Kobe stans are the worst fan base in sports history. Completely delusional.
I'm not even close to being a Kobe stan. I never grew up rooting for him or the Lakers.

Same. I was a bit if a hater but after his 08-10 run there were no legs left to stand on at that point and I appreciated his game.

Who?
[QUOTE=Baller234;14872495]Dude stop.
A team led by Gasol, Bynum and Odom doesn't accomplish jack shit. They're a 2nd round team at best.[/QUOTE]
You act like that's a bad thing. People clown MJ for the Bulls making it that far without him.
[QUOTE=1987_Lakers;14870954]This is exactly what happened in game 7 vs Boston, luckily the other guys were able to bail him out.
I remember Denver trying a similar strategy in game 7 of 2012, but Kobe was finally smart about it and passed the ball a bit more[/QUOTE]
Funny enough, I was thinking about that 2012 series earlier today. I remembered in that game 7 where Pau had a crazy sequence where he grabbed like 5 offensive rebounds in a few seconds. I went to see if this really happened or if I'm just remembering stuff wrong. It did in fact happen.

Funny how it had to be triggered first with an airball from kobe's shot. :lol
[QUOTE=Gudo;14872366]Anywhere between 5-12 seems reasonable to me[/QUOTE]
I agree with that. I personally have him 6th behind MJ, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Wilt.

That clip is the opposite of soft you unappreciative mfer :facepalm

Fk off man I was there in 2012, he was soft af and the reason why they got bounced in the OKC series. Pau in the previous game had 3 points on 1/10 shooting when KB was the only Laker who showed up for it. Almost blew a 3 - 1 lead off that shit. He no showed in the OKC series. I don't wanna hear no revisionist history from the KB haters over a decade later man.
I rank all players as how good of a teammate they were besides as well as a person , besides stats and chips.
Kobe
Teammate 0
person rapist
stats thru the roof as a ball hog
over all score top 15 (.)

It sure didn't help that Kobe shot like 42% in that series.
Considering his career really didn't start until the 2005 season when he was mature enough and good enough to lead a team, I have him around the 20's range.
