    You will see what Bryant will do with a shit Lakers team

    The Lakers are a shit team roster wise and its obvious they are not even a top 5 team roster wise in the western conference. Everyone that said Kobe is no longer an elite player shall eat their words this year as Kobe looks like a boss even with an injured hand. He's unstoppable and Lakers are a threat only because of him. Shaq would never win rings without a top 3 player in the world on his team.

    Gasol is no where near top 20

    Gasol is top 15 easy. Shaq carried kobe to his first 3, not sure how you can deny this

    Lakers are a threat because of pau and bynum, you saw how terrible they were without bynum and gasol, remember? I belive mr bryant demanded a trade and blamed everybody.

    He's not the same player with explosiveness and all I guess its expected at this age, but sure he can get 25 a night, he's a scorer and a veteran, crafty and knows how to create space still to get his shot off. Lakers still have pieces and they still do run some triangle, when Bynum gets back they will be tougher and probably will give anyone a hard time at Staples.

    A shit roster is what dwight howard is dealing with in Orland. A shit roster is what LeBron had in Cleveland. A shit roster is what Allen Iverson had for years in Phili. Kobe is not dealing with a shit roster. Gasol and Bynum are arguably the best power forward and center duo in the NBA. The Lakers have definite weaknesses (lack of depth, weak pg play), but they are far from a "shit" roster.

    The comments on this thread are funny. 90% of SBR said Kobe was done and couldn't do shit with a shit roster, now pretty much everyone has changed their mind and said he has a good roster. Not talkin about you goat.

    where did this belief that the lakers have a shit roster come from? Pau and Bynum are the best 4 and 5 combo in basketball. No one is close.

    The lakers are elite because of pau and Bynum, not because of Kobe. Kobe had a shit roster without pau and guess what the lakers did? Absolutely nothing. Got destroyed by the suns two years in a row.

    I wouldn't call it a "sh#t" roster but it's certainly not as good as it was last season so if we see Kobe take this team deep in the playoffs w/ and even get close to winning it all that's gonna say quite a bit about Kobe

    Yeah of course Bynum and Gasol are good but are you guys trying to suggest Artest is a good player? He's one of the worst players in the NBA, and that's not an exaggeration by any stretch. Lakers bench is absolutely terrible. One of the worst benches in the league. What I meant by shit roster is that they are not even top 5 in the west conference roster wise.

    Kobe is straight butter. Best player in nba history, only jordan is arguably better. no one else. shaq not even close all-tme.

    Thunder
    Blazers
    Nuggets
    Clippers
    Spurs (with Manu healthy)

    There's no doubt these teams have better rosters. Easy arguments can be made for the Mavs and Grizzlies as well

    Rosters sure when it comes to depth. When Playoffs come the benches shorten. Not one of those teams is filling with the Lakets big 3 tho, that's damn sure. Lakers have arguably the best 2 4 & 5 man in the west..

    Did you really just say Jordan is only arguably better? Kobe is not even close to Jordan. Wtf are you talking about? Kobe is a top 4 all time but don't get carried away.
