Nobody devalues Magic's rings when he played with Kareem and number 1 picks in Michael Thompson and James Worthy and Hall of famer Ben Mcadoo. Nobody devalues Larry Bird's rings playing with 3 or 4 other Hall of famers. I wonder why?
Thankfully the people have an outlet (YouTube) to disprove fake narratives from the media and casuals (like yourself) who think they understand the nuances of a game because the can read numbers on a stat sheet.
Kobe before he cried in the parking lot for a trade for a multi time allstar in the prime of his career couldn’t get out of the 1st round either.
Still deflecting from the topic?
Kobe was complaining about the Lakers turning down a trade for Jason Kidd. Yet he still came into the following season without any trade being made and led them to a number 1 seed before getting Gasol in a trade later that year. Then after getting Gasol, reeled off 3 straight trips to the finals winning 2 of them.
Bad back Mac on the other hand got booted out the first round even with Yao Ming(who was better than Pau Gasol). Then the following year he sat back and watched Ron Artest lead his same team out the first round. Let that sink in. RON ARTESTt led TMacs team better and further than TMac ever did:
We have evidence of a player replace bad back Mac and going further, yet you think bad back Mac can replace a better player and achieve the same results? Oh but since you can read stat sheets and watch ball is life highlights, it makes you think you understand basketball
This is directly addressing you claiming Kobe had heart and never gave up doofus. We have documented evidence of him giving up dumbass
Nope. I posted about what Kobe said IN THE VIDEO in comparison to TMac making guarantees then blaming his teammates when he got outplayed by Baron Davis. Instead of addressing that(because you can't), you're arguing against what some person decided to title the video.
Defensive rating in the NBA is a stat that estimates the points allowed by a player per 100 possessions while they are on the court.
Dumbass
I didn't need you to define it. I just said I know you cant without google and you can't. I also know you don't know how to calculate the rating without googling either.
You don't understand basketball. You just read stats from 2 different players and think because one is more or less than the other that it tells the whole story. But hey, don't deflect from the list again:
Marcus Smart- 107.9
Gary Payton- 105.6
Jrue Holiday- 109
Andre Iguoudala- 105
Manu Ginobili- 100
I didn't bring up this stat, YOU DID.. So what does it tell you about the stat when Manu Ginobili has a 100 defensive rating and Jrue Holiday has a 109?
