Kevin Durant is better then Kobe ever was true or false?

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Hell fukking no.

Sure he looked good playing with Kobe. But Kobe would have won with any of those guys

Pau was more skilled.

 

[Rekkapryde]

Lebron made him look like a kid

31ppg, 6 reboundz, 1 steal, 1 block, 55% fg, 39% from 3 is locking someone up now?

Servant was not the reason they lost. Google ended the age of

Russ terrible 3 point shooting and Harden shyttin the bed was why they lost

Would Kobe have joined the 2004 Pistons?

Did you watch that series? He was their MVP.

 

[Edub]

Nah.....kobe at peak is classic shyt




Durant always having alphas around him hurts his ranking (this playoff year will tell a lot tho)

 

[WMG the 2nd]

Would Kobe have joined the 2004 Pistons?

Did kobe try to join the pistons
And bulls
And clippers

No.

If he wanted to be on those teams, he would have been on those teams.

Snitchbe got cooked by Richard Hamilton

 

[Professor Emeritus]

if kobe was on that ‘16 squad they win the chip

Kobe + Westbrook would have been a horrific combination on offense, the team wouldn't have had anyone to focus their defensive energy on guards on defense, and the biggest reason the Thunder nearly won was by dumping the ball into their big men.

Imagine the Thunder with two guards taking 45-50 shots a game at 40% shooting on offense and then those two guys being forced to play defense on the other end.

If Kobe was on that 2016 squad they wouldn't have gotten past the Spurs in the WCSF.

At no point in Paus career was he a top 3 big.

Dirk
Duncan
Dwight
KG
Bosh
Then Pau

\

Did ya'all not see what Pau did with Dwight in 2009? Or what he did in the Finals in 2010?

By 2009-2011 Pau was definitely a top-3 two-way big man. He had all sorts of offensive touch and could give you 20 on that end inside and out while also dominating the boards and protecting the rim on defense.

Bosh was still one-dimensional, he didn't develop on the defensive side of the ball until 2012-2013. Dirk was always one-dimensional. Duncan and Garnett were on the decline by 2009.

After Yao's injuries took him down and Duncan/Garnett got older and past peak, I'm taking Dirk, Dwight, and Pau as the top 3 big men in the NBA over that 2009-2011 stretch, and Pau was the one of the three whose skills were most balanced on both ends.

WHEN DID KOBE SHOOT 40% NICK?

 

[Sccit]

THAT LOSER JUST SAID PAU WAS A 2WAY PLAYER LMFAO

HIS ENTIRE POSTING CAREER REVOLVES AROUND DISCREDITING KOBE

HE’S THE GAY LOVECHILD OF NICK WRIGHT AND KATE FABER

He didn't though.

He won a couple times (and lost a couple) in 1999-2004 when you had Shaq and Kobe doubling up against a Spurs team with Duncan and no other all-stars.

And then he won in 2008 when Ginobli was hurt and the Spurs were down to Duncan, TP, and a bunch of 36-year-olds who were waiting to retire. That Spurs team didn't do anything again until Kawhi came.
And he didn't have to share the ball with another low-% shooting ball-dominant defense-forgetting guard like Westbrook for any of those runs.

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

Yeah, we talking about Kobe though who got embarrassed by a MUCH worse version of Durant.

Didn't 33 year old Kobe get embarrassed by the same version of Durant that got embarrassed by Lebron? Even though Bosh was crippled and needed surgery after tearing his groin?

A 34 year old with a tenosynovitis shin getting locked up by a 24 year old. And KD put up 30 on 54% in the 2012 finals so what do you mean “lebron made look like a kid”? That thunder team went up against a prime Heat squad in which even Mike miller made a record 3s in game 5. Even Mario chambers was hitting that game compared to a thunder team where westbrook had one of the worse performances by a point guard in one of those games and harden was neither here nor there.

When he met a more experienced KD we seen what happened

 

[JackRoss]

Durant is like a 7 foot kobe

shyt really ain’t fair

But Kobe da gawd.


I do find it hypocritical that Durant will be punished for joining the warriors When other guys get pushed to top 3 status even while losing 3 out of the last 4 titles and 6 finals Ls overall... I ain’t gonna say no names tho

This post derailed the thread. Yall sleepin though
