Kobe Won 2 rings in 6 years with Pau as his second option. Just 6 years. Kobe was peaking for like 14-15 years in his career. The Gasol years aren’t even half of Kobe’s peak.
Clearly, he could win another 2-3 with another solid option. Wining with Pau was proof he didn’t need Shaq to win rings. That was the whole reason for the 2009 revenge season 🐍
If you need a reminder, here’s 24 minutes of greatness to get you back in the swing of things. Kobe 2009 season one of the best all time.
@MrKeepItRegular@twentyfourfard@5192Richie Exactly I watched all those finals and every scoring guard would cook Derek fisher! We would just hide him on defense the best we could. people gotta stop tryna make the lakers team better then what they were
@twentyfourfard@MrKeepItRegular@5192Richie Derek fisher and Lamar Odom were not playing elite defense. We played good team defense but them two were def our liabilities especially Derek fisher in the later years. Odom was cool but elite is way to much

This is why we go to bat for Kobe Because we were all there and saw how this dude was just on a different level than everyone. 3 years in the finals coming out the west with his Second option never averaging even 20 that entire run & still gets 2 chips.
