Lame shyt by Gil. Lock him in a room with Towns for 30 min and Gil would be to scared to even look at him.
Gil would talk kind and then go on his show and say what he would have done

Just like he is quiet as hell when he is near Kwane but only has words on the Internet.

Idk man, maybe just that specific year they have a point. I was too young. But I have memory of Kobe in that all star game where Jordan hit the shot at the buzzer, Kobe was already looked at as a level higher than his opps. At least by me. Even iverson, we always said if he was Kobe’s height he’d be the best. But he wasn’t. Lol

People were definitely making the argument that McGrady was better or on his level around that time.

Nick Young Kobe standom was solidified with this clip. The idea that people were suggesting T Mac might be better in 2002 sent him into an autistic rage.
My thing with that convo is that people ignore two factors IMO. One is that the Lakers barely scraped by two of those years. It's not like they just ran through the league all three years so just dropping any other good perimeter players wasn't a guaranteed success. Especially with Kobe at that time being so great on both ends of the court.

The second thing people ignore is that it takes a special kind of a$$hole to average 27/28 playing with Shaq. It took T-Mac getting away from Vince to really break out and show how much of a beast he was. If T-Mac played with Shaq I could easily see him being too passive to make the Lakers as much of a force. I think T-Mac had the talent but not the personality to be as dominant playing next to Shaq.
