Nick Wright: "Kobe was never the best player in the league once in his career"

[Art Barr]

Lebron stans

That shyt stopped as soon as he traded away another failed three peat with wiggins,..
fukk lebron cause I rooted that always loses the same way loser ass nikka on through all his bullshyt scary anxiety filled career.
Then when he gets a doppelganger with his missing pedigree at the two and three from college, organically.
Bron goes the extra mile to break up the most pedigreed backcourt in nba history.

fukk lebron james.

Art Barr's random three-year rampage against the Cavs trading away Wiggins has got to be my favorite multi-year ongoing Coli rant.

I can not wait till that fraud lebron wins this year.
So, I can rub it in how he lost another three peat, the second three peat......
I get to gloat and talk shyt.
Even, if his lame ass win.
So I hope he win and if he ever converts a three peat.
It took him three tries bron fukked it all up to do it once too.
So, I still get to talk shyt about that loser ass shyt, too.
LeBron is a self induced loser.
He only lauced't because he lost not because someone was better or took it from him.


Art Barr

fukk lebron james,.....I still win, even if bron wins or losea.
If he lose,...oh I get to go with the he created his own loser baswed narrative and created golden state, too.
All cause he traded away the player in wiggins.
who can handle and beat the warriors.
Way before lebron figured it out by the way as well.

I will be winning this war forever.

2006 & 2007

"Kobe got 1 MVP as a lifetime achievement award"

Cotdamn

and it should have gone to cp3

 

[Xyrax]

I mean, he's right. But there's more to a player than just meeting that metric. Kobe is greatness, regardless of never being the single best player in the league during his career. These things just aren't so black and white.

 

[SwagKingKong]

Its correct. He wasnt the best player in the league for a season.

Man what are you talking about that team was not stacked just say u hate kobe and keep it moving

I grew up a Laker fan, was still a fan when Kobe came (traded for divac) who I also admired as a ball player. Del Harris coaching, Nick the slick, Cedric Ceballos dropping house party bangers, young Kobe tossing up back to back to back airballs in a game.

I was all in on Kobe. I wasn't fond of the fact he didn't wanna create his own identity and instead tried to duplicate Jordan. What is Kobe's signature move? (Doesn't exist)

Him beefing with Shaq when Shaq was Batman. Him snitching on Shaq to the police/media.. You was feeling that?
When Shaq left, Lakers missed the playoffs, how he elite and can't even be an 8th seed? They finished 34-48 that season.

As this is going on I watch as Kobe De-evolved as a leader. He tried to be Jordan in every sense of the word including how he would get into his teammates. The problem is Jordan ain't never tell a nikka what he doing wrong while going 34-48

nikkaz didn't respect him because he wasn't as good as he thought he was. Laker fans ignored the obvious, as long as you win a title who cares if Kobe is hated by his teammates? Well, his career ended accordingly. Awesome final game even tho according to Patrick Beverly he kinda Russell'd that joint

He took the worst roster in the league to the playoffs and almost upset a stacked suns team. He is a top 5 player off all time

What year you talking about and if that is your reason for why he is top 5 then

LeBron can't guard players who shoot well? Son this post is B.S. from top to bottom

oh really

so we're going to act like james harden have not given lebron that work ever since he turned into mvp harden? we know harden plays zero defense so i could care less what bron scored in this discussion. the point is. bron can't guard harden. why not? he has great footwork, can dribble and SHOOT well. its much easier to use your athletic ability and not have to use smarts when guarding dudes that are all athleticism like a derozan but with a suspect jumpshot. its another thing to guard someone that isnt so one dimensional. where you have to out guess their next move because you have no idea if they're going to shoot the 3, one step pull up midi, shoot the fade.. the stepback. drive to the rack, the floater. you dont know. thats a much harder cover. than guarding some guy constantly rushing the rim because he doesnt believe in his own ability to knock down shots. It's the same reason why he can't really guard pg13 either. not that it matters his team sucks. so bron will always win that game when need be come playoff time.

Even nick young gives him problems at times when he gets starter mins. for the same reason. he can shoot well, and has handles.

You must be having real issues remembering the ghost zone and trouncing Detroit basketball gave kobe.

Dwade was never a guy in high pressure moments when healthy you could leave alone and he was a dangerous open shooter in times of high intensity from any range.
Especially in 09, and in the era before captain jerk dislocated his rc and shoulder all season long.

I think you are missing major portions of the kobe and bron failures.
Maybe you just know they lost but you do not know how they lost.


Art Barr

dont mix kobe with bron.

detroit hacking the day crack out of kobe, zoning up guys behind the initial perimeter hack fest withou out the calls being called half the time. yeah i remember detroit. just like i remember when Thibbs had the celtics doing the very same thing to him.

but that was easier to do with a then not as dominant shaq, hurt malone, old man Gp beefing with Pjax. vs the pistons. and soft gasol and Odom not mentally ready to step up, bynum hurt, ariza hurt playing the celtics.

yep, i remember.

where as dwade had a fully healthy squad vs dallas(a much softer team, less defensive minded). but those perimeter guards were cutting wade's drives off a lot in that series. and wade was getting bailed out time after time after time. and sent to the line so much it made the defense loosen up. well you can't do that with a star scorer as good as wade. you give him 15+ ft's and he will start making his mid range shots as well as having easier drives to the rack(which is what he does best).

dwade was a very good player that i always liked and thought he would be as good as he was when i use to watch him at marquette. but i also knew he flaw. which was he couldnt really shoot that well. which is why he was always on the ground because he was rushing the rim with no regard for his body.

2001 was Iversons year. Don't know why breh gave it to shaq

 

[Supreme365]

Led a team full of role players to back to back championships also

 

[rapbeats]

I am trying to figure out you and his selective memories, actually.

Art Barr

first off i wasnt just talking about mid range jumpers. 3's too. yes dwade bought himself a nice little mid range at the elbow. a little rush in there. stop and turn around with the fade. he tried to use it on dallas 100 times. but i recall they were not going for it after a few times they've seen it. so he would stop, fade back, wouldnt jump. come back forward. up fake to dry to get the defender up to cause contact since the defense wasnt going for his original move. they wouldnt fall for the fake. yet he would jump into them with them just standing their with their hands up. TWEET. whistle. FOUL. dwade marches to the line like he did something. again. there's a reason Tracy Mcgrady thought that series was suspect and so did I and so did most people that were not just super dwade fans that would look the otherway just to say their favorite player won one.


Now lets talk about the fact that dwade was a super athletic guard, from chicago. that was about rushing the rim. Why wasnt dwade compared to Jordan every other day like Kobe or bron?

See the reason I know kobe is the goat SG//SF is because they went from trying to say everyone is the next Jordan and comparing them to mike. to comparing them to KOBE. no matter how much hate they try to slide kobe's way when they did this. They still use kobe as the measuring stick.

the only ... THE only reason you use someone as the ruler is because they are the GOAT you measure everything else by. THink about that for a moment. dwade played much more like jordan than lebron. dwade had an actual killer instinct something bron didnt have really.
