Wade, and Dirk have all been quoted in the last 12 months saying kobe is the best of this generation and/or better than jordan. thats 3 of the top 10 players of the last 15 years giving kobe these kinda props. that means something.

couldnt care less if dirk thinks hes the best player he faced. he never faced mj in his heyday. who really cares about that type of a statement? you are acting like brandon jennings is more knowledgeable about hoops by default just because he plays in the league. thats complete horseshyt. same goes for anyone else who has ever played in the nba. mj is the best player of all time, yet his player assessment is asscheeks. cant build a team worth a shyt. neither could isiah thomas. theres PLENTY of people with more knowledge of the overall game of basketball than guys who play it at the top level

You still didn't respond to the dude that asked you about being a cac

Cacs were flushed out in the Bill Simmons thread last week like someone sprayed a fogger as they were scrambling to defend his talent (@godamnyamanProf) but Nima is part of LWO so he is good.:obama:

Good for them. I don't really care what they think. I'll form my own opinion. If they have the same opinion as me then cool, if not then oh well. I'm not gonna act like what they say is gospel just because they play/played in the NBA.

u nikkas are missing the point. those players is cause they're kobe's peers and in some peoples eyes his equals. yet they are giving him that type of props. no one else of this era gets that type of respect. not lebron. not duncan. nobody but kobe. that should mean something.

i'm not saying kobe is better than mike cause kevin durant said so. i'm saying the fact KD can say that should make us think twice when nikkas who never played come in here talking about kobe ain't even in the same league as jordan.

Lol Kobe haters are hilarious man. The love Kobe gets from his peers and HOFs should be enough to keep most of y'all hoes off the internet. How many quotes from MJ, Larry, magic, KD, Dirk, Wade, Lebron, and etc do y'all need to see before you realize just how amazing Kobe is. "Ohh bu bu but look at his FG percentage"
"He's a chucker"
"Just a wannabe mike"
Nah, I think I'll listen to the plethora of HOFs that constantly call him one of the GOATs.
Keep getting mad:umad:
(Jennings is a dumbass tho. Mainly addressing the blatant Kobe haters that act like he's fringe top 15, when he clearly in the GOAT discussion)
