Damn....I forgot how good Kobe was in 05-06

[Draje]

kevin love is a fat stat padding bum. i wouldn't take him over taj gibson. unlike you, i don't go by box score stats. i go by my eye test. i knew kevin love was a bum regardless of what he put up on the stat sheet.

But you said scoring the basketball is the hardest thing to do so scoring 3 more PPG on lower efficiency makes your season more impressive.



So Kobe scored 3 more PPG on lower efficiency just like Love did.

Kobe > Durant
Love > Duncan

Your logic.

Brag about beating a 35 year old Steve Nash led Suns that was starting a 37 year old Grant hill, brehs.

Imagine trying to brag about beating a 35 year old superstar is a big deal...does Durant shytting on Kobe in the 2012 playoffs mean anything?

you were the one bragging about nash beating a team that was starting kwame brown, smush parker, and luke walton.

fyi, last i checked durant has 0 rings. dunno why you keep bringing his name up.

usually. but like with every rule, there are outliers. kevin love is that outlier.

Here's how i rank the best Kobe seasons since he became top 5 in 2001 and that run lasted until 2012

1. 03 Kobe
2. 06 Kobe
3. 07 Kobe
4. 01 Kobe
5. 08 Kobe (MVP)
6. 02 Kobe
7. 09 Kobe
8. 04 Kobe (Colorado, injuries, made him lower on this list plus a new team)
9. 10 Kobe
10. 11 Kobe
11. 12 Kobe
12. 05 Kobe (injuries, plus the lakers missed the playoffs)

Nash was the only player who was his equal on offense but when you combine both ends of the floor (you know, offense + defense) Kobe was the 11th best player in the NBA that year.

Gotta salute your game

Q

U the worst poster ever.

Kobe won 5 rings while being a 2nd option on 3 of them.

Kobe wasn't even that good in 2000

how about we compare what they did in the west finals (aka the real finals). not when they faced the jv squads from the east.

I'll just leave that there for you.

Kobe himself admitting he was the sidekick > Your pointless stats

-Mario Elie

-Steve Smith

-Antonio Daniels

-Derek Anderson

-Bonzi Wells

-Stacey Augmon

-Bruce Bowen on the defensive end but on offense


While you criticize the east JV squads, these were Kobes matchups IN THE WEST during their three peat. I'm pretty sure there are at least three guys here you never heard of.



So you gonna discredit the NBA FINALS yet praise Kobe for balling against these guys??

Keep WOATing away and moving those goalposts there tiger

 

[The Goodz]

you must be a kid. everyone who actually watched basketball in the early 00s knows the real nba finals was always the west finals. the finals were mostly just a coronation. shaq got to beat up on the weak east teams and collected the mvps. however, kobe was the one the team relied on in the clutch and he carried them in the west when they played teams like the spurs.

You must be a kid also in forgetting that there were horrible guards in the west, hence why Kobe balled out. But he got that reality check against the east with more competent SGs out there when AI and Reggie Miller and even jalen rose were outplaying him. Like you said the Spurs, shaq had to worry about Duncan and David Robinson, where Kobe had to worry about Derek Anderson and Antonio Daniels

 

[Ace2306]

I wonder why more players don't explode off the opposite leg like he does in the triple threat haven't seen too many ppl able to stay in front of that

the stats back up everything I say though

You said the league scoring champ was the 11th best player, you have no credibility

 

[JYoung24]

There were 10 better players than Kobe that season. Including the likes of Duncan, Garnett, LeBron, etc.

Gtfoh with that

I consider 2008 to be his peak as a player but 06 was definitely his best season. I'd give 2003 Kobe the nod as his athletic peak, early 2000s Kobe made some moves that I didn't see his later, but superior, 2008-2010 iterations do.
