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.

[ALonelyDad]

Tmac is a great player but its hard to believe he would have done what Kobe did in some of the West series especially in some individual games. I cant imagine him having those games vs Blazers, Kings, etc. Those other guards also weren't elite defenders like Kobe was. These arguments only focus on one round but not the first 3

I really hope one day you guys can explain this weirdo logic where yall think critique or disagreement equals hate.

I truly do not understand this.

I loved watching Kobe play, but they acting like this dude is only behind Jordan all time.

Not one person would start a team with Kobe over MJ, Bron, Hakeem or Kareem. We not even bringing up Wilt or Russell, Bird or Magic.

They getting lost in his style and how fun he was to watch. He had the MJ aura with a more refined skillset. Not as physically gifted but a bit "smoother" and more graceful. Honestly think him playing like Jordan is why so many hype him...and Bron having such a different style and playing like a freight train is part of why he gets hate.

It's ok to disagree. But putting Vince in the same sentence as Kobe is embarrassing. T-Mac had the skillset but we have nothing to look at in terms of playoff performance.

I'm not even criticizing the guy.
He was great, and arguably the most beloved NBA player since the turn of the century OTHER than Allen Iverson. Which is why it makes no sense to me where all these accusations that people hate him come from.

Like, what planet are you people living on?

"With Kobe playing with an underwhelming supporting cast, the team never won more than 45 games in a season and failed to make it out of the first round of the playoffs. While Kobe was putting up the best numbers of his career, many wondered if he had what it took to lead a team to a championship."

Not only did Shaq leaving allow Kobe to win meaningful hardware, but it allowed him to become his own man, so to speak. After Shaq left, the Lakers were Kobe’s team and while there were some aforementioned lean seasons, Kobe proved he ultimately had what it took to lead the Lakers to multiple championships.

How many brain cells has your cocaine addition destroyed over the years, that you cannot grasp the difference between critique and hate?

 

[smitty22]

Just never ends with this guy.

Just like your shift cleaning the shytters. Just never ends

 

[FlyRy]

Yup, the Spurs beat the Lakers once in the 2000s

The Lakers beat the spurs 4x in the 2000s

Are we forgetting that Admiral, Tony parker & Manu are all HOFers?

How does a man have Admiral, Tony Parker & Manu yet go 8-18 vs Kob & the Lakers in the 2000s

 

[I AM WARHOL]

I respect Kobe because when he got the "Can't do it without Shaq" label, guess what he did? Went out and did it without Shaq. 2 times. Damn near threepeated.

That's why this shyt pisses me off. No one else in this era or the last had the competitive spirit to go out and actually prove mfers wrong. Then nikkas try to lie and put Pau in convos he has no business being in to act like Pau was another Shaq . shyt is beyond disingenuous. No disrespect to Pau. He was integral and Kobe needed him because no one can win alone, but to ask like he was some unstoppable force is hilarious.

Players run to team up in the era. Kobe split up to prove himself. And somehow still gets put in this type of convo. It's crazy.

 

[Controversy]

Kob won the most chips in the decade

Scored the most pts in the decade

Was named all nba every yr of the decade

And he wasn't the best player of the decade yet he went 4-1 against Timmy in the playoffs in said decade

he used to have Timmy looking helpless, dunking on him, crossing him, and taking his weak azz heart

Stupid mfkaz man lol

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Kobe winning with Pau after Shaq is like if Kyrie won with Siakam after Lebron and nikkas saying "well he had Siakam"
