In 2001, Kobe was the second best player in the league after Shaq. His performance in the Western Conference Playoffs proved it. You nikkas need to realize that Shaq held back Kobe INDIVIDUALLY. If Kobe switched places with AI in 2001, he would've prolly woulda averaged 35/6/5 for the season. Remember how Kobe went off whenever Shaq wasn't playing. He scored 56 points in 3 quarters in 2002 after Shaq was suspended for swinging at Brad Miller.
Not saying he'd would've won titles over Shaq but his game INDIVIDUALLY was superior to Allen Iverson in 2001. He was a better shooter, defender, and playmaker. AI was only quicker and arguably a better penetrator but I wouldn't say it was clear cut.
Yes Cac. You ran a model off because you said nikkas was giving her too much attention, that officially makes you a fakkit in not only my book but in the book of every straight Male in the Coli.
You can show that goofy ass smilie all year long...he wasn't rated higher than Iverson in 2001 or DEFINITELY wasn't the bread and butter of the Lakers. They had a losing record when Shaq wasn't there and when Kobe was out with just Shaq there, they had a winning record, which suggested he was just a role player and always was grounds for the argument of him being replaceable by McGrady or any other simiilar type with Shaq. Didn't matter. That's where all of that came from. He was a great asset to Shaq but he was a ball hog and made games harder when he took wild shots instead of them running the offense to Shaq for easy transition points. Team was dominant but that's where some of the tension came from.
In 2001, Shaq, Duncan, Garnett, Iverson, and Kobe was going strong. But really..there was no answer for Shaq when it came down to it and that's why he was the dominant player of the era. He made everything easier for everyone..perimeter players the most. The instant double teams made Kobe's job VERY easy compared to Iverson.

And at this point, it turns from debate to flat out delusional talk.
oh this forum will be in a heap of trouble once Kobe passes cheese eyes next season.
No he wasn't. A.I. was....
Hasn't he already passed Jordan in most statistics?
Your people had him ranked as a equal to Shaq and Iverson in 2001 and you speak of wild delusions? LOL.
Yup but that all time scoring list will be the straw that broke the jordan stans back.

Hasn't he already passed Jordan in most statistics?
You sure? He already leads jordan in Assists, Shot attempts, steals, blocks, fg%, games played, minutes played, and injuries faked.
Why would total points matter? Even kobe's 3rd biggest stan, Cantstop once said "Kobe is not better than jordan and never will be."
Will he change his mind if and when kobe has more points than jordan?![]()

You really think it's less delusional to call Kobe a role player, Kobe Bryant, than to say he was better than Allen Iverson (which can easily be backed up with reason) in 2001? So now we call people who average 29,7,7 in the playoffs role players without batting an eye now? And that's not delusional? Just admit you overstated your point and keep it moving.
When have I said that?![]()
