"@ChuckShots So Shaq just wasn't that good I mean if he was better than a player who averaged 30/7/6 while being the best perimeter defender in the league he should've won more than XX games no"

""What" is a sign of struggling to understand but ok. And then your proceed to not even answer the question. Let's start there. You said Shaq was the best player on the team. That means it's HIS team. If he had a teammate averaging 30/7/6 and garnering the third most MVP votes in the league that year how does he win XX less games than the Spurs with only Tim Duncan Either Shaq wasn't as good as you believe or the Spurs were better than you're trying to portray. Which one is it"

"@Mo3Muse @RedRum7375 @1804gerson @thadbutts06 I'm not saying LET him score. Ron is still playing defense. I'm just saying to sag a little and try and keep him from driving or passing. Make him shoot jump shots as much as you can and try and keep Wade out of rhythm"

"Just a reminder:A 22-year-old Kobe in the 2001 Playoffs: XXXX ppg XXX rpg XXX apg XXX spg The Lakers went 15-1 on their way to their second of three straight championships. They swept the 50-win Blazers (Kobe 25/4/8) the 55-win Kings (Kobe 35/9/4) and the 58-win Spurs (Kobe 33/7/7) before defeating the 56-win 76ers (Kobe 25/8/6) 4-1 in the finals. Coach Paul Westphal after the Lakers won: "Who is to say Kobe Bryant isnt going to be better than Michael Jordan Lets get that out on the table right now. Hes a lot better than Jordan was at the same age"

"It should be common knowledge by now that John Calipari wanted to draft Kobe Bryant with the 8th pick. If not Warner Bros. is supposedly releasing a film titled "With the 8th Pick" covering the topic. Given it was a real possibility at the time how would Kobe's career have turned out had he been selected by the Nets instead. Some people like to give Shaq all the credit for those first X rings even going as far as saying Kobe would've been ringless without the big fella. But would he have been It's hard to think of a scenario where this team doesn't win at least one ring. No Kobe in LA likely"

"For those of you who are new to basketball this entire conversation started around the mid 2010's with ESPN and more specifically Nick Wright. This was not a conversation in the 2000's and the easiest way to understand that is the COMPLETE LACK OF ANY EVIDENCE that it was in my comments. Believe me if it were people would be quick to try and prove me wrong. So don't let them gaslight you. Kobe was the better player back then and he will always be"

"@FGawd0517 First your reading comprehension is extremely poor. When was the 2000's Start there dipshit. Second if ANYONE was calling Duncan the best player on the planet IN THE 2000'S feel free to provide receipts"

"@Reasonable68 Wow you found the single only shred of evidence that anyone thought Duncan was the better player. An obscure article by the same publication that literally named Kobe Bryant the player of the decade. Congratulations 👏"

"You posted two articles about trade value by Bill Simmons and one article from some obscure journalist by the same publication saying Kobe was the best player several years the player of the decade and at least one article saying Kobe Bryant is the greatest of all time. So no there weren't "plenty of people" who thought that way"

"@CommanderHail21 You would lean towards a power forward that shoots the same percentage from the field as a shooting guard while turning the ball over more You might just be the Michael Jordan of GM's"

"Yes I claim Kobe was the best player but the offense was still Shaq first. Do you not remember Phil told Kobe to chill during his XX point streak because Shaq was losing his fire And yes the XX team was worse. They talked all year about the Lakers needing to make roster improvements. I'm assuming you weren't actually watching at the time"
