To say that the only numbers that matter are the ones that can be twisted to say that Kobe was on prime Shaqs level. Its a childish game they've been playing for years.

not gonna post stats, awards, accolades just a couple simple facts most bandwagon fans (aka you Cleveland, Miami, golden state, and past thunder fans) seem to always ignore:
Kobe came into the league straight outta high school.
Shaq came into the league after polishing his skills for 3 years at LSU.
Shaq was already an established star, having spent 8 seasons in the league before they went on their run together,
Kobe was a 4 year pro, working harder and harder to earn his minutes, the boy started 6 games as a rookie, averaging 15 minutes per game.. and was an All-Star the next season.
By the time They made the finals, Shaq had 11 years of college and NBA experience, a polished man, already in his prime.
Kobe had 4 years of college and NBA experience, a youngster, barely scratching the surface of his prime.
And he performed at, or very near the level of Shaq on most nights.
Kobe wasn't destined to change the culture of LA, nor be the face of the franchise, like Shaq was when he signed to LA, or when he was drafted by ORL.
Yet Kobe didn't shy away from big moments, nor big shots and he damn sure didn't succumb to the Kevin Durant beta gene.
Shaq was the First overall pick, Kobe the 13th overall pick.
They formed an amazing dynamic, the greatest one-two punch in the history of the NBA. (Yes better than Jordan and Pippen, better than Magic and Kareem, Stockton and Malone)
Yet that little scrawny punk ass kid from Lower Marion high school won 5 titles,
and that larger than life Superstar won 4.
Y'all just too bandwagon to realize facts, and accept greatness.
Bonus:
You all rather cape for a 6'8, 270 pound physical specimen who flops around like a ballerina.
No identity. Y'all just made being a bandwagon ass casual "fan" acceptable in this day in age just like y'all made being a trendhopping fukkboy acceptable in this day and age.
