Wouldn't even make the team.

lol okay that's not true.... he would have filled Christian Laettner's role nicely.

Gud jab.

 

[Blackace]

That was almost as dumb as saying Bosh and LMA were better than Malone and Barkley.

Almost.

Bosh and LMA are better at getting to the rim than the mailman... Dying over here

 

[pilonv1]

People forget that defense in the early 90s was like today defense on LeBron levels of HGH.

So when you ask "who would guard Westbrook", remember that these guys would probably not be scoring they way they do now.

It's a stupid argument.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

It's not close and Pippen was better

That's not true and you know it. Pip wasn't better. Defense sure, everything else was on Kobe's side.

 

[Mothman91]

fixed.

Your avatar is still the best Kado.

Here's a gem from the chat:

[18:20] Pimpwerx: there's no forward in the past that had bosh's skillset

Also, Stockton wasn't a good defender and Wade is almost as good defensively as Pippen.

I sometimes miss the good old days of hand checking.

Why do you guys even respond to Heavy's blatant troll posts?

And players stepped up and wanted to take the best players.. GP wanted MJ.. Pippen wanted GP nobody hid

 

[DY_nasty]

Matchups:
Jimmer - Kemba
T-Rob - MKG
Whiteside - Biyombo

Orlando Summer League ain't got shit on this.

Kemba and streetball go together like Lebron and doubled up headbands

thx brah. cant stand that herpes infested motherfucker

Why do you guys even respond to Heavy's blatant troll posts?

he aint trollin if he believes its the truth.

 

[Bowser]

Heavy's always trolling the Wrasslin' thread, so of course he's a Kobe troll in the NBA thread.

 

[Blackace]

Wade was scared to mark Westbrook...

Bosh is aiight and everything but really?

There has to be a way to amnesty and future endeavor him.

 

[pilonv1]

I sometimes miss the good old days of hand checking.

I'd love to see guys like Westbrook, Wade or LeBron try and get into the paint of some old Pistons or Knicks teams. Would get brutalised.

 

[Terry Crews]

Cavs have the most exciting and up and coming summer league team out of them all to watch. Really pumped to watch.

 

[reilo]

Wade was scared to mark Westbrook...

Nobody had Bosh's skillset. Nobody.

Except Clifford Robinson. That dude could ball.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

How am I trolling? Nothing I'm saying is ridiculous enough to even be considered trolling. You're looking at Kobe now and doing the comparisons rather than his utmost prime, and the nostalgia is propping up the past.

 

[Blackace]

fixed.

Konex is classy like Kobe he would just throw Pau under the bus

 

[darkside31337]

I don't even understand why everybody is trying to compare this team to the Dream Team. This team isn't even as good as the team in 08 (due to injuries and old guys being old basically).

No we really aren't...

Who would Lakers-age amnesty? Heavy or Puddles???

 

[Emwitus]

It's not close and Pippen was better

haha only Lebron would come out alive.

Wade lol wheelchair bound the rest of his life. I can see Oakley or Mason just destroying him.

The team in 96 IMO is super underrated.. I also like 94

2008... Remember when people still thought Kobe was the best player in the league?

:lol

I've been saying that! Shaq and Olajuwon? Pippen and GP? hnng

KD would be dead before the first TV timeout.

KD would be dead before the first TV timeout.

Harden would flop straight onto a stretcher.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

indicative that he was at one point.
check and mate.

how about prime Grant Hill. Unstoppable.

 

[DY_nasty]

Harden would flop straight onto a stretcher.

Kevin Love vs Malone

taking candy from a baby? or worse?

 

[thekad]

Nah, that's just what many people thought.

Even though he ran into KG and lost.

 

[Matrix]

I remember being depressed as a kid when Olajuwon couldn't play on the 92 team. The dumb 12 year old version of me had no clue he wasn't a US citizen yet.

 

[Blackace]

I've been saying that! Shaq and Olajuwon? Pippen and GP? hnng

With prime Grant?

Dream Team II styled too hard in Fiba so they disbanded them... But Shaq, ZO and Kemp...

 

[reilo]

Kevin Love vs Malone

taking candy from a baby? or worse?

The old guys never seen a power-forward that could make a three before.

...

We could turn this into an Eminem parody song before the hour is over.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

KD would be dead before the first TV timeout.

KD would get beat down but I think he would stay tough. Just my opinion.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Nah, that's just what many people thought.

scola ran into fisher and lost too, iirc.

 

[linsivvi]

Heavy and Konex are Kobe age. It's a separate entity so we don't really need to amnesty them.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

92' roster with ages. This is a rough, quick ranking of the roster based on their age and their stats in the Olympics.

1. MJ - 29
2. Barkley -29
3. Pippen - 26
4. Malone - 29
5. Admiral - 27
6. Stockton - 30
7. Ewing - 30
8. Drexler - 30
9. Mullin - 29
10. Magic - 32
11. Bird - 35
12. Laettner - 22

Now tell me how PRIME Kobe wouldn't be, at minimum, #3 on that team? Probably 2. I took the time to compile the list and find the ages (was on some ancient angelfire website) so I want a legit reply, not Heavy is a troll lolol stuff.

 

[Blackace]

KD would get beat down but I think he would stay tough. Just my opinion.

KD stopped going to the hole last season... He wouldn't come near the key in the 90s

 

[thekad]

In 1992, Clyde Drexler lead his team to the NBA Finals while averaging 25PTS/7REB/7AST. Grandpa Kobe couldn't even get out of the second round with Pau and Bynum.

 

[DY_nasty]

KD would get beat down but I think he would stay tough. Just my opinion.

I can really see Charles Oakley or Rodman hitting KD with a backbreaker like Jax - just leaving him sprawled out and broken at halfcourt next to the aftermath of the Deron Williams/John Stockton matchup.

 

[pilonv1]

In 1992, Clyde Drexler lead his team to the NBA Finals while averaging 25PTS/7REB/7AST.

BUT LEBRON IS BIGGER FASTER STRONGER WHO WOULD MATCH HIS ATHLETICISM?!?!?

I see 6 players in the prime at that time better than Kobe in his prime...

MJ Bark Pippen Malone DRo Stock.. Also I think Drexler was better at getting to the cup, but that might be a wash.. So basically he would be the 6th or 7th best player on that team! But on the good side he could get drinks with Mullin!

 

[Barack Lesnar]

And Clyde was 30.

 

[Blackace]

And Clyde was 30.

And was still better than prime Kobe

 

[pilonv1]

Age isn't comparable either. These guys were coming into the league at 22-23 after 3-4 years of college. Guys at 29-30 now have an extra 4 years of NBA wear on them. Laettner was 22 and hadn't played an NBA game. Durant is 23 and has played 420+ if you take regular+playoff games.

It's not comparable and I wish the media would leave it alone.

 

[CrazyDogg77]

True that. He seems like he has some fight in him though.
