Shaq doubles down on winning without Kobe:” I coulda won 3 in a row with Vince “.

[NYC Rebel]

WATCH HOW EASY
I BREAK THIS DOWN

1. GASOL LED HIS TEAM
TO THE PLAYOFFS 3 TIMES
BEFORE COMING TO LA
AND HAD A 50 WIN SEASON
UNDER HIS BELT.

THIS WASNT GASOLS FIRST PLAYOFF RUN
UNLIKE VINCE/MAC

2. KOBE HAD 3 TITLES UNDER
HIS BELT BY THE TIME PAU CAME THROUGH WHICH MEANT HE COULD
SHOW PAU HOW TO WIN.

3. SHAQ ON THE OTHER HAND
HADNT WON shyt BY 2000
AND WAS SWEPT OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS
4 OUT OF THE PREVIOUS 5 SEASONS
WHICH MEANT WHEN shyt GOT TOUGH
HIS TEAMS FOLDED LIKE bytchES EVERYTIME.

PAIRING HIM WITH SOME OTHER
CAREER UNDERACHIEVER WITH
ZERO PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE WOULD
HAVE LED TO THE SAME RESULTS
AS THE PREVIOUS 5 SEASONS.

SHAQ NEEDED A DOG LIKE KOBE


​

Pau got bumped in the first round year after year. Wtf does any of that other shyt matter?

And wheres the point about Phil? Shaq saw a championship appearance minus Phil. Talking about his past sweeps is meaningless considering they came in deep playoff runs. A change in coach took him over the top along with playing Kobe, but that change wouldnt have worked with T Mac or Vince because of “their past?” Pau wasnt any more dominant than T Mac or Vince pre Phil Jackson but here you are pretending that he was.

Its crazy how you can use T Macs past against him as if Pau didnt have the same 1st round failures.

Shaq was one of the most dominant players the league has ever seen and saw a championship appearance before joining the Lakers . He needed a good sidekick and great coach to win which he had in Kobe and Phil. Shaq was good enough that he wouldve won with Phil period along with a player lesser than Kobe

NOPE

THE 3PEAT LAKERS
WERE JUST SHAQ AND KOBE

THE NEXT RUN WAS
KOBE, PAU, BYNUM, ODOM
AND THEN ARTEST.
MUCH MORE TOP END TALENT
THAN THE FIRST RUN.

ITS WASNT AS SIMPLE AS
PAIRING KOBE WITH PAU
AND WINNING TITLES
LIKE SHAQ AND KOBE

And I feel T Mac could’ve had similar success. Indicting him for his past as if you cant do the same for Pau who had the same resume is horseshyt. “He wOn 50 gAMeS.” He kept getting bumped in the first round too. Joining Kobe and Phil changed everything. T Mac joining Shaq and Phil likely changes everything for T Mac too.

It aint that much of a reach not is it an insult of Kobe

 

[MITS]

You guys are all dweebs

Rip Kobe

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Post what Phil said during the 01 playoffs you incel fakkit.

This demented sassy goofus is furious!

What a disgrace

Pull up ya granny panties you old crow

NO nikka
HE JOINED KOBE, BYNUM AND ODOM.
THEY WERE THE NUMBER 1 SEED
BEFORE PAU JOINED THE TEAM.
HE DIDNT JUST JOIN KOBE.

TMAC AINT KOBE
AND ISNT A TOP 30 PLAYER
LET ALONE TOP 10 ALL TIME
SO SAYING HE WOULD 3PEAT
WITH SHAQ AND A BUNCH
OF ROLE PLAYERS IS LAUGHABLE.

Tmac on the Magic is what we are referring to. That was same time period as the Laker 3peat

Tmac for those 4 years on the Magic was unstoppable

You put Tmac from those Magic teams on that Laker team instead of Kobe that is a 3PEAT nikka

TMAC WAS NOT
ON ORLANDO IN 2000.

HE WAS ON TORONTO
WITH VINCE GETTING
SWEPT OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS

Shaq was a horrible teammate tho

A reality where Mac gets tf outta there by season 3 is also probable

Tmac was on the Magic beginning with the 2000-2001 season which was the 2nd title team for the Lakers.

Also funny that Prime Shaq never gets blame for the horrible Lakers Play-Off exits either with Prime Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, etc.

Prime Shaq who “can win titles anyone” was 1-9 vs Utah in the Play-Offs with Eddie Jones.

They throw everyone else under the bus and “selfish” players. Not the fact dude goes 6/16 or 10/25 vs the Jazz or fouling out. Rather blame a rookie Kobe for the losses.

If Kobe never came around, does dude really get a ring?

And both Eddie and Nick were nice af, they should at least equal 1 T-mac lol

 

[In The Zone '98]

KD left the Warriors

When you're making shyt up for discussion. Anything is possible

 

[Sccit]

DUMBASSES CONTINUE IGNORING THAT KOBE WAS FAR AND AWAY THE LAKERS TOP DEFENDER

YOU TAKE HIM OUT THE EQUATION AND REPLACE HIM WITH A MEDIOCRE DEFENDER

AND THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

USE YOUR COMMON SENSE

 

[VegetasHairline]

TMac was so unstoppable in Orlando but he couldn't get out of the first round.
