lol, that's always your go-to graphic. The 2001 "playoffs", not Finals. Despite that was arguably the worst Finals Kobe ever played & they swept everyone besides the 76ers for one game; in a series where Shaq completely outshined Kobe. The Kings series is the only reason those stats are even close & that's because Shaq had to deal with Webber & Divac, still put up 33 in the series & Kobe was being manned by Christie & Peja lol.
So yeah, I still firmly believe Melo could of walked on to that team & at least ran through 2001, maybe losing a couple more games, if that.
Iverson was regarded as a better player because people understood what I was talking about above. The privilege of your situation. Shaq was the man in LA, Kobe was the benefactor of that. Iverson was a one man show. It wasn't until LeBron came around & proclaimed the NBA his kingdom until angry, biased fans like yourself started throwing the "ring argument" into the conversation. But then contradict yourself when the hardware doesn't add up. Like how Duncan has more hardware. But that just goes to show that argument was created solely to defend Kobe over LeBron. Because that's literally the only time, outside of Jordan & those two, that it ever makes a difference in an argument comparing any two players.
Hack Wilson - real:
Kobe was literally 1 spot above being Darrell Armstrong status in 2000 when Shaq was unanimous MVP
yet NIK wants you to think Kobe was the better player ;D

SHAQ...all 3 years ;D
who won an MVP in that span? Shaq, not Kobe.
Kobe ws never close to being the 2nd best player in basketball to Shaq even - Iverson was. Duncan was.

shaq had seniority, obviously it was his team first.....but as far as skill goes, we talkin about the greatest duo in NBA history. despite shaq's seniority and kobe taking a back seat, his output still matched shaq's, which is an amazing feat in its own. just took a back-seat to feed shaq's tremendous ego and still put up 30 ppg, like godamn.......and how u guna take mvp voting into consideration? lmao. the fact that shaq was viewed as the head of the team means that kobe wasnt even in consideration for mvp during those years.. all them votes went to shaq....but u put kobe on the t-wolves instead of garnett, and those votes are goin to kobe,. its situational.......still shaq was already declaring kobe the best in the world by 2001 PLAYOFFS (after mvp voting took place)......and believe me, he wasnt alone in that.
Hack Wilson - real:
Jordan and Pippen is the best duo
