NBA Players That Stick To One Team

[Trojan 24]

Shaq and Kareem were better than kobe though...if lakers had a choice they would have kept shaq and got rid of kobe back in 04 05

But they did have a choice and Buss chose Kobe

I want to know when did rings become so heavily weighed in judging player's career. Until recently, being a ringless great player didn't have any stigma on a player's accolades, nor prevent them from being considered a great. it's what they did night in and night out, the way they played that they will be remembered. Now it's like"they HAVE to win a ring", in order for someone to be considered great? HA! Yeah right.

lakers would have been retarded to choose 32 year old shaq over a 26 year old kobe in 2004.

Doesn't mean a damn thing. Everyone's situation is different.

If KG never leaves the Wolves, he's seen as a perennial loser, much like Melo and T-Mac.

You can't have it both ways. You can't judge a player largely by team success (rings), but then ask said player to remain loyal as opposed to seeking out the best situation for him to attain team success.

The guys who've stayed in one city typically were in a great situation to begin with. A larger market attractive to free agents and they always had talent around them. Wade in the post-Shaq years prior to 2010 is probably the one exception.

San Antonio is a large market city?:rudyasmith:

San Antonio is a place free agents want to go?:rudyasmith:

Talent around them? I bet you can't name 15 spurs players over the last 15 years NOT named Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Ginobli :yeah ok:

So Kareem is less of a player cause he got traded?
