Bron lost a very winnable 2007 Finals, but he LeChoked and got LeSwept.

Flip side, Kobe gentlemen swept that very same Spurs squad the following season.

Easy work for the Mamba. 🐍

A month after his three-peat, Kobe put on a show at Rucker Park 👀

@timc1817 16 years, only 3 Finals trips. Can’t win without Steph.

Just proves efficiency is the most overrated stat and only gets used to try and diminish Kobe. All that efficiency and still a loser. 😂

Kobe got it done with and without a Superstar/Star teammate 45% is good enough. 🤣

This app will tell you Pau Gasol was basically Hakeem and will act like Tony Parker and Ginobili was Derek Fisher and Metta World Peace.

The 2002-03 MVP race between Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady is still heavily debated. Who was the better player that season?

Tim Duncan ultimately won the MVP after averaging 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks while leading the Spurs to 60 wins.

Final MVP voting:

Tim Duncan: 962 points
Kevin Garnett: 871 points
Kobe Bryant: 496 points
Tracy McGrady: 427 points

Who had the better 2002-03 season, Kobe or T-Mac?

Ray Allen says modern basketball has lost one of its greatest skills, and he thinks analytics are to blame.

Brice Butler: When you watch today's game, do you see it as evolution, or do you think basketball has lost its art?

Ray Allen: When I came into the league, basketball was beautiful.

Ray Allen: Teams ran motion offenses, set hard screens, made four or five passes, cut backdoor, it was like watching a machine work.

Ray Allen: It was never about one great player. It was about all five guys doing their job.

Ray Allen: Sometimes you'd make the hardest cut on the floor knowing you were never getting the ball, just so someone else could score.

Ray Allen: That's basketball.

Ray Allen: Now? Teams shoot threes, then more threes, then even more threes.

Ray Allen: We've lost the mid-range game.

Ray Allen: We've lost post-up players. Big men barely have a place anymore.

Ray Allen: And to me, that's the tragedy.

Ray Allen: You have analytics guys who've never played the game telling organizations they should only shoot threes and layups.

Ray Allen: But here's the proof they're wrong...

Ray Allen: Look at Oklahoma City and Indiana.

Ray Allen: Yes, they had great three-point shooters... but they also dominated in the pick-and-roll and the mid-range.

Ray Allen: When I came into the NBA, some of the greatest players lived in that area of the floor.

Ray Allen: That's an art, and I think we've lost it.

@BizzAdult Yes, he did.

Zepeda had better footwork, better head movement, was more patient, and used angles a lot better.

He still doesn’t beat Shakur, but that version definitely wins more than one round.

Put some respect on the work Zepeda put in.

5 minutes of Kobe being the smoothest player to ever touch a basketball court 🔥

[The Case For Kobe @TheCaseForkobe1]

A clutch game is one that, by definition, both teams have a chance to win. They generally come down to the team that has the best player. You didn't get blown out by a superior team. You are are within 5 points, with 5 mins or less to go.
Lebron is 12-16. Kobe is 14-8 I dont wanna see another graphic comparing Lebrons & Kobes regular season stats again.

Shaquille O’Neal says the Lakers could have won seven championships if he had taken less money instead of insisting on a $150 million contract after Kobe Bryant became the franchise player

“If I had the wisdom I have now back then… seven.”

“The reason I got traded wasn’t about me and Kobe beefing.”

“They wanted me to take less money.”

“Kobe said at least 10.”

“I had money.”

“I should have been like, ‘Alright, I raised you enough. It’s your team now.’”

“I was still gonna do my 28 and 10.”

“But I was like, ‘Nah, I want $150 million. I don’t care what you like.’”

“If I had it all over again, I probably would’ve had a meeting with the family.”

“Do y’all want me to take less money, take a lesser role, and stay here?”

“My ego got me what I wanted.”

“I still went to Miami, partnered with D-Wade, and still won one.”

“But I would have liked to have stayed there the rest of my career.”
