Yes because he didn’t drag that garbage ass team to the playoffs and had the best +/- and net rating of any PF during those years and didn’t average the best analytics those specific years

And if playing no defense or very little means something then WTF is James Harden and Russel Westbrook?
Just for this, I’m gonna be enjoying the knicks 23 win season all year. Ain’t even post in y’all thread recent, that’s changing soon though.


Ignore facts and analytics you use to dikk ride anybody else cause they don’t fit your narrative brehs

What the fukk does James Harden and Russell Westbrook have to do with what was happening in the NBA in 2009 and 2010?

Also, Bosh is a big man my guy, defense is more important the biggest reason the Raptors were missing the playoffs was lack of a defensive anchor, those teams could score.

Harden not playing defense is a super dated point at that. He was a league leader in steals, a league leader in deflections, a top defensive rebounder at his position, one of the best shot blockers at his position, and in the 90%+ percentile in post defenders in a switch happy Rockets defense.

No, he didn't drag the Raptors to the playoffs in 2010, they weren't even .500 and yeah he put up numbers in a contract year on a bad team it leads to a high net rating.

Like I said he didn't defend and played on a trash squad stop it.

1. Kobe
2. Bron

10. KG
11. Derrick Rose
12. Cp3
13. DWill
14. Amare
15. Chris Bosh

(players are in no particular order)

Which of these players was Pau better than in 09 and 10?

I'm taking Pau over KG(post injury), Rose, Bosh, Amare and Deron Williams.

You emphasizing defense as a way to discredit being the best PF, as if two(really 3) recent MVPs not named Giannas are medicore to bad defenders also Lebron hasn’t been known for his defense lately either. Does that negate him from being the best player in the league?hes a inch or 2 shorter than Boshyou nitpicking small shyt. Harden just recently begin to improve on defense, for years he wasn’t a good defender and didn’t stop him from remaining the best at his position so nikka stop. Btw the raptors went to the playoffs in 07/08. Nobody said anything about 2010every star player who plays on a bad team puts up numbers they wouldn’t on a good team btw. Kobe averaged 35 on those shyt laker teams and never Averaged close to that again when the Lakers got good. Don’t get me started on those shytty Cavs teams Lebron was on

 

[Black Haven]

I remember when the servers on old sohh shut down when the Lakers got Pau.

But because heads want to add to the legend of Kobe and re-write history, they make Pau a (fill in the blank with something less than great)_______ talent.

See through and boring

I remember people wanting the grizzlies relocated because of that trade.

 

[Supreme365]

he played in 2 playoff series he should've never been in the first place. he also won games in those series unlike Pau Who else was taking Smush and Kwame to the playoffs?

Who else was winning a series with Shane battier as your second option

And don’t act like Kobe didn’t have Caron Butler and Lamar Odom who were better than anyone gasol played with in Memphis

Don’t knock pau for not leading the grizz’s to a win and then excuse Kobe for not leading the lakers to a series win not to mention blowing a 3-1 lead against a suns team without amare

 

[Chris Cool]

I'll never understand the hate pau gets from Lakers fans on here.


pau > bosh

nikkas was calling pau was the best big man in the game and shyt. Kobe my nikka too, but the bullshyt has to stop.

That being said, the whole finals mvp shyt is exactly that though, shyt. Only time pau played like an mvp was start of 2010 season.


can't wait til #16 goes in the rafters.

 

[ISO]

Exactly. These guys dont wanna admit Kobe probably 3peats with Bosh or Amare....especially Bosh.

Lol

This is how I know you a nikka that only looks at points per game and aesthetics

 

[Killer Instinct]

He was a skilled 7 footer that could do anything on the floor. He was def a top 15 player. You nikkas dont watch games and only go by numbers. Lakers werent title contenders before they got Pau.

What the hell are you even talking about? Y'all just be typing just to have something to do. The Lakers were #1 seed out west BEFORE they got Pau.

 

[Stop_It_5]

The hate LA fans have for Pau is some of the dumbest shyt I've ever seen on here


Team would've wasted the last stretch of Kobes prime if that trade never went down.

 

[cleanface coney]

Pau is my guy didnt end well dude was playin garbage but he's a hofer and a laker legend fukk what u heard

 

[NYC Rebel]

it shut down because Lakers finally got an all star to pair with Kobe after playing with scrubs for 3 seasons

what is this post suppose to prove anyways? that because the sever shut down for an all star player, that means he was a top 15 player?

Because there was a certainty that the Lakers would go the Finals (which they did) as a result of ghat trade, not this he finally got an all star to pair with Kobe gentle shyt youre trying to post. There was outright anger and jealousy because everyone knew the Lakers got an elite big man to take em over the top. Laker fans were talking so much shyt. We ALL KNEW it meant championship.

fukk outta here with this “the servers shut down because It was an all star got to pair with Kobe celebration!!” bullshyt.
