LOL nikka you talking like you speak for anyone but yourself. LOL
nikka was the most dominat player in the game when Kobe was riding his coat tails, then clearly faded went to Miami and got them over the hump as support for Wade.
Stop it kid. LOL
Kobe was Shaq's side kid, he needed Pau, Odom, Bynum, and a huge supporting cast just to get back in championship contention after he ran shaq off.
We can talk about hypothethicals all you want, Kobe was taking his team to 1 st round exits after he ran Shaq off, thats facts. He was begging to be traded until Buss got Pau, brought Phil back and got some more all-stars to surround him with.
The sidekick semantics aside, you gonna sit here and talk like Kobe was Rick Fox or something? Laker fans acknowledge that Kobe was 1b or even #2 but can you even give him THAT much credit? Or was Kobe a trash ass ball hog that was blessed by God to ride coattails twice according to you? You can’t accuse Laker fans of Kobe biases while posting pure bullshyt biases of your own.
And are we also going to ignore the fact that the Lakers had to rebuild after Shaq and Kobe still dragged those teams to the playoffs in a tougher conference. Stop playin dumb, Kobe wasn’t about to wait around like KG did in Minny while jim buss’ stupid ass played around in the front office. That’s why Dr. Buss took back control after the trade demand, that’s why they made moves and got Gasol/Ariza, that’s why Gasol has any legacy to speak of today. You don’t even know wtf happened so why speak on it?
Oh, and Phil was coaching during those first round exits so incorrect on your end to say Buss brought Phil back after Kobe’s trade demand. Just face it, you only have a vested interest in this team now because of LeBron but the a good portion of us have been fans for over 20 years. You don’t know shyt, you can’t rewrite Lakers history, you can’t define what Laker fans saw. Stop being arrogant enough to think so.
