to be honest i still have kobe as the third best laker.

i have Kareem at number 1 (kobe is never passing him in accolades rings, or accomplishments)
6-time NBA champion vs Kobe's lil 5
6-time NBA Most Valuable Player vs kobe's lil 1
2-time scoring champion tied with Kobe
19-time NBA All-Star vs kobes lil 16
2-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player tied with Kobe

  • 15-time All-NBA selection: tied with kobe
    NBA Rookie of the Year (Kobe couldn't get this?:heh: mike miller got one of these:mjlol:
    Three-time NCAA champion (Kobe chose to ride the bench instead)
all time leading scorer (Kobe all time leading misser :mjlol:)
Magic at number 2 (he got five rings too but 3 finals mvps, picture magic losing out to shaq :mjlol:)

Then Kobe at number 3
It wouldn't be a reach to have Shaq over Tobe :manny:

With all that shooting, I'm surprise it took Tobe this long:mjpls:

He just made it to 3rd all-time in shots attempted....it's only right he is gonna be 3rd all-time in points scored.

No troll.
Name one thing Tobe did as a Laker that Shaq didn't do in a shorter span? Being 4th on this list would be number one on most list anyway.
Prime shaq >>>> prime kobe I agree.
But shaq was flabby for too much of his career so I give kobe a slight edge.

Prime mj >>>>> prime shaq tho.
Picture mj losing a finals mvp to shaq :mjlol:

Forget all that breh....you're saying that Shaquille O'Neal is a greater All-Time Laker than Kobe Bryant:usure:


Shaq's Lakers career:

8x All-NBA
7x All-Star
3x All-Defense
3x NBA Champion
3x NBA Finals MVP
1x NBA MVP





Compared to Kobe's career as a Laker:

16x NBA All-Star
15x All-NBA
12x All-Defense
5x NBA Champion
2x NBA Finals MVP
1x NBA MVP


But Shaq's higher than Kobe on the Lakers list of greats?:usure:

If Shaq would have stayed on the Lakers until around 2007-2008 when he started to decline he would have nearly the same all star selections, all-nba selections and defensive selections. Lets not act like Tobe's last few selections haven't been based on popularity. Shaq was the driving force to three rings (3 Finals MVPS) and has a RS MVP. What am I missing here?

You're missing the fact that Shaq isnt even a top 3 Laker of all-time. Those spots belong to Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, and KAJ.


You're hypothetically giving Shaq stats/awards/accolades that he never accumulated while donning the Purple & Gold by talking about "if".


Kobe's a MUCH greater Laker than Shaq was....easily. The facts dont lie. How are you gonna say the player who won less Championships, made less ASGs, less All-NBA Teams, less All-Defense teams, is better than a person who accomplished much more in a Lakers uniform?
