Disrespect da fukk TMAC do to be disrespected?
A dead 5 time legend is gone and you setting here talking about TMAC disrespect. Get your dumb ass outta here!!!
More disrespect yall treating tmac like he was a bum. He’s one of the best players to ever play and you saying what has he done to be disrespected. I hate ring culture. Winning rings is a team achievement.

Yeah the nerve of this still being a topic of discussion is crazy. T-Mac? That died at the lunch table in the early 2000s after that 3-1 lead got lost. The fact Kobe is dead makes it more annoying. nikkaz talk a lot of shyt, but that’s after I’m gone, cuz they fear me in the physical form. :ehh:
Exactly we talked about this shyt back in college days. Da fukk we almost 30 years later hoop dreaming on “if I played” type shyt

Gasol was gonna be a hall of famer even without Kobe. He has 20k plus points and 10k plus rebounds which only 17 players have done all of them are in the hall of fame. I didn’t even list all of his international accomplishments.
Of course I’m exaggerating a bit, it’s the nba everyone is hall of fame. And we obviously don’t know how good he would be without Kobe, but he wouldn’t be a player anyone talks about not too far above his brother.

He was good but people act like he was much better than say a LaMarcus Aldridge who got his 5 all nbas, very many all-stars, 20k points and 9k rebounds.

Hall of fame also considers longevity. But winning titles don’t. He was a 18 point 10 rebound guy, his totals are irrelevant in these* discussions

Aaaaaand, the only reason Shaq won with Kobe is because Kobe was an asswhole (in a productive way) you have to be an a hole to win with a young Shaq because he was jealous of Penny and Kobe. He admitted he messed up with Penny due to his ego. He tried the same shyt with Bean and Bean said
e604a17cb99233612788ad25ee66a20d.gif

to Shaq and made him respect him. T Mac’s soft ass would’ve NEVER stood up to Shaq and demand he be great and demanded his respect and demanded the ball like Bean did. He would’ve been getting shyt in the shoe pranks like Shaq did with the other young niqqas. Bean wasn’t playing NONE of that shyt. He damn near got his ass whooped fighting Shaq for his respect ON and OFF the court, and HE WON. So NO you just can’t throw any other perimeter player in there to win with Shaq. The ONLY reason he won with Miami was because he said that he RELINQUISHED the lead to DWade because Gary Payton pulled him to the side and told him he needed to and Shaq also said he should done that with Kobe before leaving LA and he regretted it. So nah, T Mac ain’t Bean, you can’t walk over Bean and he’s much smarter than Mac.
So penny was an a hole because they got to a finals and damn sure know tmac is better than penny

Yea he almost 3 peated because he got pau. before pau and after Shaq he was doing exactly the same same thing t mac was doing. The way yall disrespect t mac is crazy.

Shaq got to play with Kobe. A kid putting up 26ppg, 29ppg. When it was Kobe's turn, he was supposed to win with Kwame and Smush huh? Where was Kobe's teammate that could put up 30 points? Y'all Kobe haters low-key respect Kobe ALOT because y'all expect alot from him.

Kobe just like Pac, they can’t let my nikka fukkin rest. :snoop:

And no, he was as talented but didn’t have the same obsessive drive.



The legend is rising:blessed:


Told yall once Lebron retires and isnt constantly in the news cycle,we will start to see real conversations be had again. Kobe will be back in that goat mix again.


And lets be clear,TMac aint say all this:whoa:


Gotta love Shaq as a Lakers fan,but he says stupid things sometimes lol. People will read this as him saying Steph is better than Kobe. But im assuming he only means the kind of open 3s Steph would get playing with him makes them unbeatable. Which factually is a fair assesment.


Im just glad Kobe KNEW this is the kind of convos that would be had so made it a point to do his own thing without Shaq. I was upset when i felt he broke up the dynasty. But he was a foward thinker and saw his rings would be downplayed in the future.
