Lol! I love how everyone gets angry at my comments. The haters must be Dallas Mavericks fans. Oh by the way dirk faked an illness in the 2011 NBA Finals while Mark Cuban wired $20,000 to David Stern for a manufactured paid off championship ring!
@MrAtheosRecords So you're calling a team that had the best record in the league last year a crappy team? You're ridiculous. One game doesn't mean anything. Bad teams beat good teams all the time. No one goes undefeated. This is professional sports and competition is fierce.
Are you saying that the Dallas Mavericks were a fierce team to play against the Miami Heat in the 2011 NBA Finals series without the help of David Stern and Mark Cuban $20,000? You're smoking again, Mr. Runner!
well if kg leave the timberwolfes sooner than 2007 maybe he won 2 or 3 nba titles and not just one he can't leave the timberwolfes because of loyalties issues too bad well kg atleast you won a 1 damn nba title unlike lebron who can't even win one hahaha
Chris Paul is the best, all-rounded point guard in the nba, Derrick Rose is amazing as well, but he's more of a scoring pg. Rondo is a good defender and go inside and score, he's getting better at his jumpshots, but can't compare with other point guards, D-Will is probably the only other point guard that can compare to CP, and ofcourse there's nash as well. But I'm talking about the young, elite point guards right now, I personally think CP is the best PG in the nba right now.
@fawwaz25 i think Rondo comes close to Paul. His court vision is underrated as hell. His defense is excellent and in those terms, I think he is better then Paul. Shooting? well Rondo is getting better, if you watch his 2011 summer mixtapes he is making jumpshots all over the place. Rose is a whole different story. He is a scoring PG, not a pure PG like Rondo, CP3 or Deron williams.
@muhammadumarJA Magic played in a dull era.Kobe's era was more talented.Magic wouldn't have won 5 rings in Kobe's era not unless he played with Kobe.Kobe is the greatest Laker ever but Magic is the best point guard ever.
@jason60152 a dull era?!? basketball historians call the 80's the best time in nba history. N you said it yourself magic was the best point guard of all time. kobe isnt even the best two guard of all time. in my eyes n im sure most ball heads would agree, the point guard position is more influential than the two spot. five rings n he didnt even get to finish his career...com on man magic >kobe all day. i even think he was the goat! yes better than mj...the man even beat aids!
@muhammadumarJA I said that Magic was the best point guard of all time but I think Chris Paul is gonna surpass him.Chris Paul is a freak of nature and has better defense then Magic and is just as good as Magic on offense.You see more great shooting guards winning rings then great point guards so I feel the shooting guard position is more influential then the PG position.Magic didn't have aids he had H.I.V lol but it's still good he beat the disease.Kobe is too athletic for Magic to be better.
@jason60152 there's a couple points of yours i'd like to destroy but im not even sure you meant them when you said them so im just going to skip ahead to the last one. "Kobe is too athletic for Magic to be better" seriously ?!? well in that case vince carter was the best ever n derrick rose is about to be the goat :S i threw up a little just joking about it...skill is the name of the game and magic had the most...nobody made their teammates better than magic n thats the true mark of greatness.
@muhammadumarJA You can never destroy me in debates.I win 99 percent of my debates.Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all time but he isn't better then Kobe as far as taking over a game.Derrick Rose is going to be like Steve Francis so he can never be the best point guard of all time till he can start getting his assist up.Magic can't take over a game like Kobe therefore Kobe is better.Magic needs a guy to get the ball in the rim.Kobe is like Michael Jordan so he takes over the game.
@jason60152 His teammates didn't play well, but Kobe didn't play that well either. His stats are lowest since 2000. Kobe is not 2nd all time. He's at most 5th.
@ClipChimp Kobe still averaged over 20 a game.So how didn't he play well.Don't blame Kobe for them getting swept.Name your 3 people besides Jordan that are better then Kobe?
@jason60152 He only played well game 1 (36 points). Game 2-4 he played bad (23pts,17pts,17pts). If Kobe was able to take over a game like Jordan, then the Lakers would've won at least game 2 and 3. Three players better than Kobe: Magic, Kareem, Larry. Though by the end of his career, Kobe will probably surpass Larry.
@ClipChimp Kobe was fighting through injuries though.Give the man a break.Kobe gonna pass Magic and Kareem when he wins another ring.He still got a lot of basketball left in him.
