LeBron hurt the Lakers big time this year: this is in large part LeBron's fault.

Shaq got 15 first place votes in 02, Kobe got 1

Why would Kobe win MVP in 2007 when they won 42 games and Dirk shot 40% from 3 and led the league in per by like a mile on 67 win team



Kobe fans are deranged.

This is the only site on the internet where Kobe Stans can congregate and spew their garbage takes on a Bron vs Kobe debate lol.

That debate ended 10+ years ago

Yall are literally that Japanese soldier still “fighting” WW2 in 1970’s

Considering OP took his screen name from Tywin Lannister…and he was killed off on Game of Thrones in 2014…it makes sense for the rest of OP’s life to be stuck back then too.

Let us all get along for two more first round exits fellas

They pivoted to 27 year old Dwight who was 1st team all-NBA the season prior and they barely even made the playoffs. But I forgot it doesn't count because "Pau checked out "

You mean the season where the starting 5 played a whopping 7 games together? That's how we know y'all wasn't watching these games.

Shaq was unequivocally the best player on those Lakers teams.

The fact that you losers rank Kobe above Shaq all-time is also a joke

Shaq obviously the most efficient player in the league 99, 00, 01, and always in the top 5 up to 04.

Kobe top 25 EFF in 99, top 15 in 00, top 5 in 01, top 10 in 02, top 5 in 03, top 10 in 04.

Shaq average PER 28.9 from 99-04; Kobe 23.9

Shaq defensive rating 84.2; Kobe 81.3




Don’t make me embarrass you again MC Ginsberg

VERY DISINGENUOUS TO USE FINALS NUMBERS BECAUSE THE REAL COMPETITION WAS IN THE WEST, AND KOBE UNEQUIVOCALLY OUTPLAYED SHAQ IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

SHAQ DID FEAST ON THE WEAK EASTERN CONFERENCE CENTERS IN A CONCENTRATED EFFORT TO SECURE FINALS MVP

BUT EVERYONE WHO WAS THERE IN REAL TIME KNOWS KOBE WAS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD BY 2001 WHEN HE WAS AVERAGING 30 AND MAKING ALL-DEFENSE

ONLY THING SHAQ HAD ON KOBE WAS SENIORITY .. KEEP TRYIN THO

SHAQ HAD SENIORITY .. IT WAS CONSIDERED HIS TEAM BUT KOBE WAS THE BETTER OVERALL PLAYER BY 2001. MVP MEANS NOTHING, ITS A NARRATIVE BASED AWARD

WESTBROOK WON THE MVP WHEN HIS TEAM WAS 6TH IN THE WEST LOLLL

BUT KOBE WIT 47 WINS LOSES TO SOMEONE WHO AVERAGED 15 PPG WHEN HE HAD A HISTORICAL SCORING SEASON AND SINGLE HANDEDLY CARRIED THE LAKERS ON HIS BACK TO THE PLAYOFFS

YEA OK

The season where Kobe, Dwight, and Artest each played 75+ games.

The Lakers were 25-22 in games Dwight, Kobe, and Pau played together

I said the starting 5, not your cherry picked 3. You brought up Dwight being all first team the previous year, when he clearly wasn't the same player and was actually a downgrade for them at the center position. And with all that they still had the best record post all star break.
