You dudes aren't even good trolls.

But honestly Bill was playing in 44 game seasons. Modern era is the 82 game season.

Plus I picked cavs in 5. I'm not your enemy friend.

What?!?

The NBA had at least 72 games since 1957

Kobe a role player to shaq?


A ROLE PLAYER?


Have you not seen the numbers during the three peat?


Come on you're my boy but role player?


Second fiddle I'll accept, even acknowledge, but role player?

thats what i mean by role player. a great man once said, if you aint first...

Role player= Rick fox, horry
Kobe was the second all star on the team.

i think Kobe's most important ring was his 4th. it established that he wasnt just a role player to shaqs dominance.

kobe did it all by himself and truly showed his dominance

The problem with sports culture. He didn't do that by himself man.

obviously its a team sport. but he Led the team. where as the first three Shaq did

As an old head that watched Mike win all his rings, I don't think I can call Bron the GOAT. What I can say is that should CLE win this series, this may be the GOAT finals performance I've personally ever seen.

Mike won his first 3 rings next to Pippen, who was selected as a top 50 NBA player. MJ then went on to win 3 next to Pippen and the GOAT defensive player/rebounder in Rodman. That doesn't take away from MJ's individual performances, but he had help of a much higher caliber.

LeBron is doing this with a cast of characters who may not even start on another NBA squad. No Kyrie. No Love. It's just him out there doing the bulk of the scoring, setting up others to score and dictating the pace of the game. Like buddy is controlling the game (not just scoring) like I've never seen on this stage.

I've never seen an individual performance like this in my lifetime. Granted, there are potentially 4 more games so who knows how he finishes the series out. But if dude keeps up this incredible pace, I can't say I've ever seen someone dominate a NBA finals like him. I've clowned him plenty over the years, but when you see greatness you gotta give props.

second all star is fine. kind of like how robin was the second all start to batman

not srs

You mean there's other factors when rating players as individuals than championships that were won or lost as a team?

Gasp!!!!

 

[lamekilla]

Exactly so why wouldn't getting there mean more than getting beat on by the Pistons in the conference finals

You're proving our point my man.

You think mike wouldn't have rather at least getting a shot at a chip than going home in the east?

Use your head bruh

It's the only stage that truly matters. No one remembers division or conference championships.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Why we talking about Kobe's legacy still? It's cemented that he won without Shaq. LeBron is now tryna prove he can win without two all stars. Let that boy cook.

 

[noblekane]

Yeah man.

I saw 600+ new posts since I last checked in here and was surprised.

Usually slow around these parts when Lebby and the Cavs win.

Most of it is people going at each other over things not even about the finals

 

[mister friendly]

Geez and you aren't a hater?

da hell lol. i done told yall i used to hate on him. do u even read bro.


i respect kobe now and hes def top 3. but i am not changing my mind about who the main star was in the first three chips.

cuz i like shaq better dont mean i hate kobe b

I don't pay attention to everything you write

Looks like you are still hating on him

Role player

I guess Magic was Kareem's role player

Geez
