the only man to win multiple championships without another NBA HOF team mate
[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/287d81u.png[/IMG]
no other player in history has done it
the only other guy on his team that might make it will be as an international contributor
Pau Gasols individual nba accolades arent up to par
4 reserve allstar selections
1 third team all nba
2 second team all nba's
0-16 in the playoffs without kobe bryant
just as a comparison.. this is anfernee hardaways career
4 starting allstar selections
2 first team all nba's
1 third team all nba
9 playoff wins without shaq
now.. say anfernee hardaway lucked out 2 rings with the suns behind jason kidd.. even if he had 2 good years.. he still wouldnt be a hall of famer.
and making the hall of fame based on winning olympic silver medals or euro competition gold isnt exactly on the same level as an nba hall of famer. considering that if an american wins a silver medal or some second rate international gold. that wouldnt get them a hall of fame nomination. plus its allot easier to be the best player on a euro national team than it is on the US team
Re: the only man to win multiple championships without another NBA hall of famer
Both Phil Jackson and pau gasol will be in the HOF. PJ doesn't get enough credit for some of his teams success. His player management is second to none.
Re: the only man to win multiple championships without another NBA hall of famer
So we're just going to ignore his hall of fame head coach? :no: That triangle offense is the reason LA was so successful.

Re: the only man to win multiple championships without another NBA hall of famer
False.
Pau Gasol will be in the hall of fame whether you like it or not?
Re: the only man to win multiple championships without another NBA hall of famer
Weren't the '09 and '10 Lakers the best rebounding teams in the NBA? I'm pretty sure that they had the best front court in the NBA as well.

like i said.. being good for a few years doesnt make pau or penny hall of famers
he was a soft playoff choker.. then in 2008 he joined kobe... had a good 2009 and 2010.. then fell off the face of the earth

Inb4 Branslowski comes in to tell you that, for some reason, Gasol wasn't part of the front court.

yes. but it will be as an international contributer
like i said in the title.
"no other NBA hall of famer"
is pau making the hof based on his individual nba accolades of 2 third team awards?
[SIZE="5"]hell no [/SIZE]
:lol
its the naismith basketball hof... not the nba hof... remember that

Kobe the only player to win multiple championships while getting bailed out by scrubs.

There is only one basketball hall of fame. Therefore your claim is false.
And on NBA alone...it's very close. I bet he'd probably get in on NBA alone actually.
But this thread is so pointless. In 2011...Dirk won a title without anyone as good as Gasol. The hall of famer thing is just stupid of the hall of famer in question is well past his prime.

The triangle was the reason for the success?
Must be why the Bulls took home titles in 94 & 95 and why LA took home the gold in 04, 05, 06..
You can run the best schemed offense in the world but you need elite players or a good combination of players with certain skill sets to get it done.
Lamar wasn't Close to being as good as Pippen, but took the role of a forward/guard distributor while Ariza took the role of lengthy perimeter defender.
The 09 Lakers were incredibly thin when you looked past their starting 5, the guard depth was inconsistent at best, the starting point guard was shooting at a low efficiency while being a liability on defense, and their 3rd best player wasn't consistently good enough to start.
And on top of all that the startin center played under 30 minutes per game and grabbed less than 5 boards per..
That "big 3" was Kobe/Gasol/Odom which is pretty weak compared to the more recent big 3s to win championships.
