“Kobe was a sidekick w/Shaq” or “Kobe was just a Scottie Pippen in those Finals w/Shaq”, is the biggest lie in the Kobe narrative. Used to diminish Kobe on all time list. But it’s TOTAL GARBAGE.
Kobe’s FIRST PLAYOFF RUN IN 99-2000 is the only only time he was comparable to Pippen. And that 1st championship, Kobe was equal or better than prime Pippen. That was the only time he was a “Pippen”, and then after that he was the Superstar right along with Shaq.
Kobe’s 00-01 playoff championship run: 29.4PPG| 7.3Reb| 6.1Ast
is equal or better than:
Prime Lebron James championship run 12-13: 25.9PPG| 8.4Reb|6.6Ast
And it’s not just the stats, this is the truth by the impact of the GAME. This is why Shaq said in 2001 that Kobe was THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE. Don’t let these Kobe Haters trick you. Kobe is a Top 1-3 player all time. His dominance is obvious and prevalent.