@jason60152 the only way i see kobe winning another ring is if he gets dwight howard, and if that happens i will have lost all faith in humanity, and by the way he would be tied with kareem with 6 rings
@RagTagIKE Kobe don't need Dwight Howard.If Kobe can get Chris Paul they can win it all.Kobe still is better then Kareem with or without the ring.Even Shaq said that Kobe was the best Laker ever!
@RagTagIKE That is why the Celtics want Chris Paul and want to get rid of Rondo.Derrick Rose need to get his assist up if he want to be the best point guard.Steve Nash is better then D Will.
@jason60152 Celts are NOT getting rid of Rondo. INFACT, they are trying to build around him now. Ainge, the GM of the celts said himself, "Im not trading him he is too important for us". Who the hell is Rose suppose to pass it too? they are the best defensive team in the NBA but Rose is the only person on the team who can score. apart from that he gets 7apg. that is pretty good for a scoring PG. Steve Nash better then Dwill? maybe its your opinion
@ScarButta Rose got a good team around him with Boozer and Deng.You talking like Rose is the only scorer.Even Noah averaged double digits.C'Mon man even Rose said it was his fault that they lost in the playoffs.
@jason60152 yea sure its a great team. but they lack a good offensive chemistry at the moment. They are good put Rose needs more help on offense. Deng, Boozer and Noah are key role players, but no pippens. there defensive is the best in my opinion. Boozer and Noah are good for grabbing boards and getting putbacks butt they can't be a second choice for scoring. Deng isn't going to be enough for an outside - midrange threat. they need one more player. They need a player who can put up 20+
@ScarButta Deng and Boozer almost averaged 20 pts a game, what r u talking about they need another player to average over 20.If Rose didn't shoot as much Boozer or Deng would average 20 a game easy.Rose needs to be more of a assister then a scorer and trust his teammates.Rose is like a Steve Francis or Stephon Marbury.Shoot first point guards.It is going to be hard for Rose to win a ring with the Heat in the East.
@jason60152 Rose is a great player I think we all agree with that, but he needs some type of support. I really think that they should sign Jamal Crawford, that would be a crazy backcourt, both players can drive inside, they can both dribble out their opponents, and they both got good jumpshots, well Crawford has a craazy jumper. Boozer didn't turn out to be what he was in Utah, but he's still very affective. I think that bulls should really pursue Jamal Crawford if they want a shot at the gold.
@fawwaz25 Boozer was pretty good last year.He averaged 17 pts a game and almost 10 rebounds.What r u talking about?Who would u get rid of to obtain Jamal Crawford wiseguy? I can easily say if the Lakers got Chris Paul they would win it all but u still can't get the players you want for free.So please enlighten me.
@jason6015 They need someone in the 2 spot, they got Kieth bogans, he can shoot alright and he's a good defender, but he's not gonna be able to help em, if chicago really wants to win they need a better player in the 2 spot. And Rose is a scoring guard, I don't think no one can change that, that's just how he plays, Jamal Crawford is a free agent if you did not know 'wiseguy' they can always sign him, and Crawford is willing to sign for less if it gets him a shot at the gold.
@fawwaz25 If the Bulls can get Jamal Crawford they would have the most balanced starting 5 in the whole league.Deng,Boozer,Noah,Rose,and Crawford would be scary.Only if the Bulls had a decent bench.
@fawwaz25 What do you mean Boozer and Noah averaged close to 20ppg? Boozer averaged 16ppg and Noah average 11ppg. As a team they averaged 98ppg (20th place in the league). Believe me I have just checked NBA.com and I am sure I am right. But what I am saying is true the Bulls absolutely need a SG who can shoot from outside. Rose already averages around 8 assists per game. He is a scorer not a passer I wouldn't really try to change his game to much I would rather get a SG like Rip Hamilton to help
@jason60152 i guess my new name is mr.1% because this is a clear "L" for you. magic cant take over a game like kobe ?!? please look up a little thing called "SHOW TIME". sports parallels life in many ways being a selfish player is a lot like being a selfish person...magic was a great score but he realized the power of charity. magic didnt need them to do anything but lay ups and hit open jumpers. a 6'9 point guard with the highest career dimes :/ even kobe would agree with me
@muhammadumarJA Your name is not Mr. 1% because you didn't defeat me yet.Magic could never average 30 points a game for a season.If Kobe is soo selfish then why does he got 5 rings and 7 trips?Kobe should have 7 rings right now and 4 finals mvp's.Kobe had better defense and a better jumper then Magic.The only thing Magic had better then Kobe was passes so how is Magic better?Kobe has better stats.Case Closed I win.NEXT!! TOO EASY.( KB24)
I know people keep saying KG is old now,but i ll take him on my knicks team,i just wish,Boston would trade him to my knicks.This guy can definitely change the Knicks defense with his intensity.
