22, 28 and 25
Shaq scored more PPG each year too
nice try though.
Allen Iverson said "that team starts and ends with Shaq".
Shaq was dropping 30 and grabbing 15 boards and you still think Kobe was the #1 on that team? that is lol worthy

in 02-03, he averaged 30 alongside shaq...somehow, i doubt MJ coulda done that. without shaq, it woulda been 40 ppg
again, the offense was ran through shaq, but kobe was not a "robin", it was a 1-2 punch, with both players being alpha males and both sharing leadership duties, depending on the match-up. with each passing year, it became more of kobe's team and less of shaq's. this is what had shaq trippin in the first place.

thats what the general public is made to believe, yes...but it doesnt make it true. if someone argued wilt, magic, kareem, russell, kobe, bird, etc. as the greatest, theres no problem with that. jordan was simply the most marketed and had the most backing by the league, so the push he got was kinda like kendrick getting a push from interscope. without that push, he'd still be a great, but no one would be on his nuts as hard as they are now. jordan is a brand. magic, kobe, bird etc were not brands. thats the main difference... of course, when u have that much behind u, ur guna be made to look unotuchable. people who could look past marketing can see that there are tons of players who have been the greatest at what they do, and none are the undisputed GOAT.

Wait a second... how the hell was Jordan a socio-path? That's bullshit!
(By the way, I don't think Kobe is either.. it's just I don't know as much about Kobe)

How many teams were in the league then? And do some reading, the Celtics had a near monopoly on top talent at the time

This nigga is going so deep into his "if" arguement, we got MJ in a Laker uniform. Stop playing that game because you're losing.
We got stats, the accolades and the approval of the coach who watched them both in their primes.
I love how NIK talks like Phil forgot Kobe played with Shaq and didn't factor that in.
