back when the western conference was powerful

now we got big men like gobert dominating, p*ssykat towns, young players like Ant who haven't done shyt getting crowned.

the NBA used to mean something

look at the bigs in that game compared to the bigs in the west :dead:

2000-2001 Kobe had one of the most underrated Play-off runs of all-time.

People forget that year Kobe had the highest +/- in NBA postseason history, only outdone by Steph and Draymond in 2016-2017. So still at 3rd place even though the league's offenses are insane today.

Dude simply played two-way effective basketball on and off-ball that year.


Didn't overdribble. Didn't fish for iso's. Most of his shots were in-structure and disciplined.



Additionally, a lot of people don't give Kobe a lot of credit for having to pull out some wins because the other team was going to start cranking the Hack a Shaq.
