Shaq: I Agree With What T-Mac Said. Probably Get A Lot Of Flak, But I Always Said Myself, I , I Think I Could've Got 3 In A Row With T-Mac.

[Controversy]

These dumb cult ass retards are in a thread PROUDLY bragging about Ruben fukking Patterson being their lord and saviors “stopper” while trying to convince us that nobody but Kobe Christ could have won with Shaq


The fact that they don't even comprehend the irony in that or how this in itself shyts on Kobe and his competition level is comedic gold


The most delusional and incompetent stanbase in sports history by far

Your trolling in this thread, that's nasty stuff

A fukking cult member hyping up Rebun Patterson as their leaders top opp telling anyone about “nasty work” is hilarious straight comedy central

Those whiteboys on real gm want to give up dunn, #7,#22 and portis for parsons and the #4 pick to draft luka doncic

Doncic = hedo turkoglu 2.0

"In the 2004 Finals, we exploited Kobe’s ego. We knew there was no way we could stop Shaq directly. But what would happen is that Mr. Bryant would start getting a bit discouraged from not getting the ball, and then in the second half… that’s when he’d start forcing it. He’d begin chasing and messing up the offense."
– Chauncey Billups.
Kobe took 29 more shots than Shaq in that Finals series, even though Shaq averaged 27 points per game on 62% shooting, while Kobe shot just 38% from the field during the series.

See T-Mac wouldn't have had that ego in 04

I mean Hedo was solid but it was pretty much a given Luka was going to be insane and most people knew that.

This will be ignored. This is the 04 pistons one of the greatest defensive teams ever, with Ben Wallace one of the greatest post defenders ever flat out saying they aint have shyt for shaq.

You dumb fukk that was just the first one back in 98 from practice it wasn't as serious as the other ones. Kobe wasn't even Kobe yet but Kemp was the first to really use it to amp up Ruben to defend Kobe. The term started catchin on wit other players. Bunch of defenders were termed that was ya goofy ass even old enough to watch hoops in the 2000s lol what a weird argument

“I never spoke to Kobe outside the arena—ever,” Battier said this week. “I didn’t have a relationship with him. But I knew him intimately.” Battier was the man known around the NBA as the greatest of the “Kobe Stoppers,” the select group of players who were paid to defend one of the most prolific scorers the game has ever seen. He was smart enough not to call himself a Kobe Stopper, this peculiar species that Bryant delighted in humiliating, because he understood that declaring you could stop Kobe happened to be the worst strategy for actually doing so. Nobody could stop Kobe. The best you could do was slow him down. And so it became Battier’s goal to be a human yellow light. There are few players in NBA history whose value was so inextricably linked to someone else’s.

Shane Battier, Doug Christie, Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen. Tony Allen all elite perimeter defenders that was called Kobe Stoppers.

I don't even like shaq I think hes a salty buffoon but I can objective and say whatever hes saying is "possible" TMAC wasn't a slouch at all. Steph and shaq would also actually be unguardable. yeah he isn't as good defensively as kobe but on offense you legit could not guard something like that.

Kobe is a ATG and one of the best guards ever, you're a clown if you don't believe that but these Kobe stans are dead ass cult members which I get, he passed tragically shyt fukked up but they don't argue in good faith or with much logic. If you don't believe Kobe could move heaven and earth solo then you get branded a hater or a casual or whatever

its hilarious low key

Shawn Kemp said it as a joke to motivate Ruben because he played good defense in practice. Ya can hear Kemp laughin talkin bout the video and Stephen Jackson laughin too. You are literally retarded

That's just where the term originated. Then actual elite perimeter defenders like Battier, Bowen, Tony, Christie, Raja started bein called Kobe Stoppers.

Yes that's where it started retard. Then the term started gettin used for actual elite defenders that took pride in defense and guardin Kobe. I posted the article from a actual NBA writer

"Battier was the man known around the NBA as the greatest of the “Kobe Stoppers,” the select group of players who were paid to defend one of the most prolific scorers the game has ever seen. He was smart enough not to call himself a Kobe Stopper, this peculiar species that Bryant delighted in humiliating, because he understood that declaring you could stop Kobe happened to be the worst strategy for actually doing so. "

That's what they started to get called in the 2000s you'd know that if you was watchin hoops back then. WTF are you even arguin at this point
