Real talk I fully understand why most of the league was against CP3 joining Kobe

[Sccit]

You’ll stans are mentally ill

If they trade doesn’t happen then the lakers don’t win 2 chips

GO REVIST THE TRADE BUDDY

MEMPHIS PUT THEMSELVES IN POSITION TO BE A PLAYOFF TEAM FOR NEARLY A DECADE AFTER WINNING 22 GAMES THE PREVIOUS SEASON

WE WERE ALREADY FIRST PLACE IN THE WEST BEFORE THE MIDSEASON TRADE

 

[Sccit]

SO WE GUNA PRETEND KOBE DIDNT SIT OUT 2 GAMES BECAUSE HE WAS INJURED?

IS THIS WHAT BRON GROUPIES DOIN NOW??

 

[Sccit]

Marc didn’t really come into his own till about 2012/2013

Kobes not leading the lakers to a title in 2012/2013 with Marc

Hell kobe would’ve probably switched teams before then

2012-2013 WAS ONE OF KOBES BEST SEASONS

meanwhile Lebron gets to play with any all star he choses

that's why the League should never own teams. Because as soon as some owners see others get a competitive advantage in their eyes, they cry.

Without Pau that squad isn’t winning a chip

And Marc was about 4 years away from really coming into his own

Listen Kobes a legend and was the head honcho during that 2nd run

But you’ll gotta stop downplaying pau as If he was some scrub

Because before he came the lakers were a fringe playoff team with nothing but first round exits
Including a 3-1 meltdown

Some of us actually watched the games, not just post random stats. That's Kobe Bryant closing out Game 4 AND WINNING with Shaq on the bench. Are you trying to imply Austin Croshere dominated Kobe in the 2000 NBA Finals?

2012-2013 WAS ONE OF KOBES BEST SEASONS

It’s not even a top 5 season for kobe h
He was still getting buckets and playmaking but defensively he was a minus
At that point he completely stopped rotating and closing out

Besides kobe and Marc aren’t enough for the heat, spurs, and thunder

Pau Gasol didnt win a playoff game before playing with Kobe. And he wasn't a top 3 PF at the time. Period.

That's the craziest part, Kobe did all of that on a bad ankle!

Ok and

How many playoff series did the lakers win after shaq left don’t worry I’ll wait

nikkas alwyas love to forget that. Before that season Lakers werent even predicted to make the playoffs, but half way through they were in 1st place until Bynum got hurt. Oh yeah, at that time nikkas still thought Bynum wasn't shyt, he was a bust etc, but Kobe was making him better

KOBE AND PAU WERE .. SO KOBE AND MARC DEF WOULD

MARC IS A FORMER DPOY...SO WHERE KOBE LOSES DEFENSE, MARC PICKS UP WAY MORE THAN WHAT PAU OFFERED.

Are you saying Pau is a more dominant low post presence than Marc?

Basically breh, these nikkaz are essentially tryin' to argue that Rik Smits is a better center than Shaq
