Why does Shaq get a pass for playing with Kobe?

[KingJay]

I will always rank Shaq above Patrick Ewing....but I hate when people think the gap is that phukin great...it isn't....Ewing's best two guard was John Starks....Shaq had the picks of the litter.

NY nikkas get so defensive over Patrick Ewing

Shaq averaged 38 PPG on 61% shooting while Kobe averaged 16 PPG on 37% in the Finals.

 

[Johnny Kilroy]

That's like saying Jordan played with Pippen.

 

[Swagnificent]

The go to argument for LeBron dikkheads is that Kobe had Shaq but, that narrative always leaves out the fact that Shaq HAD Kobe. As a teammate.

Jordan had Pippen.
Isiah had Dumars.
Bird had Mchale.
Hakeem had nobody really.

You know many fukking rings Jordan, Bird, Isiah, Hakeem and others would have had if they had Kobe as their teammate a nikka averaging 27-29 pts per game each season. nikka...imagine Jordan and Kobe in the Bulls backcourt

No, all them guys had supporting players as their number 2. Guys that were good but not top 10 players.

Shaq though....that fakkit had the 2nd greatest shooting guard to ever play as his teammate yet Shaq gets to get all the praise as if his ass would've won 3 rings with Joe Dumars or Vernon Maxwell as his number 2 Scottie Pippen wouldn't have helped either considering Kobe blazed the Kings, Spurs and Blazers multiple times for 30+ ppg a series and that was way beyond Scottie's capabilities.

nikkas love giving Shaq a pass. All his rings came from being teammates with the 2nd and 3rd best shooting guards in NBA history but no criticism is ever heaved his way for needing all that help to win.

Its simply cause people are anti-Kobe.

Kobe's the reason they bring up these arguments.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Those videos. Beautiful big man basketball.

Facts.


In today's era, coaches be like "let's throw 5 shooters out there. No centers"


I like post play. I like footwork on the block. I miss THAT NBA

Shaq averaged 38 PPG on 61% shooting while Kobe averaged 16 PPG on 37% in the Finals.

That was only one series. In addition, Kobe sprained his ankle really badly one minute into game 2. That caused him to have 0s across the board for that game. He also missed all of game 3. So essentially you are citing numbers from 5 games Kobe played with one of those games being 0s across the board on the stat sheet cause he got injured one minute into game 2 and had to miss the rest of the game.

Citing that one finals as proof is intentionally misleading.

Kobe averaged 29/7/6 the following postseason and then 27/6/5 the year after that. How bout you cite those numbers too? Or does that not support your fraudulent agenda.

I don't remember Shaq getting many passes when he played with Kobe

 

[obarth]

My goodness, y'all nikkas stay making shyt threads

I thought that performances, in the finals, matters more than anything else? Lebron doesn't get bonus points for his 2011 finals despite all the amazing playing he did in the Eastern Conference or the fact that he won a ring with great numbers in 2012?

[Columbo]

Shaq had tougher matchups in the west and faced the defensive player of the year in the finals twice. Negged

 

[Remote]

Terrible thread. One of the worst in weeks.

And that's saying a lot with swagnificent, suavehooper and fabtrey on this board.

 

[hayesc0]

Why ain't that fat fukk win with Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones

He was the man right? He was the leader right? Where were the rings?

Shaq was getting his ass beat by the Utah Jazz until Kobe decided to save his legacy
