I'm just saying that Kobe was not your regular second option ... you won't find many 2nd options who averaged 27 , 5 and 5 on a championship team ... so he deserved more credit for those titles than some of you give him ..
I don't think that we would have made it to the Finals these years and if you replace Kobe by let's say Ginobili in his prime .... do you think so ?

Maybe not, but with Lebron in his prime and Shaq in his prime I'd guess about 4 straight titles.

LMAO...LeBron doesn't have the outide game nor the clutch play to make a LeBron-Shaq duo even HALF as successful as the Kobe-Shaq 1-2 punch of the threepeat era. The inside-outside game was vital. Shaq clogged up the lane, where LeBron scores most his point...do you watch basketball, Shallow? Because you do seem like a knowledgeable person...just that you sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about in this instance, and a lot of the time when you argue against Kobe.

Money...Just the fact that they call him "Robin" goes to show how narrow-minded most of the peeps who post here are.

"And that includes leadership, teammate skills, things you get better at as you mature. Five, six years ago, he was off the charts athletically. Today he's still incredibly athletic but not as athletic as 26. When you look at the total package, yes, he's better now."
Everyone but NIK can see that Kobe wasn't always as good as he is now
And Hans, I've never been a Jay fan like that so I feel you...he just happens to be the guy that everyone is saying is the GOAT now

Of course Kobe is at (or near) the top of his game now...but regardless, he's been the best player in basketball for quite some time now. He just never got the hype Jordan did, but as far as basketball goes, NOBODY, not LeBron, not Nash, not Duncan...none of 'em have been as good as Kobe has been over the last decade.

kobe has one MVP in his career. meanwhile Nash and Lebron both have two over that time frame. not sure how you can say Kobe is the best player overthe last decade in that case.
oh and Kobe was NEVER the best player in the nba during the Shaq-Kobe era so at best Kobe has been the best Laker only since 2005.
