Kobe, Lebron, KD failed to three-peat

[SouBeachTalents]

Isiah & the Pistons would've 3peated if not for this infamous call

Not nearly as horrendous as your boy.

Just like in 07 when all he needed to do was not play like the worst player in the league.

Winnable games and he simply sucked and choked.

Just like 11.

I bet he would have shot better if he had as much offensive help (and a better coaching staff to help draw up good plays for him) as Kobe did to take the pressure off him.

Winnable games for Kobe in 2008 and he simply sucked and choked.

[kentatm]

That would've made 4 finals in a row.

I'm not talking about that year.

Wait, wait, wait... so you are counting the Lakers 4-2 Finals loss to the Celtics in '08 as part of an "almost 3-peat"? The Finals series they never led and were down 2-0 and 3-1 before losing 4-2? They lost game 6 of that series 131-92!



GTFO outta here with that bullshit.

Oh, this is where you prop up Odom as a star to meet your narrative.

Oh wait, big Z and Wally made all-star teams and Odom never did.

Radmanovic and Fisher filling out the starting 5.

Sasha, Luke, Farmar, Turiaf off the bench.

Stacked, amirite?

Kobe had the worst roster in the history of any team that made three straight finals and won two.

That doesn't even include KG emasculating Pau in 08.

And coaching is absolutely irrelevant with Bran ball.

Ridiculous to suggest otherwise.

Bran ball is loser ball and only prevails with super teams in a historically weak conference and the help of the league.

Bynum and Ariza injured.

Oh nevermind, they're only included as great players when Kobe wins.

If he loses without them, they're pathetic role players.

Lmao at acting like 08 Wally and Big Z were stars. Pau shits on anyone on the Cavs roster besides LeBron. Why are we avoiding that?

Always an excuse.

Can never come to terms with the glaring failures.

You're long winded like a woman gossipping on the phone.

LeExcuse.

KD failed or did he blow his leg out?

End thread

KD failed or did he blow his leg out?

The Rockets most likely would have made the finals if Cp3 did not go down for G6 and G7 last year.

[SpaceJam]

Kobe nearly 3peated TWICE?

You mean going down 4-2 to Boston in 2008

Beating an Orlando Magic team with an recovering from injury all-star in 2009 (KG also was injured for the playoffs, so major asterisk)

Naturally getting gifted a FMVP that should have gone to Pau Gasol just because he was the media's golden boy in 2010

Swept as well as outplayed by Jason Terry in 2011

I'm trying to find that nearly 3peat

Relevance?

Bron stans going crazy. Lol at anyone not thinking it isn't nearly a 3peat. He made the finals then won the next two in a row including a redemption ring against the same team he previously lost to. Haters on here act like Kobe didn't tear up the league in 08. It's a shame that he brought a cast so below average that literally 2 basic role players was the difference in the finals. Celtics overall handled the series but there were plenty of times the Lakers could of took control if the roster outside of Kobe and Pau weren't trash. Ariza for sure would of made a difference. Bynum just for his fouls would of made a difference. Kobe the only one that would show up in Boston in both series.

[Prometheus]

Shaq dragged your hero bricking and screaming to 3 rings. Show some respect.

Shaq very openly admits that he wouldn't have won shit without Kobe. And although O'Neal's numbers look dramatically better in the Finals, Kobe was out-performing him in the Western conference playoffs (where the real competition was).

You don't really know anything about that era. You simply piggyback on false narratives, which is a very disingenuous and cowardly thing to do. I wonder if you idolize players with the same character deficiencies.

Kobe > Bran, always and forever.

[Andrei89]

Relevance?

Well you imply that KD failed to threepeat because he got injured.

Well Cp3 also got injured last year. Had Cp3 stayed healthy KD wouldn't even have the opportunity to threepeat this year even healthy.

Do I have to spoon feed you like a baby? Ever done some thinking?
