If you're using the word and, you're combining those players, so that makes your statement false.

C'mon bruh. Best thing to do would've been to leave out the Diesel. Just flamed your own nonsense.

Sam Jones, John Havlicek have more rings than those guys too.

You'd think so but the laker stanbase openly admits that if Kobe is not part of the team they won't show up to games or watch on TV.

So from a revenue standpoint you have no choice. The laker stanbase doesn't know good basketball, it only knows worshipping other men.

The team has to take care of its stans. Stans are the ones that shell out 100 bucks for a piece of fabric that says "Bryant" on the back.

And Pippen still has more rings than Kobe ever will. And from what I've learned from Kobe fans, 2nd option rings count just as much as 1st option rings.

Lets not act like people don't say the only reason Kobe has 5 is because three are shaqs. Just have to point out if that was the case, Kobe wouldn't have added two more.

Great for Scottie. He was the second best player in the league for a long time.

And honestly you don't even need to bring rings into the equation to know that Pippen >> Kobe as overall impact basketball players.

The only reason Kobe has 5 is because of Derrick Fisher.

Right. And if Bill Russell was the reason for Haliceks rings, he wouldn't have added more after Russell retired. 8 rings. No FMVP in NBA history has as many rings as Havlicek.

Buddy. Sam Jones has 10 rings. Don't know if math is your strongest subject but that's 2X the amount of rings Bean has. It takes 2 Kobe Bryants to equal one Sam Jones, fact.

John Havlicek only has 3 more rings than Bean but he has 1 finals MVP (would be 2 if the award existed before '69). 8 rings, 2 finals MVPs>>>5 rings, 2 finals MVPs.

John Havlicek>>>Kobe Bryant. Fact.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

When the hell was Scottie Pippen ever the second best player in the NBA? :biggums:

[DonDadda59]

Kobe Bryant without Derek Fisher = A homeless man's TMac. Not even an all star lineup featuring D-Howard, Pau Gasol, and Steve Nash could get Bean anything but the last seed (secured when Bean was out with injury, technically when he went down they were the 10th seed) without D-Fish.

Don't forget that when Fisher was on hiatus from the Lakers during Kobe's prime he was hitting heroic playoff shots for the Jazz after flying in from being with his sick daughter, while Kobe was getting bounced from the first round and sleeping around and bringing public shame to his family.


Fisher is on his way back to another finals this year. Kobe is on his way toward another seat on the couch without him this year.

Lakers pecking order was always 1) Shaq- Alpha 2) Fisher- Assistant Alpha 3) Eddie Jones- Beta 4) Kobe Bryant- Omega

Kobe was fetching gatorade, washing cars, carrying bags for Eddie Jones. Kobe was so low on the totem pole that retired players came back just to give this n*gga the bizness.

http://www.givemesport.com/431377-kobe-bryant-hazed-by-kareem-and-wilt-chamberlain

Shaq left along with Fish and the team went to hell with Mr. Omega 'leading' them to a glorious 34-48 record. It wasn't until Fish came back to right the ship after leading the NBA as players' association president and claimed his rightful spot as the alpha dog that the Lakers came back to prominence. Then he left again and everything went to shit same as before.

True. And actually people often forget, the season Fish came back they already were playing well and outperforming expectations even before abruptly being gifted Gasol which took them from good to great.

I mean if you strip it down to purely being results based, Fisher > Gasol > Kobe

Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Sam Jones, Scottie Pippen, Robert Horry, and etc etc have more rings than Bean. So... wassup with your list bruh?

[The Iron Fist]

Almost right. It goes based on the research and viewing I have done. I've been watching basketball since 1985. I seen many of these players play. Read alot about many others. If he wants to bring up role players like Fisher, Havlicek, Horry, thats fine and dandy and he can pump his fist all he wants.
But in the grand scheme of things, those guys are simply lower tier players. In all reality, while hes cutting down Kobe by saying those players are better, hes just putting lebron down even more.

Wrong. Check your facts dumb dumb.

As for Kobe, the contract salary was deserved because of what his persona brings off the court. The money he was paid was way too much for what he can do on the court now, which right at this moment is nothing. In the future he won't even be playing at an all-star level.
