Kobe showed last night that he can still perform at a high level. If he gets ring number six how will that effect his legacy? Should he do it?

This has to be Kenny right? Can we get a ban for using alts to subvert another ban?

You think getting his in a 20 pt loss to a fringe playoff team warrants discussion about the possibility of a Championship? They are, as a matter of fact, the second worst team in the NBA. If 27 yr old MJ walked through the door the Lakers would have a zero percent chance at winning the title this year. Without MJ its LESS than zero.

But sure, if Kobe leads this Laker team to a title this year he would instantly move up the all time rankings enormously. But he can't and they won't, so you are dumb for asking.

Might as well ask what would happen if Kobe scored 150 in a game. The likelihood is the exact same.

I have the same odds of winning a 6th NBA championship ring this year as Kobe. :banana:

A Duncan/Bran title seems to catapult other players.

So if Kobe goes to the Warriors next year and wins his 6th, he will have a case for that GOAT spot.

He's 2nd all time...may be 1a/1b with MJ after number 6.

Not much because his peak play still leaves something to be desired, in comparison to most players in the top 10

He could be the third option on a great team. On ISH of course this wouldn't mean anything and his ring "wouldn't count"

Nah, warriorfan. Using the exact same gimmick as that "MontaEllisMVP" alt account but with the Pelicans instead of the Pacers.

It's so ****ing sad. Dude has like 5 confirmed alts now and constantly quotes himself. His main Warriorfan account also only had like 20 posts back in Februrary too :roll:

If he continued to play like he has over the last 6 games, he could.

Talking to himself all day while either getting ignored or picked on. Seriously must live an insanely sad life to waste time being the guy who only gets attention for being a loser. :(

Feel kinda bad for him. More sad for his parents though if they're still alive.

Maybe, then again everything Kobe does is blow out of proportion. Dude dunks and the whole world stops for a minute. You see the replay and it's not even a legit poster. :confusedshrug:

To me that's Kobe's career in a nutshell. Always gets too much credit for shit. Even in a year he's arguably the worst starter in the league. :facepalm

The fact that you think he can keep this up is hilarious. He'll be crawling on his knees by the end of February and be back to being shitty long before then. There isn't one team that, if they had championship aspirations, he would be a 3rd option on at this point in his career. This is almost as funny as the "kobe should sign with warriors for the vet and be their 6th man" bullshit. Yeah...kerr is going to put in an 38 year old kobe over Iggy...

Since he's retiring after this season. If he somehow lead THIS Lakers team to a championship, I'd put him in the GOAT range with MJ, KAJ, and the couple others. It would be the most remarkable carry job in sports history.

Here are the 3 teams with a shot at the Championship this year:

Golden State
Cle
SAS

He isn't nearly the level of Curry/Dray/Klay, and I would argue he is WELL behind Barnes/Iggy/Bogt/Ezeli. Which means he MIGHT be 8th (Livingston, Barbosa, Speights are all arguable given their aptitude to play their roles).

Is he in front of LBJ/Kyrie/KLove? Of course not. He is almost certainly behind TT, Shump, Mozzy too. I think even JR would be a better fit for this team.

SAS? Ha. Kobe couldn't even get on the floor with this crew.

Go deeper if you want.

OKC- KD/RWB/Ibaka? Ha!
LAC- CP3/Blake/DeAndre? Ha!

Sorry but NO. He would get ~8 min tops on the contenders. And thats assuming there was a way to pretend the CBA didn't exist and they could even trade him for nothing (which he isn't worth given his salary).

I don't mind theoretical questions. But this one is DUMB.

you are confusing third option with third best player. If Kobe somehow could maintain his level of play of the last 6 games (18/5/5 on 49%) he could be the third option for the Spurs. Doesn't mean he would be the third best player though. Cavs no, they are loaded with scorers. Same goes for GSW. Is this version of Kobe (last 6 games) good enough to come off the bench for OKC as an ultra 6th man? Probably, but doesn't mean he's as good as Ibaka or that he would even accept that role. I doubt he keeps up this level of play, but there are some good teams where he could go and be the third option if he kept scoring 18 per game with good rebounding and assist on good efficiency

Its such an absurd premise to begin with. But no, if he is ANY option that team would be precluded from winning because he takes the entire possession away from offenses and has been historically inefficient. Has he been good over the last two weeks? Sure, in the last 8 games he has been a little better but they are 1-7 and have losses of 22, 29, and 20 pts in the last week. Its not like teams are even playing him hard. Take the blowout win and go out in LA.

Pop would throw him off the team. That team operates with such precision. Kobe's ball stopping, no defense... just no. Wouldn't fit at all and he would be well behind their entire backcourt rotation. Yes, Patty Mills is FAR better for that team than Kobe would be.

Sure, he is probably comparable to Waiters. His best shot would be OKC. But he would make them worse, they don't need any scorers, etc.
