@LexDiamonds__ 2004 Finals as well, just fucking horrendous. I’m a Pistons fan and while I do think they were massively underrated going into that series, on paper they should not have won. Kobe got absolutely clamped by Prince and never recovered. Great shot in Game 2 tho.
@Sudanesejerry2 Swear to god he had Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown in Boston but maybe I’m crazy… “they were young” man shut the fuck up KD took a young Westbrook and Baby Harden to the Finals in a much harder West
@t_one11@JeffBaron2@ScottKacsmar None of those guys were ranked higher than KD all time… ??? brother what are you even saying? Curry is better than KD legacy wise. It’s not arguable. KD didn’t win shit without Curry and Curry won MULTIPLE rings without KD. 2022 ended this debate man
@hoodiepap22@Bottginald@theblockspot I’m fine if you take shots at Bron, but the same energy is never applied to Jordan/Kobe. Kobe has massive stains on his basketball resume as well. And you mention super teams but Bron carried far worse teams to the Finals than some of Kobe’s teams that didn’t even make playoffs
@hoodiepap22@Bottginald@theblockspot Kobe lost to the Pistons as HEAVY underdogs and played horrific in the series
Kobe was unequivocally not the best player on AT LEAST 2 of his 5 title teams… that is inarguable
Kobe blew a 3-1 lead to a Suns team that never won anything
Kobe again had a horrible Finals in 2008
@t_one11@JeffBaron2@ScottKacsmar Brother none of those guys are close to LeBron or Kawhi dude. Wade and AD are close but were never top 4 of their era like Kawhi was… the others are nowhere close
@t_one11@JeffBaron2@ScottKacsmar Steph won 2 titles without KD. KD won 0 without Steph. KD lost to a bunch of players that aren’t as good as Kawhi and LeBron also
@t_one11@JeffBaron2@ScottKacsmar Durant never won a title as the objective best player on their team
Every player above him won MULTIPLE as the best player on the team. If you wanna say KD was better than Curry, fine but it wasn’t indisputable
