I'm not saying he did anything special, but any Laker fan denying that the Pau trade didn't re-shape Kobe's legacy is blind or trolling.
Do you recall Magic, Bird, MJ, LeBron not making the playoffs......

Hoebe didn't make the playoffs, there is no way to spin that 
Duncan, bird, magic just were on another level of greatness

The people he was comparing Kobe to played in the eastern conference when the NBA was at its peak
Non Sequitur
Creep.
No one disagrees, we only disagree when too much credit is given to Pau when he was more a product of Kobe's greatness at the time. Once Kobe couldn't go we got swept by the mavs and Pau couldn't carry the team on his shoulders for someone who supposedly carried Kobe on his. Pau's importance came in the depth we gained at the 4 and 5 plus his versatility. Aside from that, Odom and Bynum were important as well to Kobe's last run.
Just like a lot of us Laker/Kobe stans blame pau for a lot of things, haters tend to credit him with way too much. Like I said, you give Kobe any 2nd option at the time and we contend. Hell, we were doing just fine since Bynum was ballin that season before injury.
The only time Tim Duncan didn't win 50 games was in a strike shortened season, still maintained that 70% win percentage, missing the playoffs is completely foreign 
Didn't Kobe barely get a team with 3 other HOF player team into the playoffs
big difference. those dudes barely played 5 games together. it was really just kobe healthy that year till the achilles tear during the last week of the season.

whens the last time he played over 30mpg.
Spurs success is mostly Pop. Duncan was along for the ride the last 7 years.
He played 30.1mpg in the 2012-2013 season.
0.1mpg above margin starter minutes. like I said. Duncan was along for the ride. put him on the bobcats the last 7 years and he never makes a single playoff.
You asked when was the last time, trying to move them goal posts
He's played more total minutes the last 3 seasons than Kobe
Ben.