im from MIA and i dont hate Boston. they all play like a team and non average 20+ points. rajon rando is a great PG, Allen great shooter. i just dont ike KG.
@superbthesonofman well i am Celtics fan and it is natural for LA fans to hate KG and Boston but i am not that blind as most of the boston fans are to hate on Kobe or to say he's not a good player
@pandiev i feel the same way because i respect the game of basket ball and who ever exuds that same respect for it and also prove that he or she can play.
@jason60152 ever heard of Kareem, Magic, Bird, Dr J, Bill Russell, Karl Malone, Mosses Malone, Wilt, Oscar Robertson,Tim Duncan, Shaq and Hakeem Olajuwon??
@jason60152 Hmmm really, you think Kobe would have won with out Shaq...oo how did the lakers do first year with out Shaq??? They didn't even make the playoffs. Lakers right now has the highest payroll in the NBA so don't give me any kobe dont have any good teammates crap... smh Using rings to compare players... Bill Russell has 11...
@dannywuyue Bill Russell has 11 rings but the players now were better then back in the day.Kobe needed Shaq as much as Shaq needed Kobe but Kobe won 2 more rings without Shaq so what you gotta say about that?
@jason60152 wow you are a retard. Lakers has the highest pay roll in the NBA, Lakers is a super team built around Kobe, do you think Kobe can win without Bynum, Artest, Pau, Lamar bailing him out?? Holy shit this is not boxing winning championships are a team accomplishment! Magic has 5 championships and has 3 finals mvp.Larry bird is a 3 time champion with 3 times finals MVP both players are more accomplished then Kobe
@dannywuyue wow you are the stupidest person on earth!!Grab a gun and shoot yourself!!!!There is no I in team dooch bag!! You need 5 players on the court to win a ring stupid.I know that.Larry or Magic couldn't do it alone.Your arguement doesn't even make sense.Just because I like Kobe better then Larry Turd i'm stupid???? Hahahaha get a life moron!!!!!
@jason60152 I love how you just disproved yourself. You compare players by rings. Rings is a team accomplishment."You need 5 players on the court to wing a ring" . Yes dumbass thats the point I've been trying to make the whole time...
@dannywuyue But you started it with saying bird and magic is better then Kobe.you can't even compare because kobe is a shooting guard and bird and magic plays a different position.tell me a shooting guard besides jordan who is better than Kobe???? I thought so you can't you Kobe hater!!!!!!!
@jason60152 your the one that started saying Kobe is the 2nd greatest player ever. Kobe is my favourite player in the nba right now and he is in my opinion the second best shooting guard. Magic/Bird and Kareem were just better more efficiant players
@dannywuyue Well thats my opinion when I say Kobe is the second greatest player ever.You really can't compare guys from different generations anyway.You make it seem like Kobe isn't on the same level as a Bird/Magic or Kareem.
@jason60152 kobe could be the second greatest ever if he had won 5 rings with him as the leader. shaq was a dominant force for the lakers' first three peat and got 3 finals mvps as a result. they were triple teaming him in the paint and still couldnt stop him. kobe benefitted from that a lot, but still didnt do enough to earn an mvp back then. jordan has 6 finals mvps, magic has 3, duncan has 3, shaq has 3, then kareem, bird, willis reed, olajuwon, and kobe all with 2.
@jason60152 absolutely. the finals requires their best performance and it's the nba's biggest stage. i can't think of a better way to compare them. stats are great, but their number of rings and finals mvps are most important.
@jason60152 the regular season is fine for stats, but the finals is the whole point of the regular season. the only reason it is played is to get to the finals. the two best teams in 7 games. jordan wouldnt be the best ever without his finals credentials. thats what separates the all time greats from the guys who have great stats, like oscar robertson.
