Do we need to review what the word "always" means?

I'm not gonna knock Love for not dragging that bum ass team into the playoffs, but Kobe dragged a bum ass team into the playoffs twice during a period when the Western Conference was more stacked than it is now.

Kobe had Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, and Luke Walton as starters on his team.

:lolbron: ok in his 16 year career he has had two years with mediocre teams... That's always to me.

Not trying to take anything away from Kobe, i think he's one of the goats.

Come on bruh, lets not tell lies now. The Lakers had to win 42 and 45 games to get in those two years they made it.

It was more of a lull period, if anything in the west during 05-06/06-07.

I Can’t believe some of yall are :cape: for Kevin Love. That no defense playing mf aint even sniffed a winning record yet... let alone playoffs. Good player yes, but statpadding and playing for losing teams mean nothing in the NBA. Don’t believe me.... ask Mitch Richmond how does it feel to be in the hall of fame... :jawalrus:


Kevin Love is a better player than Westbrook, Deron, Melo and Wade according to ESPN

Don't really have a problem with Love's ranking...don't necessarily agree with it...but his production warrants it, definitely...just means I and everybody else will now judge him based on that level of expectation from now on...and they'll be no excuses because he's getting widely heralded as a top level elite player in the league now

Taking into account last year's play and projecting for just this upcoming season, I'd take Kobe over rose easy...this is prolly the last season I'd take Kobe over CP3 too, but wouldn't argue with those who wouldn't ...the difference between top 4-6 best players in the league ain't big enough for me to give much of a shyt about :manny:
