Kobe's impact

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Gasol > Wade

Odom > Bosh

Bynum >>> Rest of the Heat

Jackson >> Spoelstra

Is it that hard to understand?

Bold areas are just wrong. With Gasol v Wade it depends on whether or not you're comparing Gasol to 2011/12 Wade or 2013/14 Wade imo. No one disputes that Jackson > Spoelstra.

08 Paul Hornets, 09 Melo Nuggets, 10 past prime Nash Suns.. lol

Of course this idiot wouldn't know the Lakers played the Spurs in 08

He never really had a big impact on the floor like other greats. Kinda overrated.

How can anybody who watched the Lakers lose their series to the Spurs in 99 and then watch the Lakers sweep the Spurs in 01 with Shaq producing almost the exact same in each series question Kobe's impact?

Lakers had 3 all star guards next to Shaq in the late 90's, 2 legit all stars at the least next to Shaq and they never went to the finals..

Then when Kobe became elite and the Lakers traded away those 2 all star guards for nothing.. the Lakers all of a sudden win 3 straight championships..

Outside of Jordan Kobe is the only player in the top 10 to make 3 straight finals twice..

and we're sitting here discussing Kobe's impact? Please..

great post

you take Lamar Odom and you compare him to the guy who Magic and Bird and Lebron had as their 3rd options and you tell me if that really matches up.

I'm not comparing the Kobe/Pau/Odom core to anyone. You are.

I'm just saying they were a nice championship core. Do you not agree?

Odom is underrated because he was never an all-star. But some players are just overlooked and underappreciated.

For instance, Larry Hughes put up 22 pts/6.3 reb/4.7 ast and led the league with 2.9 steals per, while making the all-defensive 1st team. But he wasn't an all-star that year. I believe the only other people to put up those same numbers were Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen (they only started recording steals in the 1970s).

Guys like you want to make it seem like Kobe won those championships by himself with only the occasional helping hand from Pau

Kobe was the man on those teams, of course, but he had help, just like everyone else.