@pkil232 Well it isn't Kobe's fault for having Shaq.Kobe had to play Robin because Shaq was already the man when he went to the Lakers.So you can't fault Kobe for not winning finals MVP.Kobe took his team to the finals 4 straight times after Shaq left.
@jason60152 it wasnt kobes fault, but he cant honestly say he was the go to guy for those rings, because without shaq he couldnt get it done until gasol came along. the guys with more finals mvps than kobe were all the main guys on the team and took the lion's share of the workload.
@pkil232 Kobe took a lion's share of the work also.If it wasn't for Kobe Shaq would not get 3 rings.Magic had Kareem.Duncan had Parker.Everybody needs somebody.
@jason60152 how do you know shaq doesnt win a title without kobe? if they got rid of kobe and added someone like paul pierce, they probably still win a title or three. if the lakers dump shaq, they cant replace him and they may not win any titles at all.
@jason60152 no, im saying replace shaq or kobe during the threepeat lakers years and see what happens. obviously shaq was in the twilight of his career in boston, you cant compare today's shaq and shaq 10 years ago.
@jason60152 theres no way garnett was ever as dominant as shaq. i mean, that lakers team would still have to beat the spurs in the west, with both duncan and robinson, bruce bowen, sean elliott, etc. duncan and robinson couldnt handle shaq, but they couldve handled the smaller garnett, no problem.
@jason60152 the twolves played the spurs in the playoffs and only won a single game. bruce bowen was one of the best defenders of his era. i dont see the young lakers without shaq (remember, kobe only became a team leader a few years ago) beating a veteran, champion spurs team.
@pkil232 The Spurs was rebuilding with new stars like Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli.David Robinson retired after he won his ring.Plus KG was is his prime and Kobe would have adapted like King James if Shaq wasn't around.Gary Payton was one of the best defenders in his era but Jordan still shitted on him.Lakers would beat Spurs without Shaq and Kobe would take over and KG would play robin.
@jason60152 shaq was getting double or triple teams which left kobe open. KG wouldnt draw double or triple teams, leaving more people to guard kobe. kg wasnt the physical force that shaq was. there is NO WAY that lakers team wins three in a row without shaq. he's one of the ten best players of all time, no doubt, and arguably the most dominant big man the game has ever seen. there was literally no one who could guard him one on one in his prime.
@pkil232 KG is better then Duncan and Kobe is better then anybody on the Spurs roster.Kobe would have been putting up D Wade numbers like D Wade did in the finals where he won MVP and was averaging 40 pts.Shaq is best center all time no doubt but KG is the best power forward all time.KG has better free throw percentage then Shaq and better defense.I see the Lakers winning 4-3 in a tight finish.KG is unselfish so he wouldn't care if Kobe ball hogs.
@jason60152 shaq averaged more rebounds and more blocks over that time period than kg did. shaq was a better defender. kobe wouldnt put up 40 without shaq drawing double or triple teams. duncan also averaged more points and boards during that time than KG.
@pkil232 Ok Shaq had better defense then KG but Kobe doesn't need a dominant center to win rings.Pau Gasol replaced Shaq and Kobe won 2 more rings.Kobe was getting double teamed and averaged 35 pts a game without Shaq so what makes you think he couldn't do it then?
@jason60152 kobe needs an upper echelon big man to win rings, plain and simple. in the lakers threepeat, kobe was young and relied on shaq to do the majority of the work, which is why shaq won all 3 finals mvps. kobe matured and hit is prime when they won the next 2. kobe drew double teams but needed gasol AND bynum to beat the celtics. he couldnt get it done without two 7 footers in the lane as a veteran. what makes you think he couldve done it as a 21 year old?
@pkil232 Air Jordan had the killer instinct as a 21 year old so what makes you think Kobe couldn't take over?Kobe's game is the closest to Air Jordan's game.Even Jordan said so.Magic Johnson won a ring as a rookie so you can win a ring being young.The Lakers would still have Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones so that would lighten up Kobes workload.Nick Van Exel was Mr. Clutch and Eddie Jones was a threat so it evens out the playing field without Shaq.The team would be a lot more balanced and efficen
@jason60152 killer instincts dont mean shit unless you win. jordan didnt win a title til he was 27. magic won because he was on a team with a dominant center: kareem. however, magic became the best player in the finals, which is why i think hes a greater champion than kobe. he won the finals mvp in 1980. if you think nick van exel+eddie jones=shaquille oneal, you're retarded. shaq won those titles for LA in the early 00's.
