    kobe would be the undisputed g.o.a.t. if shaq hadnt held him back

    after shaq left...

    35.4ppg (highest scoring season in 2 decades)
    31.6ppg the very next season
    reg season mvp (screwed out of 2 more)
    3 consecutive finals with avg cast
    2 finals mvp

    he would be breaking kareems record last night if not for snaq oreo meal holding him back for 8 seasons.

    yep. Guy wouldnt have any more rings if the lakers didn't snag pau. LOL at bragging about scoring 35 and getting destroyed in the first round.

    Let's remember crusty thinks Palmer is an elite quarterback, he thinks more interceptions then touchdowns is a good thing

    Shaq during his laker days was the most dominant big man of all time. It's not even close. They probably needed each other sure but there's no debate Shaq was the best player on that team

    Lakers would have not won those years without Shaq, that's when Kobe's stock really took off.

    Also, we should probably all have some perspective when Shaq says Kobe is the greatest laker of all time.

    Would you believe anything else Shaq says?

    William your a lifelong laker fan right? Wouldn't you take magic or Kareem instead?

    Like I said I'm a Kobe fan and he's no doubt top 10 all time, but people are getting carried away.

    I really have no answer for that question. Magic is my all-time favorite Lakers player. Guy was a one of a kind PG at 6'8" and truly "magic" on the court. But, one could argue that Kareem is the greatest player to have ever played the game. Obviously, he was never going to be a highlight reel because that wasn't his game. But, being an incredible player before there were media outlets such as ESPN (Jordan era) and sustaining his greatness over TWENTY years is UNREAL! Kareem played 20 seasons and not only averaged 25 points & 11 rebounds OVER TWENTY YEARS, but only twice over twenty seasons did he miss more than 8 games.....which....at 7'2" was/is unheard of (you could count on "Cap" to be there.....game after game......year after year).

    I dont recall anybody holding Kobe back, if anything he held others back because of his ball hogging and selfish style of play.

    Kobe never made any player better on the floor thats for sure, I cant think of any top 10 player that can be said about, which is why Kobe shouldnt be on any top ten lists, this is a team game we're talking about.

    Get a clue!

    Did you even watch the game last night? Gasol & Bynum were getting dunks, layups, open five footers....and guys were getting wide open 3's!!!!! Why???? Uh.........because the 76ers were FORCED to double...and at times...send a third player......at Kobe. THAT alone makes players around him better. If people understood the game of basketball comments like these just wouldn't be made.

    Don't hurt them with the truth. It Kobe was double and triple teamed then the lakers shud have won easily and Kobe shud have at least 10 assists. But they lost and he took 50 shots.

    look at kwame brown after he left LA, being traded to numerous clubs and didn't make any significant impact at all, how about smush parker don't even know where this guy is playing, lamar odumbass is he contributing much in dallas now? look at pau gasol before he was traded to the lakers and after he traded to the lakers guy couldn't even win a single playoff game with a much better lineup he had in memphis but became instantly better once he plays with kobe

    hes a shooting guard. he takes shots. he just doesn't take them like he used to lol. Actually its because of guys like him, iverson, t-mac, and all those other early 00's ball hogs that i stopped watching the nba for a while... theres nothing like some well coordinated ball movement IMO

    Thats sounds silly, so Kobe made Kwame and Smush better? Thats retarded. But hey I know Kobe has his loyalists and he can do no wrong in those people's eyes so there is no use debating.

    oh he made them worse then? if he didn't make them any better what can you say about kwame and smush right now? one is bouncing around teams and the other one is out of the league ever since he left the lakers, any NBA fan would have known that those 2 are shit players
