[Malta]

basketball career.

So you sayin Brazilian basketball legend Oscar Schmidt (49,000pts) would have been an NBA great

 

[Newzz]

Kobe looking at LeBron Finals win percentage like

Only 6 wins out of 16 games?

One word

Spoiler

Kobe 7 finals
Shaq 6 finals



So basically, Shaq was more in need of Kobe than the other way around, especially considering that Kobe won two without Shaq and Shaq has just one without Kobe. Another thing, Shaq was swept in the finals too. Kobe, eh, not so much.

and for that scholarly analysis you get some green.

Kobe needed a big man to make it to the finals.

Kobe was part of a "dream team" that couldn't get it done. Kobe was also part of a team that got whooped pretty bad and currently sits as the worst loss in a finals. Kobe was also part of a team that gave up a 24 point lead in the finals.

Go sit down clown. Kobe is/was nothing without Shaq and Gasol. That's why he keeps pushing the FO to keep Gasol and also secretly hopes that D12 signs with the Lakers so he can match one last time.

Kobe also had the luxury to play with the greatest coach in pro history.

EDIT: Oh also forgot, check Kobe's stats in that game 7 against Boston. Without Gasol/Fisher, he would be sitting at 4 rings currently.

You need a team to win. One player is great and all, but you need an equally great player next to you, and also surrounding players that know their roles and play really good within that role.

Food for though: Fishers nba record is the same as Kobe. Does that make him better than Lebron?

Shaq needed a Kobe to win a single finals game. Shaq, was also part of that "dream team". So he lost big, doesn't matter, whether its by 1 or 50, still counts as one loss. Shaq, is nothing without Kobe. Zero finals wins or championship rings til Kobe became the premier guard in the league. Gasol? lol, the same Gasol with zero playoff wins as a member of Memphis? You have to come with significantly more than that buster. But heres the trip thing, you just ran out of ammo.

This is all very awkward considering Lakers are trying to get Bron in 2014

I really wonder what goes through yall minds when yall speak about Gasol as if he measures up to LeBron playing with DWade and Bosh. Its like yall really think Gasol was some mega superstar, drafted top 5 in the draft, putting up 28ppg a year and winning MVPs before coming to save Kobe's career Hell, yall probably do believe that shyt



Also....I hate when people act like Jordan & Bron have something over other players because they didn't have a big man. Both them nikkas, especially Bron, played with world class perimeter players.....so it evened out. Yea, usually big men affect the game better. But when you playing next to Dwayne fukking Wade or Scottie Pippen, you can have any muthafukka play center

These Bron dikkriders and Kobe haters are hilarious. So now Gasol is a great big man? Gasol is essentially Bosh before he met Kobe. And before you Bron Stans slam Bosh remember this is the same Bosh that was averaging 24 and 10 in Toronto and lead the wack as Raptors to the playoffs before he met Bron. Kobe made Gasol better and tougher. Gasol is the only PF in the league softer than Bosh. So basically Bron would have turned Gasol into a soft 3 point shooting punk too. Also dont forget the Lakers next best player was Odom. The same Odom that was NEVER even an all star.

But.....Bron played with 3 All-Star big men in his career


Carlos Boozer (who was just entering his prime), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (who has just leaving his prime), and Chris Bosh (who was in the middle of his prime).



LeBron just makes them bums
