without Shaq and Pau, Kobe's playoff record is the same as

[I<3NBA]

Who?

[TheMarkMadsen]

Kareem's without Oscar after he missed the playoffs 2 straight years in his prime after Oscar left

[Akrazotile]

Pre-Heat Chris Bosh?

MJ before Pippen?

Deron Williams?

Kevin Martin?

[Heavincent]

Yeah, Kobe's playoff resume isn't that impressive if you don't count those 13 seasons.

[KembaWalker]

Kobe is living rent free on these boards rn :roll:

[3ball]

Kareem's without Oscar after he missed the playoffs 2 straight years in his prime after Oscar left


See, that's what people don't get - Lebron isn't nearly as dominant as Kareem.. Yet Kareem played on teams where he couldn't make the playoffs because his supporting cast was really bad AND his conference had solid teams..

Whereas Lebron has always either: 1) had a solid supporting cast, and/or 2) his competition in the East was literally the weakest of all time, a joke.

[Yao Ming's Foot]

better than Pau's without Kobe :confusedshrug:

Lmao at this clown thinking Kareem's competition in the West is any better than what LeBron's faced in the East. Here's the epic competition he was facing in the West while without Oscar or Magic. And that was BEFORE playing in the '80's Western Conference, which was arguably just as bad as the 2000's East

As an ardent Bean hater, I gotta admit it is a bit weird. Kobe should be completely irrelevant right now yet he's on the tip of every Bron stan's tongue and kicking his feet up in their skulls and writing $0.00 checks for the rent.

It's the second round of the playoffs and the Cavs are in a tight, compelling series... yet all the talk is about a 36 year old, hobbled lottery team player who's on his way out?

Very odd indeed.

[DFish24]

Shaq without Kobe.

1994 swept in first round
1995 swept in finals

2005 swept in first round
2006 swept in first round
2013 swept in first round

:lol

Don't do em like that

[DonDadda59]

Shaq without Kobe.

Shaq won a championship, made the finals twice, a bunch of deep playoff runs... Pau just got out of the first round, something Bean never did without either. :confusedshrug:

[L.Kizzle]

Kobe is Tracy McGrady without Shaq and Paul. But so is Jordan without Pippen.

First round virgins.

[SouBeachTalents]

Kobe is Tracy McGrady without Shaq and Paul. But so is Jordan without Pippen.

First round virgins.

That'd be second round virgins

[L.Kizzle]

That'd be second round virgins
Who?

[Showtime2001]

Shaq won a championship, made the finals twice, a bunch of deep playoff runs... Pau just got out of the first round, something Bean never did without either. :confusedshrug:
Yet before they played with Kobe they were both career losers and have been swept a combined 8 times without Kobe. :biggums:

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Shaq won a championship, made the finals twice, a bunch of deep playoff runs... Pau just got out of the first round, something Bean never did without either. :confusedshrug:
So why include Pau like hes this some high class player and only include Kobe for Shaq?

What has Shaq done w/o Penny, Wade, Kobe or Bran?

[DonDadda59]

Yet before they played with Kobe they were both career losers and have been swept a combined 8 times without Kobe. :biggums:

Getting swept by Hakeem in the finals or Jordan in the ECF>>>>Not making the playoffs or getting bounced in the first. :confusedshrug:

Hi Harion, what happened to you and your crow pies in 2011? Did you just eat them yourself? :oldlol:

[I<3NBA]

I was going to bump it when Lebron won the next year but by then my Harion acct was banned.

It was a year later, yeah. But still, i guess you guys still ate some crow.

[Droid101]

I don't know. Lakers without Shaq means they'd have room to get someone pretty good most likely. So, not much different?

And Kobe with Pau means nothing really; he had the best record in the west BEFORE the Pau trade happened.

Anything else?

[Dubs510]

Shaq without Kobe.

1994 swept in first round

[riseagainst]

yeah Kobe's resume is pretty bad if you don't count all the seasons he played.

[HylianNightmare]

Give Kobe a teammate like wade and rose and I bet they win a chip. If healthy I bet they would've done alright in the playoffs with Howard and Nash

[Yao Ming's Foot]

Only according to Kobe stans is getting swept in the first round worse than not even making the playoffs. :roll:

Certainly doesn't impact their playoff record. :confusedshrug:
