Malc on a roll
ever since
Let me see...
So yeah, Kobe wasn't as good as Bron through those first 8 years. Didn't have the green light and didn't truly get off the bench until his third season.
But let's not downplay Bean's years with Shaq.
Not to mention the 56pts in 3 quarters, 40+ppg over a month, 40pt scoring streak, 35pt scoring streak, 29/7/6 '01 playoff run, 30/7/6 over '03, etc, etc.
Dude was pretty good. Over that time period, the only perimeter player that could compete with that resume was AI. Timmy, KG, and Shaq would be considered better from '97-'04.

They were average, but you stating that like it was his fault
Honestly you seem to be more obsessed with Kobe than his fans.
