Was Kobe Only The Best Player From 2006-2008?

[johnedwarduado]

Westbrook 16-17 stats: 31.6 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 10.4 APG, 1.6 SPG
Bron 16-17 stats: 26.4 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 8.7 APG, 1.2 SPG

Was Westbrook the best player last year or nah?

Westbrook was the best regular season player last year.

Like I said, it's called bein politically correct.

So every player and coach calling Kobe the best from 06 to 08 was being politically correct?

 

[duncanthetall]

nikka stop it. Westbrook just put up 46 10 5 in the playoffs then followed that up with 45 15 7 and damn near single handedly carrying his team to one of the greatest comebacks of all time. The reason you don't put Westbrook over Bron is because LeThotties only bring up stats when it's convenient. When nikkas bring up someone like Westbrook better numbers it's "Westbrook stats don't matter if he can't drag his team to the finals like LeGOAT" then when nikkas bring up Bron's finals losses it's "Lol rings don't matter, it's a team sport. Look at Lehelpless's stats". You nikkas disgust me

We actually have a full fledged Sabo stan y'all

 

[Jordan>>LeFrozen]

They wouldn't have blown a 3 1 lead to steve nash

Would they have gotten the 3-1 lead to blow in the first place? Considering the Cavs were 0-4 aganist the Suns in the regular season between 2006-2007 seasons
and we all know how bad the Spurs raped the Cavs in the post season so I wouldn’t even need to get on what would happended if the Cavs did beat the Suns and ran into the Spurs 2nd round.

 

[Broke Wave]

Just watch highlights of the 2009 or 2010 playoffs no announcer was referring to Bron as the best player in the NBA until his first year with Miami.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Well to be fair he had smush parker and kwame brown, then again lebron took a team to the finals in 2007 with pavlovic.

why yall act like he didn't have lamar odom & caron butler?

 

[Ben.]

KOBE WAS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE FROM 2001 UP UNTIL HIS ACHILLES TEAR IN 2013

IF YOU PUT HIM ON THE WADE-BOSH HEAT IN 2010-2014, HE MORE THAN LIKELY WOULDA WON 4 CONSECUTIVE TITLES

KOBE WAS SIMPLY NOT FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO PLAY THE MAJORITY OF HIS PRIME ON SUPERTEAMS (LEBRON) OR HAVE AN ALL-TIME GREAT SECOND FIDDLE FOR HIS ENTIRE PRIME (MJ)

Lmaooo bro gimme some of what ur smoking Bron better from 09 on

Shaq/Duncan better from 01-05

LOL DUNCAN WAS NEVER IN THE DISCUSSION, HE WAS GREAT, BUT MORE OF A SYSTEM COG THAN A GOAT - HE WON A TITLE WHEN HE WASNT EVEN AN ALL-STAR FFS

KOBE WAS BETTER THAN SHAQ BY 2001 - SHAQ EVEN DECLARED HIM THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD AT THAT POINT.. IF U WATCH THE 2001 PLAYOFFS, KOBE WAS CLEARLY BETTER, SHAQ SIMPLY HAD SENIORITY AND PLAYED FOR STATS IN THE FINALS IN A SERIES THAT WAS OVER BEFORE IT STARTED

IM ACTUALLY RE-WATCHING GAME 7
OF THE 2000 WCF AS I TYPE THIS - THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THAT ENTIRE YEAR AND KOBE WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN SHAQ IN THAT GAME - DAMN. AT 20 YEARS OLD

2001 KOBE SURPASSED HIM, HANDS DOWN

1ST TEAM ALL-NBA, 1ST TEAM ALL-DEFENSE, GO-TO-GUY ON ONE OF THE GOAT TEAMS - INCREDIBLE

man great point about 2000 WCF Game 7. Shaq had less shot attempts then glen rice

why yall act like he didn't have lamar odom & caron butler?

LO was inconsistent his whole career until PJ made him a 6th man. He was always super talented but yall wanna act like he was some surefire #2 option or something. Uhhh no. Dude was a known underachiever and finally when he became a 6th man he just thrived and it was beautiful. Also in 2005 he missed 18 games that year so he was hurt. Caron Butler was only in his 3rd season in 2005. We ended up flipping him for Kwame though which ended up getting us pau. Kobe was also best friends with Caron, he was pissed when he got traded.

TO ADD TO THAT, THAT WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL SEASON WHERE RUDY-T WAS FIRED AS HEAD COACH HALF WAY IN + KOBE MISSED A CHUNK OF THE SEASON WIT INJURY AS WELL

NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, WE WOULDA PROLLY BEAT THE SUNS IN 06 WITH CARON INSTEAD OF KWAME

We might've even fukked around and made the WCF

Completely agree. Max Kellerman was the only person in the sports talk world who referred to Lebron as the best player in the league. Hell he was the only person who felt Lebron was the MVP in the 07-08 season

EASY

CLIPPERS WOULDA BEEN OUR NEXT ROUND OPPONENT AND SUNS WERE MUCH BETTER

SHIIT, WE EVEN BEAT THE SPURS IN SAN ANTONIO THAT YEAR

Los Angeles Lakers at San Antonio Spurs Box Score, March 10, 2006 | Basketball-Reference.com

AND THAT WAS THE YEAR KOBE OUTSCORED MAVS ENTIRE ROSTER IN 3 QUARTERS .. WE TOOK THE SEASON SERIES FROM THEM 2-1 THAT YEAR

COULDA FUCCED AROUND N WON IT ALL WITH CARON, REAL TALK..IM TELLIN U, THAT TIM THOMAS 3 REALLY CHANGED THE ENTIRE COMPLEXITY OF KOBE’S LEGACY

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Kobe was def the best plyer in the league from 05-06 to 06-07. Idk about 07-08.
