Kobe won a ring with a broken finger and torn rotator cuff. Harden? Curry? Lmao

Kobe was mentally tough!! No one can deny that about Kobe.. He played thru pain and gave it his all on the court during his entire Laker career..

He's still kind of dickkk though when you meet him. I remember that. He was cool as a youngster fresh out high school, but when on top of his game he was a jerk that straggled chicks. No one really liked him either on any of the Laker teams, especially Shaq.. Kobe big headed but a winner..

Great player. Just like Jordan and Bird.. Tough minded..

When Gasol was with the Lakers, Spain were world Champions. Lakers had him at his prime.

He still wasn’t anywhere close to dominating the nba, Shaq was dominate. That was without question kobe’s team.

The Bulls won 57 games without Jordan and were a bad call on Pippen from beating a Knick team that went to the finals, Jordan had many underrated teamates that still get no credit. Pippen was elite defensively, Kukoc, Cartwright's strong defense, Grant, Rodman, BJ Armstrongl

It def crazy to say “Jordan didn’t have help”, those were really strong teams, yes he what made them great but not by himself. I think it fair to say pippen was better because of practicing w Jordan but he was great.

Before they got Gasol the Lakers could not even make the playoffs, Harden could make the playoffs with college players.

2008–09†	L.A. Lakers	81	81	37.0	.567	.500	.781	9.6	3.5	.6	1.0	18.9
2009–10†	L.A. Lakers	65	65	37.0	.536	.000	.790	11.3	3.4	.6	1.7	18.3

19 points per game, 57% FG percentage 12 rebounds per game is not good? The guy averaged a double double for 82 games and this is not good enough? I hope you are joking.

But did he win? He only won with Wade, Bosh and Allen carrying the team.

He beat the warriors with only Kyrie. That's pretty good.

I hope you are joking. I didn’t say he wasn’t good, but to imply he carried those 2 championships is crazy, those were kobe teams. Gasol was a all-star, not a dominate superstar.

Please tell me you not saying gasol is better than pippen. If that what you saying we really don’t have anything else to talk bout.

He carried bunch of nobodies in Cleveland who couldn’t win 30 games without him to multiple finals. You have some “interesting” ideas bout things.

Gasol has better stats. Can you post some facts to back up your claims?

**rm18** · 05-01-19, 08:53 PM

Pippen was a little better, there were some times Gasol would be benched at crunch time for Odom+ Bynum. BUt both those guys were studs too Lakers were stacked Kobe could not carry a team ever.
