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.

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

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.

Kobe is one of the greatest to ever do it....issue is how people rank him.

Does he go above Kareem, MJ, Bron etc? No.

Magic? Iffy

Bird (before the back injury)? Iffy

He's on that tier with Steph, Olajuwon etc. There's nothing wrong with that. People keep trying to act like he's Top 3 or Top 5, but he's just not.

He's not on Mt. Rushmore because he's not even the best Laker. Probably 3rd at best for his own franchise, and maybe lower if we throw in Jerry West. Stylistically he was one of my favorite players to watch. Dude was a student of the game that maxed out his ability. If Shaq had half of Kobe's drive, Shaq would be considered the GOAT.

TMac had prime Yao and couldn't make the Finals.

Dude said 3rd at best lol. Try hard shyt for real

 

[Peruvian Connect]

Kobe 2 without Shaq. Shaq 0 without Kobe. Dude was a non factor in that Miami win. Replaced him with Nik Tskitisvilli and no one would have noticed.

Honestly my whole take away from this past month's conversations about Kobe is that this is bigger than him and more of a highlight about why basketball is just a p*ssy sport

Shaq is the prime example of this. A smart teammate would see other dudes talking about a 7 year grind him and Kobe put in to win championships and tell them to shut the fukk up with their hypotheticals, they didn't win shyt.

Instead, this dude comes in here talkin bout "Hmm I agree "

Basketball is just a weak nikka sport, sport is built on hypotheticals and suckage of the star player. nikkas really been debating if your ring counts if you win it as a second option, what other sport has this kind of dialogue? Please tell me

Mind you, these tough guy basketball players are all saying this while the nikka is dead. He aint been dead for more than 5 years, he was retired for 4 and we didn't hear none of this shyt. Basketball is just full of cowards

People mad as hell in this thread.
My goodness.



It’s just sports.

This thread cooking

Tmac had a 25 ppg yao, more than pau ever avg. Still couldn't get out the first.

When your bench combines for 12 PPG in a playoff series you're probably gonna lose that series...

All of a sudden a HOF player shouldn't be listened to

 

[staticshock]

But also saying this is in bad taste because he DID win with Kobe and Kobe is no longer here.

Distasteful

You acting like he attacked the man’s personality or lifestyle it’s a fukkin basketball opinion got damn

Why doesn't he? See the problem is yall like to act like your personal opinions are facts

 

[bl2k8]

Shaq got Kobe ranked number 2 on his all time list do we care about his opinion on him then.
