puhhhhlease. Kobe was makin headlines before Shaq even thought of coming to LA. Doesnt matter if he is the main attraction or not. Look at the stuff Kobe does. He would school AI

 

Kobe has 3 Championship rings.

AI has none.

Enough said..

 

When Shaq was out, was Kobe as dominate? Nope. Was his team doing as good? Nope. Kobe was making headlines before Shaq thought of coming to LA, you are very correct, BUT HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL. He wasn't doing shit in the NBA before Shaq got there.


Kobe has Shaq, AI has had Derrick Coleman and Todd MacCollough, nuff said.

 

People were calling Kobe the next MJ before Shaq got to LA. They only brought Shaq to compliment Kobe. Shaq really doesnt have anything to do with what Kobe does. Kobe dunks and shoots. Shaq gets rebounds and dunks on people. They do different things that compliment the team

 

if there was no shaq, there would be no championship for kobe and the lakers

 

that really cant be proven. I'm not saying Kobe is alone on that team. Nobody can win with only one guy doing the work. But I think Kobe equals if not outshines Iverson

 

Uh, dood, it's Shaq's team, no question about it. As Shaq goes, so goes the team. Without Shaq, they are just an average team. Without Kobe, they still have the most dominant big man in the league and they still have the athlete's who can feed him the ball.
And we all know, no matter how many bodies you throw at Shaq, he's gonna get his.

:werd: Samaki Walker sure as hell aint gonna hold down the middle


Come on bro, when Shaq goes out, the Lakers struggle big time, when Kobe was gone, they didn't miss a beat. It's been proven time and time again. But true, no one man can do it by himself, there's got to be 4 other dudes on the court w/him. I will give Kobe his props, he is a very talented player and if I was putting together a team, he'd be the 3rd player I chose, right after Iverson and Shaq.

On a side note, Iverson scored 29 tonight to lead the Sixers to another victory over the Hornets, they now lead the series 2-0
:thumbup:

 

I hate basketball....but watching MJ play is fun. He does some unreal stuff out there.

 

I don't understand how you could hate basketball, but to each his own. It just happens to be my favorite sport so im partial But yeah, classic Mike was definitely art in motion.

 

it's pretty boring. It's just the same thing over and over, run, shoot, pass, run, shoot, pass, run, shoot...I bet if you made a 5 minute loop and played it over and over, a lot of people wouldn't notice a difference.



and the cool stuff I saw Mike do was recent, after his last comeback...I can only imagine how great he was in his prime.