@pkil232 Shaq couldn't win those titles without Kobe.Shaq always needed a Jordanesque player to win.Shaq needed D-Wade when he went to the Heat.Nick Van Exel+Eddie Jones+KG=Shaq and if you don't agree with that you're retarded
@jason60152 first of all, kobe isnt jordanesque. shaq was leaving his prime when he was with wade(also not jordanesque). he was 35 at that point probly already out of his prime. nick van exel was an all star once and eddie jones was an all star twice, both before the threepeat. the lakes already had van exel and jones so they can be taken out of your equation. so KG=shaq. i dont think so, and im a celtics fan. KG was 23 in '99, not in his prime. so non-prime KG=prime Shaq? youre crazy.
@pkil232 Kobe is the second best player in the history of basketball besides Air Jordan.Kobe in his prime is even better then Shaq in his prime.Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan.D-Wade is like Jordan too but not as much as Kobe.KG didn't need to be in his prime for the Lakers to win a ring.Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones had to leave when Shaq came because Shaq demanded the ball soo much and it affected they play.The Lakers would have been like the Celtics when they won the Championship with KG.
@jason60152 no he isnt. kobes not better than chamberlain, shaq, magic, et al. you think the lakers with van exel jones and kobe= pierce garnett and allen? 3 bonafide hall of famers = 1 HOFer and 2 guys with 3 all star appearances between them? youre showing obvious bias towards kobe. kobe, willis reed, kareem, bird, and olajuwon all have 2 finals mvps. shaq, duncan, and magic all have 3. jordan is the king with 6.
@pkil232 Kobe is better then Chamberlain.Chamberlain is overrated.Chamberlain's competition wasn't as good as Kobe's comp.Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones are hall of famers.What are you talking about?Kobe has more rings then Chamberlain,Shaq,Willis Reed,Kareem,Bird,Olajuwon and Duncan.Magic is tied with Kobe at 5 but Kobe has done more in his career then Magic.Kobe is better then Shaq because he can take over better then Shaq.Shaq has a terrible free throw percentage.
@jason60152 van exel and jones in the HOF?! are you insane?! their chances of being elected to the HOF are 1.7 and 1.3, respectively. kobe has more rings than some of those players, but shaq got 3 of those rings for him. the finals mvps show who led their team to championships. kobe's only done that twice.
@jason60152 Chamberlain is overrated? A 7ft1 monster who had a higher vertical jump than Jordan, ran track, played volleyball, and benched more pounds than Shaq. Yes Wilt was taller than most, but he would be even more overrated today, because the only 1 who could guard him is dwight and Dwight is only 6ft11. OOh Kobe has more rings than others. Rings is not the only thing that make you good. Plaus Kareem has more than Kobe, with 6. If rings are the debate than Bill Russell is the GOAT.
@TheMinnie45 Well if Chamberlain was in Kobes era then Chamberlain would be a good center but not great as he was back then.Chamberlain would never score 100 points in Kobes era.Chamberlain would be a 20/10 player.Rings isn't everything because Allen Iverson has no rings but he is the 3rd best player ever in NBA history.
@jason60152 Ima need you to know what im sayin. A 7ft1 track runner, with a higher jump than MJ, lifted 50 more pounds than Shaq, cant be better than a Dwight Howard? He may not average the 50 points, but he would be more dominant than a prime Shaq. Now ima need you to know the history of basketball, because you just said that A.I. is the 3rd best in NBA History. Please look up Magic, Bird, Shaq, Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Dr.J, Tim Duncan, Kobe, Dirk, look up those guys and their stats
@TheMinnie45 Iverson had better stats then Dirk,Tim Duncan, and Dr.J.Oscar Robertson wouldn't average a triple double in this era.Ok I don't see Chamberlain being more powerful then Shaq.I don't see Chamberlain bullying Shaq in the paint.Where is it that he lifts more then Shaq and what does that got to do with endurance.What is temporary strength if you don't got endurance.
