Yep and I'm the one who's trolling apparently. Even 29 drexler with that 25/7/7 line isn't better.

Kersey/Buck Williams >> Pau
They couldn't even beat a Bad Boys team on the decline.
Stop with the fables.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
Yeah but he was better than Kobe..
Yeah, but I don't think that's what's the point here. You said Kobe would be #2 or #3 on the Dream Team, but is that in term of importance to that particular team, or just on an all time list?
For instance, on the current team, Tyson's ranking would be pretty low on an all time list, but for the team, he ranks high because he is a necessity due to being the only real center on it.
Kobe has chipped 5 times, shit is not by luck man.
And not being as good as Jordan doesn't mean he isn't as good or better than Kobe.

Did you just say Buck Williams was better than Pau
lolololololololllol can't wait to use that quote next season

Playing with one of greatest centers in his prime while he gave a fuck is pretty lucky.. Kobe would have chipped without him but not 5 times..
judging by his finals performances it is
i'm sorry im just still so baffled by the Malone just shot jumpers in his prime comment

6-24
Are we ignoring Lamar's contributions now?
People confusing the career with the player...
Kobe's career has been great. And if he actually played as smart as he's capable of, then yeah, he'd be fucking god-tier 24/7. But he doesn't.
Worst Game 7 ever.

Keep dreaming, you know it's not true either you're trying to rile people up.
Now I understand your question... no it was just an all-time list comparison of that 92 roster, not by position.

Even that is laughable..

Was it luck when he swept Utar, thereby indirectly ending BoozIR, Deron and Sloan's time there?
Was that luck too?
Gotcha.
That was fucking horrible. I remember cussing Kobe through the TV screen, kept on chucking and chucking. He was good on the boards though atleast, and got to the FT line at the end.

Lamar was horribly inconsistent during both those title runs, man.
FFS, ARTEST WON GAME 7 FOR US!
Stop rewriting history.

Yeah I dream of Drexler being better than Kobe.. I hated Portland as a kid..
Kobe was a better pure scorer in his prime..
Cylde player every other faucet of the game better..
I'm the one rewriting history? Man, Lakers-fans are harsh towards ex-Lakers.

Yes it was game 7 but it was one game of a 7 game series... he played well in the majority of the rest of that series, look at the numbers.
If only he knew how to dribble!

Pau would cry all the way back to Barcelona if he was playing in the 90s. He wouldn't last a season in the league.
Blackace

Not really.. He played ok. But not what you expect from a superstar HoFer which he is..
But to be fair LBJ scored 9 points in the finals once 2 years ago

Kobe was one of the best volume scorers at a time where it benefited him the most, meaning rules amplified his greatest asset and played along side players who made it easier for him to do his thing.
Right place, right time in many ways. Still one of the greatest with those things aside.

Lamar was horribly inconsistent. Laker fans complained about that shit when he was here.
If that fucker had showed up for the entire series, no fucking way that 2010 series goes 7.
No fucking way.
And who can forget Pau's disappearing act in Game 5.
Ball in front! Use those finger tips Clyde! Forward motion!

Wow, DY.
Do the Lakers win Game 7 without Artest being the only one keeping them in the game?
Y/N?
Blackace

Without a doubt!
And yet Kobe gets a pass for those three shit games he put up? And whatever the fuck it was he did in '08?
If you are going trot out CONSISTENCY, you can't be ball-washing Kobe at the same time.

Swept bro.
Swept and the team subsequently fell apart.
Even Rafer Alston got a game from the Lakers in the playoffs.
Artest kept them in the game now?
Shit, I could've sworn you guys told me for years that it was Pau's toughness and grit on the boards that won them the game and not the fact that Boston was gimped in the frontcourt or because of some horrendous officiating that leads to shooting 40 fts when your team couldn't even take it inside most of the game.
But now that you want to sound like you got a point to make with Artest, WHY THE FUCK NOT
Pau with a 20/20 game with great defense?
Pretty sure he adv 30/5/5 vs the magic in the finals, but 6-24 is the only thing we remember.
let's not talk about Kobe and getting swept, mmkay?
oh no trust me, i remember lots more than that
