Lol, we just see it two different ways bro we ain’t gonna agree. What we see as truth just ain’t the same. Not that we ever had regarding this subject. If you can honestly sit there and say that Kobe didn’t learn how to be a better teammate and leader after Shaq left then how impartial are you really? Are you saying his career is just dumb luck?
Bruh, just make an argument and let's leave the emotions out of it. Where's the evidence that Kobe became a better leader and teammate? He wasn't a good leader and teammate during the Dwight Howard years. He wasn't a good leader or teammate during his last few injury riddled years with that young crew. He was never a particularly good teammate or leader.
think that Kobe was a great player. He just wasn't as good as his fans believe him to be. His career wasn't dumb luck, it was god given attributes/talent mixed with a lot of hard work and a lot of good fortune. As great as Kobe was he was even more fortunate. If he had began his career in Charlotte, it plays out completely different. There's no guarantee he gets 1 ring, let alone 5.
My question is relevant because no one can answer it despite their declarations that Kobe gave no effort or didn’t try in that game. What I can agree on though, is that having this incident on his record (it looked bad whether he was right or wrong) and saying what he said didn’t make him the best messenger but I still agree with his points.
Your question is irrelevant because my point isn't about him shooting. My point isn't about his lack of effort. If you say that he was following the "be a playmaker for others" game plan then fine, but that doesn't explain why he wasn't being a playmaker for others
He wasn't doing ANYTHING, is my point. He had clearly quit.
Lmfao at Odom being a better replacement that Love. Love was at least hitting his threes, Odom wasn’t gonna give you a bunch of offensive support like that. Perhaps in addition to what they had, Odom from those Lakers title squads could’ve made a big difference but not by himself.
Love was a whopping 9-28 from 3 in the finals. Stop it man. I stand by what I said. That version of Odom would've been a better fit for this cavs team than Love. People think that th only way to play with Lebron is to be a spot up shooter but that's just ignorance of the game. An Odom type player wouldn't have to be a spot up shoote playing with Lebron. A guy who could actually create off of the dribble could easily play the draymond green role in "bron-ball" and take advantage of mini 3on2s and 2on1s that the attention Lebron draws. If the cavs had anybody that could create consistently off of the dribble besides Lebron they would've been a much better match for the warriors. Plus that version of Odom was his own match up problem.