@jason60152 Stop acting like this era is just so tough. Yes this era is more advaced and has bettter technology, but this era is still weak. Ok lets look at A.I., Dr.J didnt play as long as A.i. did, and still has more points. Oscar was 6ft5, he is taller than most PG today including rondo, chris paul, A.i.,Nash,etc. So how couldnt he average a triple-double.Did you watch Wilt play?Wilt lead the league in assist, FG%, Points, Rebounds, Wilt was more domiant than Shaq
@TheMinnie45 The era back then it was kinda obvious who the champs where gonna be.The Lakers and Celtics had stacked teams and they was winning most of the championships.Dr J didn't even play a lot of seasons in the N.B.A. Iverson had more scoring titles then Dr.J. Magic was taller then Oscar and couldn't average a triple double.You forgot Nash is 6'3 and Chris Paul is a stronger point guard then Oscar.The point guards now a days are better then the point guards Oscar played against.
@jason60152 Ok but the same thing in this era the Lakers won 5 in this era, so the Lakers n Celtics will always contend for champs. Dr.J didnt play alot in the NBA, still changed the game and his numbers are better than A.I. O also did you know that Dr.J didnt have the 3point line? Magic is better than Oscar, but the fact that Magic never averaged a triple-double doesnt mean the era was harder, because Magic was pretty close. Kidd is shorter than Magic n he is the 2nd all-time Triple-double.
@TheMinnie45 How was Dr. j's stats better then A.I's when A.I led the league in scoring 4 times,averaged over 30 4 times,3x steal champion.Dr.J never averaged 30 in the N.B.A. A.I was a better scorer and had better defense then Dr. J. Dr. J was great and is a top 10 shooting guard of all time but give me Iverson anyday!!
@jason60152 Dr.J best years was in the ABA,he spent 5 years in the NBA, so yea with the type of streetball abilites A.I. have better numbers. But have you stop n look at how much the rules have changed for guards like A.I. No handchecking,3 seconds in the paint,3point line, and reaching fouls. They added these rules when Jordan left, so that guards could score more, so you may wonder why A.I. has these great numbers if you knew how the game has changed
@TheMinnie45 Nobody even averaged over 30 points last season so if you tell me the defense is getting better then with the no handchecking rule and etc.
@pkil232 true that Shaq was simply untameable all these young since 2006 Basketball fans never really watched the guy play. KG would still have put up his numbers against Duncan and Robinson the difference is though he wouldn't bring the team to collapse on him like Shaq did. I love KG but I'd take prime Shaq over anyone except maybe Jordan and a Chamberlain.
Finals were rigged

@muhammadumarJA I said that Magic was the best point guard of all time but I think Chris Paul is gonna surpass him.Chris Paul is a freak of nature and has better defense then Magic and is just as good as Magic on offense.You see more great shooting guards winning rings then great point guards so I feel the shooting guard position is more influential then the PG position.Magic didn't have aids he had H.I.V lol but it's still good he beat the disease.Kobe is too athletic for Magic to be better.

@jason60152 there's a couple points of yours i'd like to destroy but im not even sure you meant them when you said them so im just going to skip ahead to the last one. "Kobe is too athletic for Magic to be better" seriously ?!? well in that case vince carter was the best ever n derrick rose is about to be the goat :S i threw up a little just joking about it...skill is the name of the game and magic had the most...nobody made their teammates better than magic n thats the true mark of greatness.
muhammadumarJA 3 months ago
@muhammadumarJA You can never destroy me in debates.I win 99 percent of my debates.Vince Carter is the greatest dunker of all time but he isn't better then Kobe as far as taking over a game.Derrick Rose is going to be like Steve Francis so he can never be the best point guard of all time till he can start getting his assist up.Magic can't take over a game like Kobe therefore Kobe is better.Magic needs a guy to get the ball in the rim.Kobe is like Michael Jordan so he takes over the game.

@jason60152 He only played well game 1 (36 points). Game 2-4 he played bad (23pts,17pts,17pts). If Kobe was able to take over a game like Jordan, then the Lakers would've won at least game 2 and 3. Three players better than Kobe: Magic, Kareem, Larry. Though by the end of his career, Kobe will probably surpass Larry.

