Kobe sent the Celtics a message Christmas 2008 after losing in the Finals. Bron isn't a true leader
- Thread starter CantStop
- Start date
He got away with what made him successful which was being an energy guy + defender. He became a black hole and his offense wasn't good enough for the role he was playing. Signed with the Suns and was horrible offensively, got benched and got traded + cut and just became a 10 day guy and now he's out of the league. Damn shame cause he's good enough to play in the league but he kicked himself out with his play. No reason why he couldn't be a Dudley type of player.

Celtics went 7 with the Hawks in 2008
What is your point?
Yeah they did, if game 7 was in Atlanta they would have been phucked

Kobe can relate to playing with a couple in his time
kobe played with 1 top 10 player early in his career. and a top 20 later on the backend of his prime...Kobe can relate to playing with a couple in his time
Lebron played with two top 10 players at the same time, while he was at his physical best and barely won two

Better to win barely two with 2 other guys than none with other 3 Hall of Famers/ 3 Elite All Stars ....twice

Yea because Payton and Malone were all stars at that time.
You count them as all stars, I'm gonna count Juwan Howard and Ray Allen as all stars too.
. According to your logic, Lebron played with 4 other all stars.

While you're at it, count 2012 Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash and what the heck, throw in Metta too

Forgot to count Big Z, Stackhouse and Jamal Magloire as an all star in 2011. So Lebron played with 7 all stars in 2011 and still lost according to your logic.

Yeah I figured you' gloss over that 2012-2013 Laker season when its brought up.
You know the one they tried to copy the Heat blueprint

Kobe didn't even play in the playoffs because of his torn achilles so that season is irrelevant.

And he got them back in the rematch in the 2010 finals on some ali vs frazier shyt
You mean pau and arrest won the series.
When pau got off because the undertaker got injured and oah was scared shytless of that dude.
Once he was gone pau and arrest beasted and Kobe was just there.

Critical game 3 win: Kobe had 29 pts, Pau had 13 and Artest had 2 pts.
Game 4 loss: Kobe had 33 pts, Pau had 21 and Artest had 9
Game 5 loss: Kobe had 38 pts, Pau had 12(on 12 shots) and Artest had 7
Game 6 win: Kobe had 26 pts, Pau had 17, Artest had 15
Game 7 win: Kobe had 23/15(on 6-24 shooting), Artest had 23 and Pau had 19/18
So Kobe showed up in every game of the series(even his worst game he did big things) and Pau was ghostface status for every road game and Artest was damn near pathetic for more than half the series but somehow those 2 won the series for us right?
This myth has to stop. If Artest showed up for the series other than game 7, we wouldn't even need a game 7.
