Don't fall for the media bias.... Kobe was the first man to beat a Superteam

[ISO]

Coaches vote for All-Defensive teams.

If Kobe got some off reputation then so has LeBron.

If your arguement is only Kobe got the benefit of the doubt based on his rep then it only bolsters my point that in his prime he was the better defender. You don't get by on reputation unless at one point you were one of the best ever at it.

So thank you for making my point.

LeBron didn't get any off reputation. He declined from his prime and got replaced by the Kawhis and Paul Georges. And I didn't make your point Kobe made some of the teams because of popularity as said by his own coach. And he could have done nothing to stop KD last night which is the point anyway.

You right Kobe was only the best player for 20% of his rings

Fixed that

No breh.... not a "clause"

Guys at that level with those relationships with those teams have a say in where the want to go.


When it comes to a scrub or insignificant piece being traded to one of the top stars.

There is more respect and care that takes place because the communication behind the scenes is there.

Trust after however many years.... teams ain't just gonna call Karl or his handlers and be like "pack your shyt, you're gone" or "come to the office and turn in your badge, you're stuff is boxed up and ready for pick up"

Kobe had an actual trade clause in his contract and he was the only one to have it then


You keep speaking speculative bullshyt while I speak the truth

Fixed that

Not 2010 right?? def arguable

The 04 lakers were NOT a super team.

The 2010 celtics still had 4 relatively in their prime all stars.

Kobe took em down with his second option being a 18 & 10 Pau Gasol(Lebrons third option is putting up these numbers now)

You never heard a word from the media about this despite the fact that the celtics big 3 and Rondo would've shut down last years Golden State team.


Durant bout to be the second man to take down a super team

You are talking about the Eastern Conference breh, how many superteams did Kobe have to beat to even get there?

2009 Lakers beat teams like:

Rockets- McGrady, Lowry, Yao Ming, Carl Landry

Nuggets- Melo, K-Mart, Billups, Nene

2010 Lakers beat teams like:

Thunder- Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Green, Krstic, Sefalosha

Suns- Stoudemire, Nash, J Rich, Grant Hill

He had to get through that JUST TO MAKE IT to the finals

 

[catskill247]

And yet he's 5-2 in the finals.

LeBron bout to fall to 3-5.

I'll gladly take 5-2 anyday over 3-5.

I'll gladly take 3 rings 3 fmvp 4 mvp
To
5 rings but 2 fmvp 1 mvp 1 series choke job against the suns while up 3-1 and .........1 GOD DAMN RAPE CASE

I'll gladly take respect from peers like KD and D-Wade calling Kobe the best player ever versus a white cac like Nick Wright being the guy saying it for LeBron.

At the end of the day, the guys who played both Kobe and LeBron respect Kobe more.

nikkas talking that same bullshyt arguement like I'm talking in codes when Lebron left Miami because he couldn't beat that same Celtic team.

Had to team up with the 3rd greatest sg of all time(pretty much a prime Kobe equivalent) and a top 10 pf(better than Kobes second option)

I HAD A BRON GROUPIE SO IN HIS FEELINS BOUT MY BRON VS. KD THREAD THAT HE 1-STARRED THE THREAD AND REFUSED TO VOTE IN THE POLL

 

[JYoung24]

The only player in his prime on that 10 Celtic team was Rondo. fukk outta here

KG, Pierce and Allen were not

Pierce was in his prime

 

[Dwight Howard]

They were very productive that year and THAT WAS NOT the narrative until they were down 3-1

They were like 37/38. Nowhere near their prime

 

[Dwight Howard]

Kd is already better than kobe all time if he wins fmvp

Kd's 38/8/8 in g1 was better than any of kobe's finals performances in 7 finals

People actually dapped this nonsense, KD already eliminated himself from contention

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

They were like 37/38. Nowhere near their prime

It wasn't a problem when they were running through the league all year
