why Kobe and Shaq are the greatest duo of all time

[Djahjaga]

The funny thing is Griff used to be a serious poster who just had retarded things to say and then he realized that no one took him seriously anyway. So, to save face he started trolling hard and now people actually think he's always been a troll.

Nothing more loserish than having to become a troll to keep from crying yourself to sleep at night.



What's up, Griff? You sad?

[DatAsh]

all i know is ... kobe without shaq has accomplished more overall than hakeem olajuwon did in his entire career. and that guys top 10 all time

Kobe without Shaq also had more help - relative to the era - than Hakeem did.

Kobe without Shaq also had more help - relative to the era - than Hakeem did.

Also, that statement is just simply wrong.

Is this guy retarded? Jordan & Pippen 6 rings Shaq & Kobe 3 rings enough said. That right there makes them the best Due what an idiot. A Due is two players who cares what they do on there own what matters is how many rings they got while they were teamed up.

[guy]

pippens a legend, can defend 4 positions, top 5 all around 2 way player ever

jordan doesnt have a winning season without him... let alone a finals or ring

You're so right. I'm a complete idiot

[tazb]

wade will be retired in a few years

LeBron will extend his career like Gasol did Kobe.

he had pippen who was a dominant post up player

and he had rodman/grant who were great post defenders/rebounders

rodman locked up shaq

and the bulls were built on defense. they were like the bulls of now.


thats another way to get it done.

Pippen? Dominant? Really?

Grant was a great rebounder? Great post defender?

Locked up?


None of this is even relatively accurate.

Pippen developed a good post game during the mid/late 90's with a jump hook and short bank shot, but wouldn't call him dominant. However, Grant from '92 on was a great post defender and rebounder, or very good, whatever you want to say. Either way, he did excel in those areas, and he was also a solid mid-range shooter, ran the floor well for a big man, a strong finisher who played well off of MJ and Pippen as well as a good passer.

One thing Grant couldn't really do was create his own shot. He wasn't really a 1 on 1 post player, but they didn't need him to be.

Pippen was a solid post player. I know this. Dominant? Not even close.

Grant wasn't great in any of those two aspects. It's not a matter of semantics either. The term great gets tossed around way too loosely around here it's not even funny. Rodman was a great rebounder. Grant does not fit in that category.

kareem went to 1 finals and won 1 ring without magic

magic went to 1 final and never won without kareem
--------------------------------------------

jordan went to 0 finals without pippen and never won without pippen

pippen went to 0 finals without jordan and never won without jordan
--------------------------------------------

kobe went to 3 finals and won 2 rings without shaq

shaq went to 2 finals and won 1 ring without kobe
---------------------------------------------------------------



its obvious kobe and shaq didn't need each other as much as those other guys needed each other

wait, didnt Shaq go to 1 final without Kobe?

[Cali Syndicate]

And Kobe won no MVPs or Finals MVPs while he was teamed with Shaq.



Seriously dude, are these the type of "Nervous Breakdown" type threads that we can expect from you and the "clan" throughout this year's Playoffs?



Anyway, to answer the original question, it's without a doubt Pip and MJ. They simply complimented each other's games beyond any duo to play, IMO.
