you think highly of Kobe... I think everybody on this board understands that by now.

[Yao Ming's Foot]

The Shaq-Kobe threepeat is the most misunderstood era in basketball history. The media and casual fan was so busy trying to decide who was better among the two that they forget the real story which is they did it without a credible 3rd HOF or even a 3rd all star.

The most dominant playoff team of all time 3rd best player had a below league average PER and a defensive supporting cast that netted them the 21st best Defense in the league

[oh the horror]

Dude, anyone without undeniable hatred toward Kobe should be able to acknowledge that Kobe was a force in those playoffs as well.


BUT...I will say, Shaq, was just a fu*king MACHINE though.


The problem with media, and most fans that sink their teeth into media, is that they're always trying to find the "best player" in every scenario. The best player in the league, the best player on a team, yada yada...



EVEN NOW we're seeing the same shit with Wade, and Lebron. Who's team is it?


WHO CARES? None of those players play second fiddle to the other, and if they win a ring in the end, then cant people accept that?



Kobe was putting up monster stats of his own there on average.

Yup, but its called putting everything together. You posted the correct stats, just not all of them.

Leaving FG% out is like shooting yourself in the foot.

Eddy Curry has a higher FG% than Wilt Chamberlain

Eddy Curry doesn't have a comparable volume of points or FGA to Wilt.

shaqs a center, kobes a guard
post players like pf and c, shoot inside the paint >5ft mostly
guards shoot more perimeter shots, and dont camp out in the paint like centers
how about i post free throw %

whos gonna have a higher fg%, a perimeter player or post player?

Who cares? Shaq was far more efficient than Kobe regardless, thus he had more impact. Kobe was and still is a volume scorer.

Please stop posting.