Who the hell is Rose suppose to pass it too? they are the best defensive team in the NBA but Rose is the only person on the team who can score. apart from that he gets 7apg. that is pretty good for a scoring PG. Steve Nash better then Dwill? maybe its your opinion

jason60152 2 months ago
@jason60152 yea sure its a great team. but they lack a good offensive chemistry at the moment. They are good put Rose needs more help on offense. Deng, Boozer and Noah are key role players, but no pippens. there defensive is the best in my opinion. Boozer and Noah are good for grabbing boards and getting putbacks butt they can't be a second choice for scoring. Deng isn't going to be enough for an outside - midrange threat. they need one more player. They need a player who can put up 20+
ScarButta 2 months ago
@ScarButta Deng and Boozer almost averaged 20 pts a game, what r u talking about they need another player to average over 20.If Rose didn't shoot as much Boozer or Deng would average 20 a game easy.Rose needs to be more of a assister then a scorer and trust his teammates.Rose is like a Steve Francis or Stephon Marbury.Shoot first point guards.It is going to be hard for Rose to win a ring with the Heat in the East.
jason60152 2 months ago
@jason60152 Rose is a great player I think we all agree with that, but he needs some type of support. I really think that they should sign Jamal Crawford, that would be a crazy backcourt, both players can drive inside, they can both dribble out their opponents, and they both got good jumpshots, well Crawford has a craazy jumper. Boozer didn't turn out to be what he was in Utah, but he's still very affective. I think that bulls should really pursue Jamal Crawford if they want a shot at the gold.

@fawwaz25 Boozer was pretty good last year.He averaged 17 pts a game and almost 10 rebounds.What r u talking about?Who would u get rid of to obtain Jamal Crawford wiseguy?

jason60152 2 months ago
@jason6015 They need someone in the 2 spot, they got Kieth bogans, he can shoot alright and he's a good defender, but he's not gonna be able to help em, if chicago really wants to win they need a better player in the 2 spot. And Rose is a scoring guard, I don't think no one can change that, that's just how he plays, Jamal Crawford is a free agent if you did not know 'wiseguy' they can always sign him, and Crawford is willing to sign for less if it gets him a shot at the gold.
fawwaz25 2 months ago
@fawwaz25 If the Bulls can get Jamal Crawford they would have the most balanced starting 5 in the whole league.Deng,Boozer,Noah,Rose,and Crawford would be scary.Only if the Bulls had a decent bench.
jason60152 2 months ago
@fawwaz25 What do you mean Boozer and Noah averaged close to 20ppg? Boozer averaged 16ppg and Noah average 11ppg. As a team they averaged 98ppg (20th place in the league). Believe me I have just checked NBA.com and I am sure I am right. But what I am saying is true the Bulls absolutely need a SG who can shoot from outside. Rose already averages around 8 assists per game. He is a scorer not a passer I wouldn't really try to change his game to much I would rather get a SG like Rip Hamilton to help

@jason60152 kobe could be the second greatest ever if he had won 5 rings with him as the leader. shaq was a dominant force for the lakers' first three peat and got 3 finals mvps as a result. they were triple teaming him in the paint and still couldnt stop him. kobe benefitted from that a lot, but still didnt do enough to earn an mvp back then. jordan has 6 finals mvps, magic has 3, duncan has 3, shaq has 3, then kareem, bird, willis reed, olajuwon, and kobe all with 2.

@jason60152 absolutely. the finals requires their best performance and it's the nba's biggest stage. i can't think of a better way to compare them. stats are great, but their number of rings and finals mvps are most important.
pkil232 4 months ago
@pkil232 Well I compare both regular season and playoffs and I got Kobe ahead of Shaq,Duncan,and Magic.
jason60152 4 months ago
@jason60152 the regular season is fine for stats, but the finals is the whole point of the regular season. the only reason it is played is to get to the finals. the two best teams in 7 games. jordan wouldnt be the best ever without his finals credentials. thats what separates the all time greats from the guys who have great stats, like oscar robertson.
pkil232 4 months ago
@pkil232 Well it isn't Kobe's fault for having Shaq.Kobe had to play Robin because Shaq was already the man when he went to the Lakers.So you can't fault Kobe for not winning finals MVP.Kobe took his team to the finals 4 straight times after Shaq left.
jason60152 4 months ago
@jason60152 it wasnt kobes fault, but he cant honestly say he was the go to guy for those rings, because without shaq he couldnt get it done until gasol came along. the guys with more finals mvps than kobe were all the main guys on the team and took the lion's share of the workload.
pkil232 4 months ago
@pkil232 Kobe took a lion's share of the work also.If it wasn't for Kobe Shaq would not get 3 rings.Magic had Kareem.Duncan had Parker.Everybody needs somebody.

