That avy
He has beaten teams with all-time greats before, to the count of 5+ (that would be Duncan (4) - then add fillers).
He wrecked the 2004 Lakers.
OP almost enjoys getting his shit pushed in around here.

You're right.
Malone and Payton was pretty much on the level with these Hawks players.

Three of those times were with Shaq, MDE and a fellow top 10 GOAT of all time, with two before Parker and Manu were in the league. I'm now going to take it upon myself to use Kenneth's own system against him here as well and also place an asterisk next to the '04 one for Fisher's .4 second shot. I will also have to put an asterisk next to '01 and '08 due to injuries to top 2 players, so in reality Kobe only defeated Duncan once (with PEAK MDE Shaq and no Parker/Ginobili) while Duncan has defeated Kobe three times in their careers, respectively.

Yeah, it was all Kobe's fault. The rest of the team outside of Shaq shooting 33%, Malone injured, Shaq's lazy play defensively, lazy play on the boards and not establishing position in the paint, and Payton's atrocious play on both ends of the floor had nothing to do with it. It's all Kobe's fault. That's why the biggest blow-out loss came in the game where he only had 13 shots, right?
What a moron. :oldlol:

The easy narrative of the Lakers losing that series that people like to latch onto (particularly Kobe detractors) is that Kobe was gunning for Finals MVP because he was tired of being viewed as Shaq's second fiddle and then after that he forced Shaq out of L.A., but that's pretty far from the actual truth on both accounts. It's not a coincidence that the biggest blow-out for Detroit that series came in the game where Bryant only took 13 shots. They literally had nobody who could create anything on the perimeter and nobody who could shoot. At times they were running a lineup of Kobe, Kareem Rush, Slava Medvedenko, Devean George, and Derek Fisher. With Malone, Grant, and Rick Fox injured, they no longer had Robert Horry, and as I already pointed out Payton was totally ineffective, this may be a worse team top to bottom than Kobe's 2006 squad outside of Shaq. But its more fun to imagine Kobe dribbling down the court with devil horns sticking out of his head, cackling like a mad scientist as he jacks up 30 foot fade-aways over 5 defenders while Shaq is under the rim wide open, on both knees, hands clasped together begging for the ball. We actually tried to force-feed Shaq plenty. It was almost as good for a turnover as it was a field goal. The game Kobe had the least shot attempts, 13, Shaq still only shot 14 times. If Bryant's chucking was the only thing preventing Shaq from getting the rock and putting it in the hole, you'd think he'd have shot 25+ times with Kobe easing up, but that's not how basketball works.
It is how good the Pistons defense was though. "You want to get the ball inside? Good luck." They weren't holding teams to <80ppg because they didn't know how to handle post players. Actually getting the basketball in the paint was a bitch, be you perimeter player or bigman.
The guards outside of Kobe shot 30% for the series. The small forwards (Walton and George) shot 40%. The team as a whole shot 33% outside of Shaq. Nobody was making shots from the perimeter when Kobe fed them, and the Pistons made it difficult to feed Shaq inside the way they would have liked to. Kobe is Kobe, and he thinks he can make anything no matter what.
