Is that what happened Kobetard? He never gave up?
Or was he crying in the parking lot for a trade?
You MAGA Mambas are hilarious

You're an idiot. Ruben Patterson didnt actually shut down kobe, HE just thought he was capable.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

He joined the Rockets in 2004 when he was 25 years old.

Nah you just saw his 32 ppg and what would be ball is life highlights today and thought he just as as good as Kobe. 16 years in the league and couldnt make one All defense team?
It was awhile ago so I understand the memory being fuzzy, but TMac was the Bron of that time when it came to having a weak mentality. Compare that Kobe vid to TMac the game before he lost to the Hornets in the 02 playoffs:
Pointing to his teammates as the reason he's not successful sounds like who today?
Bad Back Mac's view on practice:
So swap an elite defensive player that practiced hard(Kobe) with a lazy defensive/practice player who made excuses when he lost and you get the same result? And that's adding him to another lazy defensive/practice player who got jealous when his teammates got shine (Shaq)? Just because you watched back then doesn't mean you understood what you were watching

Saying Mac could have gotten a ring playing with Shaq or Duncan for that matter is one thing, that's a reasonable take.
But duplicating the results you got with Kobe? fukk no. Same thing with Steph, 6 rings where nikka? Who tf is taking up the slack on defense for if you swap him out for Kobe on those championship teams?
And this is crazy because I loved watching T-mac play and before Kobe ascended, I was one of the people that would say he's right there.
If Kobe was the new MJ, T-mac was his Clyde Drexler, the next closest thing but still quite a bit of a gap.
Crazy part is Vince had a higher ceiling than both Kobe and Msc, but he did NOT have the heart & mentality

What happened was Kobe made all defense 12 times while winning 5 rings and you have stat box watchers thinking that a 0 time All defensive team player who was admittedly lazy when it came to preparation could be swapped in and achieve the same results because he averaged 32 ppg and had nice ball is life highlights
Even with Yao, he couldnt get out the first round yet they get Ron Artest, Bad back Mac gets hurt (what else was new) and Artest and Yao somehow go to the second round team with the exact same team they had as when Mac was leading them. On the court he was a loser. Perfect comparison:
This is the perfect comparison. A rich man's Jerry Stackhouse.

I don't even think that's reasonable unless we're just going by stats we see on a piece of paper. Putting 2 lazy defensive/practice players together doesn'scream automatic championship to me. Especially since Shaq got jealous when Penny got some shine, and later when Kobe got some shine...
It would be a reach to even call him Drexler since he actually led a team past the first round and all the way to the finals. Mac was more like the Mitch Richmond to Kobe's MJ

Nobody cares about Kobe’s fraudulent defensive numbers. There’s a reason you hoes bring up his defensive selections because you know his actual raw offensive numbers aren’t anything to right home about
Let’s let Teague tell you hoes the truth
Kobe has a career defensive rating of 105. Tmac had a career defensive rating of 103.8.
Tracy Mcgrady Defensive Rating Rank | StatMuse
Tracy McGrady had a defensive rating of 103.8 in his career.
Kobe Bryant Defensive Rating | StatMuse
Kobe Bryant had a defensive rating of 105.5 in his career.
Acting like Tmac was Duncan Robinson out there
Now. Address Kobe quitting on his team and crying for a trade or shut the fukk up.

6 with Steph isnt an outlandish take
