So that probably happened in 2010? I guess.

2013 Kobe and Dirk playing under MDA's system ... ? Holy shih tzu :eek:

colluding bch

[ArbitraryWater]

Oh yes.. this qualifies as colluding, but besides the point.. Dirk n Kobe :applause:

[StephHamann]

One of the greatest what ifs in NBA history.

Kobe and Dirk damn :biggums:

This has already been posted, I'll repeat my reply, not even as good as Lebron at recruiting.

Every damn nba player will pick LeBron over Kobe when it's time to team up. 10 times out of 10. Nothing new, LeBron recruiting ability gets overrated here :facepalm

.. Bamp!

[sdot_thadon]

Well this paints a completely different picture of kobe than the stan mythology thrown around here since 2010. Coupled with the fact that the world champion spurs and wcf runner up suns were on his short list of "trade me here" teams. Awfully quiet thread too......:rolleyes:

[Kobe_6/8]

Assuming Pau leaves, Nash/Kobe/Dirk/Dwight would have been dominant.

[SpaceJam]

As nice as that team would have been, I'm glad it didn't happen

Dirk needed to be a Mav forever

[brain drain]

We should all be glad that Dirk didn't go to LA because then the Mavs' 2011 run wouldn't have happened - and that was a thing of beauty.

Hasn't Kobe made subtle jabs about not needing to collude? The dude tried his whole career, but the 2 times he got players to join it failed, and the other times he tried the players didn't want to join him.
