One....averaging 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists for a career ain't bad. Not a bum by far. Don't understand the Barkley disrespect. Especially when the nikka had several seasons shooting at a 60% fg clip as a 6"5 POWER FORWARD.
Two....I'll say it one more time in case you didn't hear me the first time.....Shaq got swept by Hakeem. Shaq got swept by Jordan. Shaq got beat multiple times afterwards by the Jazz. He didn't start winning shyt until Kobe came of age.
Three....not a single one of those players are on anyone's top 25. Perfect case of the whole being better than the parts. Give Barkley a Wade or a Kobe and maybe things go differently.
THAT LINE RIGHT THERE IS WHY I HATE KOBE STANS. Y'ALL LIE EVERYTIME ABOUT WHAT KOBE BRYANT DID AND DID NOT DO.
Kobe got 5 rings but this nikka had SO MUCH HELP in doing so. It's why I call him Demar Derozan with more help and I'm not kidding with that statement. Even post Shaq Kobe Bryant was winning rings going 6-24 in a game 7 and was shooting 40% from the floor that entire series against Boston.
Nobody is winning no damn championship in todays game shooting 40% from the floor. Kobe was able to do it because he had SO MUCH DAMN HELP.
