:dead: Not to mention that Rodman was past his own prime by the time he even played in Chicago and Sccit is acting like he is some cheat code player. shyt the year after the threepeat, he was Kobes teammate and Kobe couldn't win with him.

nikka i never held anything against LeBron :bryan:especially 2004 olympics.....you grouping all Kobe fans with Siccit:ufdup:

Gold Medal IS different though.....how you lose to some europeans :bryan:

in 2008 what was Bron doing while Wade and Kobe dominated the gold medal game:gladbron:
Wade was team USA's leading scorer in the olympics. If Kobe decides to freeze out the offense to chuck away, that's on bean. Sometimes those shots would fall.

but Kobe also called Draymond in the middle of the night giving him tips and shyt on how to win the ring :sas2:


THAT WAS 2004 KOBE TALKING TO DRAYMOND

nikka HAD A RAPE TRIAL THAT YEAR

DRAYMOND KICKING nikkaS IN THE NUTS KOBE COULD RELATE ON THAT FRONT

KYRIE IRVING IS A TRUE KOBE FAN SO HE DOESN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT 2004 LIKE THAT

REAL nikkaS KNOW 2004 NEVER HAPPENED

NBA PLANTED THE RAPE TRIAL TO PREVENT KOBE FROM WINNING MORE RINGS

OH SO KOBE DIDNT CLOSE OUT THE 4TH QTR OF THE GOLD MEDAL GAME:childplease:

KOBE FOCUSED ON DEFENSE IN 2008 OLYMPICS AND ALLOWED Wade TO BE LEADING SCORER

KOBE COULD'VE EASILY LEAD THE TEAM IN SCORING WITH GREAT EFFICIENCY BUT HE KNEW THE GOLD MEDAL GAME WOULD HE HIS.

HE KNEW IT'D BE A CLOSE GAME BECAUSE HE KNEW PAU WAS A REAL nikka AND HAD SPAIN RIGHT

SO HE JUST WAITED FOR 4TH QTR GOLD MEDAL GAME

AND WHEN DID KOBE FREEZE OUT THE OFFENSE TO CHUCK AWAY? IN THE OLYMPICS? STFU nikka:sadbron:

OH SHIIT U GOT ME!!

HE WAS 22 .... U HAVE TO BE ONE DUMB SON OF A BIITCH TO CONCLUDE THAT A PLAYERS PRIME IS HIS EARLY 20S.

U KNOW THAT, RIGHT?
Do the math, Brodie. When a player hits 30, people start saying they've lost a step. Since you have already stated several times that a prime is 6-7 years, that is around 23-29 or so. Maybe you can tell us what Kobe got better at after 2001. I'm pretty sure you've already said he was a complete player at that time.

WHAT DOES THE OFFSEASON HAVE TO DO WIT THIS CONVO SMFH

I HOPE AN ANVIL DROP ON YOUR HEAD RETARD
You said a player's prime is not 21 when @Bilz said his prime was 2001-2009. He turned 23 in 2001. Clearly you struggle with basic math as well as logic. I pray for the students you claim to teach. My community college math professor with an Iranian accent that was heavier than Arnold Schwarzenegger's Austrian accent could teach better basic math than you're struggling to grasp.

Sccit's father built a fortune with mastery of compounding interest and his son can't grasp simple addition :mjcry:

SMFH .. PLAYERS PRIME IS 26-31 GIVE OR TAKE .. BASKETBALL IQ IS NOWHERE NEAR WHERE IT SHOULD BE IN THE EARLY 20S, A PLAYERS MENTAL GRASP OF THE GAME IS STILL DEVELOPING AT THAT AGE .. AND A PLAYER CAN PHYSICALLY START DECLINING ANYWHERE FROM THE LATE 20S TO EARLY 30S....THATS WHY I SAY, ONCE AGAIN, GIVE OR TAKE. BUT NO PRIME STARTS AT 22

:snoop:

EVERY1 KNOWS THIS, IF U ARGUE AGAINST THAT THEN U DONT BELONG HERE.

So you're on record saying that Kobe's knowledge of the game was undeveloped during the entire first threepeat and beyond, right?
