Did Shaq really carry Kobe

[Ryansrams]

Kobe shot 4-20 and 8-27 in Games 5 and 6 of the 99-00 series. That's horrible. He also shot 7-22 in Game 1 of the 00-01 series.

He scored 30 three times in 14 games. In those games he shot 23/23/30 shots. Shaq scored 43 points on 31 shots.

Since we are so worried who carried who in the championship please bring up D.Wades and Shaq in their championship. When Shaq got all of the false publicity about bringing a chip to Miami. Wade played out of his mind Shaq was just fat and horrible that whole series

[evinecz]

Yes of course Shaq carried Kobe.

[LuCKy_JuNiOr]

Nope.Kobe>MJ

No, No, and no again. Kobe may be the best in the game right now, but he is not GOAT.

Ok? Does that have any relevance to what I am saying?

The point was Shaq carried Kobe to the three-peat, I could care less who carried who with Miami.

Shaq wasn't in his prime anymore.

BTW, I am not a Shaq homer?

Replace Shaq with anyone else from that era then you wouldn't have seen Kobe getting one ring even with Phil Jackson...

Since we all seem to know what "would have happened"...replace Shaq with Duncan. Duncan's probably the most unselfish player and wouldn't have any ego issues with KB24. They'd win at least 5 championships together. Guaranteed

By the way very refreshing thread

BTW, Iverson = one of my favorite player's ever. Isn't he fun to watch?

Point is take someone who wasn't as good or better than Kobe those 3 years and they don't win the title.

Kobe can't do it as the go to guy.

Bottom line is shaq would have not won without Kobe

[LuCKy_JuNiOr]

Bottom line is shaq would have not won without Kobe

How?! He won with D-Wade? Who isn't Kobe.

Ok back that up bring the numbers out Mr. number lover.

[BIGSHOT]

No, No, and no again. Kobe may be the best in the game right now, but he is not GOAT.

Yes, he is the G.O.A.T. That's why he's gonna win the chip this with no other great player-unlike Jordan who needed a top 5 player.

true that.
without Kobe, Shaq would not have been in the playoffs.
Kobe carried them during the regular season, while Shaq nursed his toe.
Shaq carried them in the playoffs, except for certain stints where Kobe was superhuman (just ask Portland fans).

yep... people forget that during those campionship seasons it was shaq who came into camp out of shape, and it was the lakers that carried shaq until he got up to speed....

Ok back that up bring the numbers out Mr. number lover.

don't count on it... lol

He better be with Pau Gasol around.

You have to realize he hasn't even 'lead' his team past the second round yet. I'll gladly give him the benefit of doubt when/if he wins a Championship WITHOUT Shaq. If he's the "greatest of All-time" like you all proclaim him to be then that shouldn't be that hard to do...
