The fact you can’t recognize the importance of that mindset to winning says more about you than it does about me.

:hubie:
Every playoffs we see guys who have the physical ability to dominate or skills through the roof that can’t handle the pressure and don’t got the Will to win. It‘s Not that they choke, they just ain’t built to step up under pressure. Kobe might have given it a brand name but it’s always been there and Shaq didn’t have it.

I honestly think Kobe stans would have no problem defending him over their family.

Its fascinating to watch. Shaq is probably talking out of his ass but the fervent and quick defense of Kobe legacy is a spectacle to behold on here.

Kobe was defending Mike Bibby, Manu, AI, Bonzi, Penny in the West
nikka said Bonzi Wells :mjlol:Bonzi fukking Wells was his adversary…..thank you for making my point

Penny was a shell of himself on PHO
Kobe was not the primary defender on AI or Bibby stop with these fukking fairytales
Manu didn't even become a real factor until Kobe already had 3 rings
While contending with AI, Mckie, Snow, Reggie, Jalen Rose, Kidd, Kittles, and Richard Jefferson in the finals
This shyt is making my point for me beautifully :lolbron:imagine writing out “he had to contend with Aaron Mckie and 36 year old Reggie Miller” and expecting to be taken serious

Yeah people always forget that Shaq was a goofball mentally inspite his physical anbility and Kobe came in with the winning mindset (mamba mentality)
Kobe is a lot like The United State of America. Great PR, the Hollywood machine behind it, But the cultured, real ones, know it's not as good as its made out to be.

Why didn't either of them make these statements when he was still alive?

Imagine dummies shytting on the guy in the same league that prioritized Kobe stoppers :mjlol:

You really don't know the game...

Kobe wasn't AI nor Bibby's primary defender, but when it was crunch time, he was the guy

Eric Snow was one of the best defenders in the league in the early 00s

yeah but he was not very threatening on offense, those teams were built entirely on AI being god. And it worked for a game at least.

I think he scored like 10 a game them finals

I'm not going to lie it's crazy seeing the past 2 or so weeks people act like Kobe was just some regular all-star caliber guy. One thing for the media, but players are too which is crazy to see.
You act like shaq said jerry stackhouse or some shyt. Hes an all star caliber guy. Tmac is an alltime great.

The Sixers were built to win games with defense...they literally had a backcourt that had E. Snow, Raja Bell & Aaron McKie...who were all def savants on the perimeter

If you add in george lynch...it's one of the greatest perimeter defenses the league ever saw

They simply ran into a buzzsaw
