Juwan Howard = got the wave game on lock.
have u watched basketball much. Name me on player who could have carried theteams kobe was on into anything better than 45 wins??
You realize that in the 3 finals kobe went to recently his teams were inferior to the current HEAT team that Bron is on. In those same 3 years Lakers weren't the best team in the NBA.
BEfore you mention this Lakers team: Check their record after kobe took control of the team from D'antoni .
nikkas still on this shyt too?

2009 Lakers was the best team. Lakers got lucky that they didn't face the Nuggets and Cavs in 2010. We wouldn't have won it all if we did.nikkas still on this shyt too?

nah bruh, im trying to spit some lakers knowledge on these fools. The difference between us and some of teams we faced was Kobe. shyt that nuggets team we beat in 09 was more talented than we were.

Our top 3 players were great, but our bench sucked and we had a huge at the one.
Kobe with 3 20/10 big men isn't the best team in the league now?
Only a couple of teams had guys in Kobe's stratosphere. None of those teams had 3 big men capable of 20/10 on any given night. 
at the Nuggets. The Cavs prolly could have give them a run IF Mo and Tawn had played their best and Hickson actually played let alone played at a high level but as we saw in the C's series that wasn't an option. Only team fukking with the Lakers during that time would have been a healthy C's squad. Point is nikkas not to stop trying to downplay that squad. They didn't go to 3 straight Finals and win 2 by accident or by Kobe's sheer will.Kobe with 3 20/10 big men isn't the best team in the league now?
you forget Bynum was injured?? and could barely contribute?? especially in 09 when he was playing with a torn meniscus??Nuggets team with Melo, martin, Nene, Billups, Andersen, JR Smith

3 big men capable of 20/10? Bynum was never healthy come playoff time. The best you could expect from him was 10 and 10 and he couldn't even do that.Kobe with 3 20/10 big men isn't the best team in the league now?
We were a great team, but I don't think we were so much better than the rest of the league in either year. Nuggets, Celtics and Cavaliers were fully capable of beating us. Even the Mavericks had a shot against us. We only beat them in regular season when Kobe dominated in the 4th quarters.

The fact that you could lose Bynum and just plug another 6'10 nikka in that could give you 15-20 pts and 10-15 reb each night still make the Finals and have a fraction of him and win back to back titles says a lot about what your team is working with.
Kobe> Melo
Gasol, Odom, fraction of Bynum > Kenyon, Birdman, and Nene
Kobe=Bron (debatable and not worth the back and forth so we'll just leave it at this)
Gasol, Odom, fraction of Bynum > Jamison,
Shaq, Varajeo Yeah plenty of teams had the edge at PG but when was that advantage ever greater than the advantage Kobe had over the other teams best player and the advantage that frontline had over other teams frontlines?
Celtics were the only team really fukking with them at the time.

No Fisher was garbage.
He had one good series the entire run. The Finals vs the Celtics in 2010.
He couldn't defend or pass, his shot selection was trash and he couldn't shoot. Fisher was trash.
