@DantheLakersFAN@AlainLamour91 When would have won another one?
2012 no they were a 8 seed that scraped into the offs
2013 no dwight left no replacement
2014 no
2015 no
When lol?
@ThaGoatuh I dont kill him for it lol its understandable in his 1st finals he didnt have an explosive finals and likewise that kareem at 40 didnt have an explosive finals isnt this common sense?
@brutusisjewish@ThaGoatuh Nva,Penny,Nick anderson,Eddie Jones,Glen rice and Dennis Scott trust me im well aware shaq played with solid players before but they weren't #2 options like a clyde that hakeem had which is also the reason hakeem was the only successful one out of the 90s bigs until duncan w drob
@brutusisjewish@ThaGoatuh clear reason shaq won all 3 fmvps averaging 35 ppg over those 3 finals it was because he was the best player on the planet
After 03 fine you can argue kobe and shaq were equals their last 2 years and id agree with you there
Saying kobe needed shaq isnt a insult just a fact
@brutusisjewish@ThaGoatuh Nothing because he faced bigmen with better running partners
Kobe was the best Robin ever I dont deny that but the reason shaq didnt win anything before kobe wasnt bc of shaq it was bc shaq rarely had anyone else to come along for the ride w him
@brutusisjewish@ThaGoatuh Kobe to his credit played his part as a great as anyone could've hoped for but
Every roster in the leauge had 4+ big men to absorb fouls for shaq not kobe there was a clear level difference
And the reason they weren't 4/4 in the finals was bc kobe shot them out the 04 finals
@brutusisjewish@ThaGoatuh I never said one didnt need one more then the other
But there was a clear dichotomy at play
Before kobe shaq never had anyone else to even come close to loading perimeter scoring to any extent not even penny was
But Shaq was still the more dominant of the two
@ThaGoatuh A 40 yr old in a 1988 might as well be a 50 yr old the fact that kareem was producing anything at that point in his career was miracle
How was kobe doing at 40 with modern medicine? He wasnt playing
Kareem didnt have modern medicine was well past any form of athletic prime
