Magic On Kobe: He's on my Mount Rushmore

[fantabolous]

3. Yes - you did overspeak on Scott. He was not an All-Star like you said. He was a good scorer with good athleticism.
So were Mitch Ritchmond and Lamar Odom. Why do they get dismissed for being by Kobe's side?

please be consistent though... you shyt on a nikka for including bob mcadoo, but you use mitch richmond of all people?

If he included McAdoo, why shouldn't we include Rock?

is this even a serious question????

mcadoo was playing 20 minutes a game and still scoring in double figures... mitch richmond scored 3 points in the lakers championship playoff run. not per game, the nikka scored 3 points total

You're making my point - the fact that Mitch (a fuccen ALL-STAR MVP, and career 20+ppg scorer) wasn't being used on that Laker team that was allegedly lacking denotes that maybe said team was more loaded than people like to say.

I think it more proved that Mitch was 36 years old, and just didn't have it anymore, it was his last year in the league and he wasn't anywhere near a high quality player anymore. Keep in mind he was coming off of tearing up his knee and missing like half the year.

Mcadoo had 3 productive Laker years and then another decent year in Philly (double figures) and he retired

Please stop trying to argue this, the Lakers weren't more loaded, and mitch Richmond's lack of playing time definitely doesn't have anything to do with it

YOU keep in mind that Mitch's only season in L.A. was the only season in his pro career he scored less than 16ppg -
yeah, including the couple of years before when he still was playing on a bad knee.

What I was arguing is not simply that "the Lakers were more loaded" during Kobe's formidable years than Magic's years,
but that Kobe wasn't just playing with "bums" while Magic was playing with All-Stars and Hall Of Famers.
Y'all are not just gonna kick names of the "All-Stars and Hall Of Famers" Magic played with and not contextualize them, then scrutinize
the "All-Stars and Hall Of Famers" Kobe played with without gettin' called out for that.
