Shame his buddy Kobe let him down with some bizarre inopportune collapses. 1 point in the second half of game 7.

Lamar was supposed to have been an All Star caliber player, and Darius Miles was supposed to be in the Hall of Fame.

[PJR]

And he was the constant scapegoat for Kobe stans at that time.

Yet Lakers won 3 straight games in that series with Kobe shooting less

And how can you say that Kobe quit in Game 7 when he made 7 shots in the 2nd quarter

but guess what the problem was? They were still down 15 points at the half with Kobe scoring 17 points in the quarter. So Kobe went to the strategy that won the Lakers their 3 games in that series and opted to share the ball and get the team to play harder on defense, it was a trainwreck because no one could make a shot.

Kobe wasn't going to outscore the Suns by himself, they lost with him scoring 50 points in Game 6...

Odom on the other hand failed to secure the defensive rebound against Marion at the end of the 4th in Game 6 that led to the Tim Thomas three, if Lakers rebound that Nash miss they win the game and the series, Odom boxed out Marion but didn't anticipate the ball bouncing off that high so he didn't really jump up to get it, resulting in a 2nd chance opportunity to tie the game, Kwame Brown got pump faked on the shot and left Thomas wide open...

But let's blame Kobe for averaging 28/6/5 ppg on 50% shooting in that series and him trying to pass the ball in the 2nd half of Game 7 because his team wasn't coming back with him just trading buckets with the Suns.

And he was the constant scapegoat for Kobe stans at that time.

Scapegoat? Kobe had a worse cast around him than any of Lebron's Cleveland teams from the mid-2000s. Smush couldn't even stay in the league as a bench player after his ass got traded...Brian Cook was the starting Power Forward for most of the year, a guy who averages 5.5 ppg 2.6 rpg on 44% shooting for his career.

People honestly think that team was supposed to go anywhere? They only won that many games because of Kobe and Odom...Odom wasn't even an all-star.

Odom was better than anyone LeBron had pre decision

Mo Williams is the only argument, and I'd still take Odom easily

LeBron's 2007 cast was worse than Kobe's 2006 and 2007

Odom was legit

Nearly 20/10 with a bunch of assists in the post season

[ShawkFactory]

Odom was a good player.

Not a championship caliber 2nd option but definitely a great 3rd.

He's Chris Bosh tier as a 2nd/3rd piece

Nearly 20/10/5 in the post season as number 2, and 14/10/4/1/1 on good percentages off the bench as a 3rd/4th option

No it's not. And Lebron played in the weaker Conference anyways (offensively) where you could win games as long as you had a defense. Lakers played in a Conference where teams were stacked offensively. Kobe and Odom are supposed to outscore the entire Suns squad? They were lucky enough to go up 3 - 1 with Smush getting a steal on Nash that set up the game-tying shot and Kobe recovering the jump ball at the end that led to the winner..

And Odom wasn't better than Big Z, please... Odom didn't make a single all-star team, Ilgauskas was so good Cleveland actually retired his number.

Ilgauskas says hi .

Shame his buddy Kobe let him down

Let me guess, you are one of those people that complains when Kobe shoots, and also complains when he doesn't shoot... yeah.
