Was Kobe Only The Best Player From 2006-2008?

[Broke Wave]

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

Paul Pierce huh

 

[The_Third_Man]

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

actually he didn't have Smush that year. He had Lamar Odom and Caron Butler.

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

Portland Trail Blazers at Los Angeles Lakers Box Score, June 4, 2000 | Basketball-Reference.com

2001 KOBE SURPASSED HIM, HANDS DOWN

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

Shaq was the go-to and #1 option on that Lakers teams despite your mental gymnastics nah

Pop wasn't shyt early on, Duncan WAS the system. Sad that '03 Lakers team lost to Duncan and Bums in the first place.

Shaq had 00-02 no doubt check how the Lakers were still great without Kobe throughout those years but without Shaq they weren't as good.

Shaq was just straight up more impactful and more dominant than Kobe by a mile

SO U CLAIM SHAQ WAS THE NUMBER 1 OPTION DESPITE THE FACT THAT

1.KOBE HAD A HIGHER USAGE RATE

AND

2.KOBE AVERAGED MORE ATTEMPTS PER GAME

LOL HOW?????

2001 NBA Western Conference Finals - Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs | Basketball-Reference.com

2001 NBA Western Conference Semifinals - Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Lakers | Basketball-Reference.com


THESE ARE THE 2 SERIES’ THAT MATTERED THAT YEAR - LOOK AT KOBE’S RANKING .. #1 IN BOTH

2003 WAS A HANGOVER YEAR - 4 STRAIGHT WOULDA BEEN NICE THO. DUNCAN WAS GREAT, NO DOUBT - BUT HE COULDA BEEN REPLACED BY KG OR DIRK. POPS THE REAL MVP OF THAT TEAM.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Paul Pierce huh

I thought Paul Pierce was the best small forward in the league in 05-06 easily. Even over LeBron. I'd take te 05-06 version of Paul Pierce over most SFs ever. His game was too complete that year.. could score or
Anybody, with ease. Too bad he never had a team around him during his prime years.

Shaq was more impressive in that Kings series and against the '01 spurs he was being defended by DRob and Duncan while Kobe went up against fukkin Antonio Daniels and old ass Terry Porter. Notice how as Kobe shot attempts went more up as Shaq declined the Lakers started losing

 

[Born2BKing]

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

Duncan and bums? David Robinson, TP, Bruce, Manu, Stephen Jackson dont exist no more?

and Pop "wasnt shyt early on" because David Robinson played 6 games in his first year as coach


yo, do y'all nikkas even follow this NBA shyt on a basic level

One legged 37 y/o David Robinson? Sophomore TP that shot 40% with 14ppg? S-Jax who averaged 13 on 41%?

Ask ya self if you follow this shyt on a basic level, man tied with Hakeem for worst supporting cast to a chip in 2003

 

[BigTyme Records]

Those 00-04 ish spurs weren't great teams. Don't know why Kobe fans brag about beating Duncan and old ass Robinson + defensive role players



2005 and on is when Manu got much better and the spurs were the actual spurs

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Wade was the best player in the league 06-07 and 08-09 yet he has no MVPs

It's funny people on here say that Kobe has a better record against TD like Shaq wasn't leading the team and the Lakers weren't heavy favorites. I will say Kobe in '08 absolutely destroyed them and didn't have the team advantage.

The spurs were #1 in defense and 6th in offense, along with being the #1 seed and making it to the WCF in 2001. Spurs were also #2 in defense, 9th in offense and 2nd seed in 2002.
They won the title in 2003. Their worse team out of those years you mentioned when duncan was active was 2004

Don’t know what you talking about brehs. Try to downplay Kobe’s achievements that you know you can’t dispute brehs.

This is like saying Kyrie doesn’t deserve credit for going off on teams because he had Lebron. Point is Kobe went out and played his lights out. The lakers aren’t that dominate without Kobe as a second option. We seen Shaq get beat before when he first came to the lakers and didn’t have a superstars second option like Penny/Kobe/Wade
