That's only because he played alongside the most dominant player in NBA history during that stretch. 2000-02 Shaq was arguably more dominant than 91-93 Jordan. Jordan just had more longevity but peak Shaq probably the best player in NBA history. And lets not pretend like Kobe wasn't averaging 29 PPG, 7 RPG, 6 APG in the playoffs alongside Shaq who was averaging 30 PPG and 15 RPG. Kobe had multiple 40 point games in the playoffs during that run against teams like San Antonio and Sacremento (the 2 toughest teams the Lakers faced).
The Kobe and Shaq pairing of the early 2000s was some unprecedented shyt. Never before in the league's history were the 2 best players in the league playing on the same team. That was the case in 2001 and 2002. Only year you could argue Kobe was a normal sidekick was 99-00 when he was 21 years old. And even then he put up 23/5/5.
Kobe validated his greatness when he won 2 more rings at 30 and 31 with Pau Gasol as his 2nd option. A guy who was less regarded than Chris Bosh before joining Kobe. And remember Chris Bosh was LeBron's 3rd option. So that means Kobe did the same thing LeBron did at Miami at an older age with a lesser supporting cast.
Warriors last 2 years were a gimmick team like the Nash Suns. They got lucky in 2015 cause everybody got injured. And last year they should have been beat by OKC but got lucky. And then they were rightly exposed by LeBron and Kyrie. They won 70 games in the same fashion those Suns teams won 60 games. It was a gimmick and nobody really cares in the regular season. The fact OKC had them down 3-1 proves they were overrated. And then the fact Kyrie and LeBron single-handedly beat them in games 5,6,and 7 show that as well.
Durant joining the Warriors is like LeBron joining the 2006 Suns. Sure he makes them a lot better. But they ain't unbeatable. It would be one superstar (LeBron) with a good supporting cast.
and clearly Love>Draymond+Klay
No. Draymond is much better than Love. And Klay is the dude that makes this matchup even.
LeBron > KD
Kyrie >>> Curry
Love <<< Draymond
whoever <<< Klay
bench = even
Last year the Cavs had the 2 best players in the series while the warriors had the next 6-7. Kyrie and LeBron proved that they were better than the next 6 or 7 warriors players. This year the Cavs only have 2 of the top 3 players. The Warriors don't have quite as much depth which is why the series is still a toss-up but the slight edge goes to the Warriors.
IT WILL ALWAYS BE JORDAN FOLLOWED BY KAREEM FOR ME....EVERYBODY ELSE RANK THEM HOW U PLEASE
No. He's Steve Nash 2.0.
Only difference is Nash didn't get lucky in 2005-06 with the rest of the league's superstars getting injured. Only reason the 2015 Warriors won the chip is because every other team was decimated with injuries. 2016 Finals exposed them as frauds as LeBron and Kyrie single-handedly beat them. And a series earlier KD and Russ had them down 3-1 before they collapsed.
And lets not forget Curry was horrible in both finals.
The dude is a complete media creation. In reality he ain't nothing more than a new age Steve Nash.
Looking like it.THEY fukkED UP...
THE ORIGINAL 50 DIDNT ACTUALLY RANK THE PLAYERS.
CLICK BAIT
Plus its getting folks talking. Someone on my fb just shared and tons of comments arguing about placement of players excluding Jordan(cannot deny the GOAT)
To be honest, Curry shouldn't be ranked on any all-time list. Wait until his prime is over (at the very least), then we can start having discussions on where he ranks.
