This is a revelation actually; Kevin Martin has been an All-NBA snub this entire time
The lengths people will go to in order to muddy the legacy of the greatest SG to have never used PEDs.
T-Mac? Bitches, please.
Pulled straight from from Wikipedia:
T-Mac:
NBA Most Improved Player (2001)
7× NBA All-Star (2001–2007)
2× NBA Scoring Champion (2003–2004)
2× All-NBA First Team (2002–2003)
3× All-NBA Second Team (2001, 2004, 2007)
2× All-NBA Third Team (2005, 2008)
Kobe:
5× NBA Champion (2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010)
2× NBA Finals MVP (2009–2010)
NBA Most Valuable Player (2008)
14× NBA All-Star (1998, 2000–2012)
2× NBA scoring champion (2006–2007)
9× All-NBA First Team (2002–2004, 2006–2011)
2× All-NBA Second Team (2000–2001)
2× All-NBA Third Team (1999, 2005)
9× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2000, 2003–2004, 2006–2011)
3× NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2001–2002, 2012)
NBA All-Rookie Second Team (1997)
4× NBA All-Star Game MVP (2002, 2007, 2009, 2011)
NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion (1997)
Naismith Prep Player of the Year (1996)
That's not including a TON of other records, accomplishments and/or career highlights... (ie - 81, Olympic Gold, avg 40 for a month, etc.)
Kobe might have given up on playing defense years ago, but he was a legit elite defender once upon a time. T-Mac will forever be remembered only as a one-dimensional player. A gunner with the ultimate green light who never won a single playoff series in his prime. And even in the one area that T-Mac was great at, offense, Kobe was simply better.
So gtfo out with that T-Mac bullshit.

Its 2012 and we are in the middle of the playoffs and Lakers-age is shitting up the thread by beating us over the head with Kobe's "legacy"?
Sounds about right.
Sounds about right.
Fuck you guys. I'm a little distracted and can't read every fucking post you know.

If Tmac played with Alonzo Mourning or Tim Duncan he would have gone to three straight finals in Orlando.

Haha.
TMac/Alonzo would have lost to the Shaq/Kobe Lakers and the Duncan/Spurs.
The fact that a prime T-Mac, in his prime, couldn't pull out a single series win in his prime, in the weak as fuck EAST, while in his prime... supports my statement. PRIME.

Man Dennis Rodman is on OTL. Pretty sad seeing his struggles with drinking.
A mod needs to change your username to Silky Johnson.

We can all agree with one thing T-Mac beats Kobe in. Adidas signature shoes.

The 02-03 Magic were worse than the 04-05 or 05-06 Lakers, and that was before Grant Hill got injured. Imagine looking down the bench and knowing you had to depend on Drew Gooden and Gordon Giricek.

What the fuck does the playoffs have to do with the regular season?
I'm relieved, without him, they'd only have 8 other guys to brick 3s all day.

This faded, along with T-Mac. Every star at one point has been compared to Kobe, they were all worse, and now non-existent. Best SG of his generation.
I made one last night, that's as high as it goes for that difficulty, I think. There's higher tiers, but haven't found any yet, and my Jeweler can't make them.
It's low level damage reflection, stacks with your attack, but does not count towards your DPS.
Also, if this was posted, apologies.
Shit gets deeper.
Also, OKC in 6.

See this is exactly why OKC doesn't deserve to win. Shoot fans of other teams after a series wins and make light of national tragedies
sickening really

This Gondo backfire is sooooooo funny. Red Blaster was working the long con.
Not like this, Gondo. Not like this.

Yeah after the 3's it kind of went downhill for his line, and Kobe's Nike Huaraches just destroy all of them anyways.
C'mon man, Red Blaster has made several "bombers" jokes and never been banned. People who post a lot know what I'm talking about.
If he made a 9/11 joke he'd be gone before he could stealth edit his post.
Red Blaster's an ass, don't sink down to his level.
Take the high road.
Neither could Kobe until Pau came along.

hey man don't project your tacky jabs about the worst national tragedy pre 9/11 on me, I was merely ribbing you over a common stereotype related to the state of Oklahoma and then you fly off the handle and denigrate those 168 lives lost on that dark April day; why you gotta be so serious bro

I get it, but seeing the backlash go down is like poetry.
We already know that about RB, there's no reason to try to point it out by bringing up such a touchy subject. I get what you're trying to do, it's just unnecessary.
Why're you putting Henry in my corner? I've called his shit out as much as anyone.

I see nothing wrong with this list.
Oh, I just thought it was cool to clump all Portland fans together. You know.
