Damn, I wish Kobe's 2009/2010 Lakers were in the league today

At least we'd have a player with killer instinct and a competitive nature to challenge GS and the team to back him up. The only player in the league who has no fear of the Warriors is GOATbrook, but unfortunately even he's not reliable enough to stop them.

The so-called best player in the game sure as hell doesn't have the fire to step up to the challenge.

To be fair since Bird, the only player to have that type of killer instinct is LeBron (See Game 6 vs Boston)


Bird and Bron are the only players to possess that killer instinct since the 70's

Just imagine the intensity that Bynum, Gasol, and Artest would bring

And if they get bounced, they go out like real men. Throwing elbows and flagrant fouling every guard in sight

Kobe would absolutely feast on the spotlight and the pressure. It would definitely be an epic duel between Curry and Kobe. The two GOATs!

Seeing how GS had problems with OKC's size, they would have had major problems with those LA teams

Granted, Fisher on Curry is instant BBQ chicken.

lakers wouldn't be able to switch at all with bynum or gasol and ofc everyone remembers fisher not doing well vs just good pg's. BBQ chicken indeed.

A perimeter oriented team swept the shit out of them one year later.

On the other hand, Lakers big would destroy GSW.

Look at OKC, Steve Adams manhandled GSW and Kanter also scored easily against GSW

as Laker fans have always felt the need to bring up, Bynum wasn't a big factor in the playoffs those years. Gasol be great, but he's not going suddenly go for 30ppg in a series especially playing with Kobe. He play maybe even worse that he did in 10 playoffs since only really the Celtics had guys to guard him. Draymond's still a great defender even if short, bogut is not a joke matchup at all. Those 09/10 Lakers were really good but I think it's pretty easy to argue the last 4 champions were better killer instinct or not.