@jason60152 how do you know shaq doesnt win a title without kobe? if they got rid of kobe and added someone like paul pierce, they probably still win a title or three. if the lakers dump shaq, they cant replace him and they may not win any titles at all.

@pkil232 They did replace Shaq with Pau Gasol.Paul Pierce isn't on Kobe's level.Shaq already played with Paul Pierce anyway and they lost.

jason60152 4 months ago
@jason60152 the twolves played the spurs in the playoffs and only won a single game. bruce bowen was one of the best defenders of his era. i dont see the young lakers without shaq (remember, kobe only became a team leader a few years ago) beating a veteran, champion spurs team.
pkil232 4 months ago
@pkil232 The Spurs was rebuilding with new stars like Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli.David Robinson retired after he won his ring.Plus KG was is his prime and Kobe would have adapted like King James if Shaq wasn't around.Gary Payton was one of the best defenders in his era but Jordan still shitted on him.Lakers would beat Spurs without Shaq and Kobe would take over and KG would play robin.
jason60152 4 months ago
@jason60152 shaq was getting double or triple teams which left kobe open. KG wouldnt draw double or triple teams, leaving more people to guard kobe. kg wasnt the physical force that shaq was. there is NO WAY that lakers team wins three in a row without shaq. he's one of the ten best players of all time, no doubt, and arguably the most dominant big man the game has ever seen. there was literally no one who could guard him one on one in his prime.
pkil232 3 months ago
@pkil232 KG is better then Duncan and Kobe is better then anybody on the Spurs roster.Kobe would have been putting up D Wade numbers like D Wade did in the finals where he won MVP and was averaging 40 pts.Shaq is best center all time no doubt but KG is the best power forward all time.KG has better free throw percentage then Shaq and better defense.I see the Lakers winning 4-3 in a tight finish.KG is unselfish so he wouldn't care if Kobe ball hogs.
jason60152 3 months ago
@jason60152 shaq averaged more rebounds and more blocks over that time period than kg did. shaq was a better defender. kobe wouldnt put up 40 without shaq drawing double or triple teams. duncan also averaged more points and boards during that time than KG.
pkil232 3 months ago
@pkil232 Ok Shaq had better defense then KG but Kobe doesn't need a dominant center to win rings.Pau Gasol replaced Shaq and Kobe won 2 more rings.Kobe was getting double teamed and averaged 35 pts a game without Shaq so what makes you think he couldn't do it then?
jason60152 3 months ago
@jason60152 kobe needs an upper echelon big man to win rings, plain and simple. in the lakers threepeat, kobe was young and relied on shaq to do the majority of the work, which is why shaq won all 3 finals mvps. kobe matured and hit is prime when they won the next 2. kobe drew double teams but needed gasol AND bynum to beat the celtics. he couldnt get it done without two 7 footers in the lane as a veteran. what makes you think he couldve done it as a 21 year old?
pkil232 3 months ago
@pkil232 Air Jordan had the killer instinct as a 21 year old so what makes you think Kobe couldn't take over?Kobe's game is the closest to Air Jordan's game.Even Jordan said so.Magic Johnson won a ring as a rookie so you can win a ring being young.The Lakers would still have Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones so that would lighten up Kobes workload.Nick Van Exel was Mr. Clutch and Eddie Jones was a threat so it evens out the playing field without Shaq.The team would be a lot more balanced and efficen
jason60152 3 months ago
@jason60152 killer instincts dont mean shit unless you win. jordan didnt win a title til he was 27. magic won because he was on a team with a dominant center: kareem. however, magic became the best player in the finals, which is why i think hes a greater champion than kobe. he won the finals mvp in 1980. if you think nick van exel+eddie jones=shaquille oneal, you're retarded. shaq won those titles for LA in the early 00's.
pkil232 3 months ago
@pkil232 Shaq couldn't win those titles without Kobe.Shaq always needed a Jordanesque player to win.Shaq needed D-Wade when he went to the Heat.Nick Van Exel+Eddie Jones+KG=Shaq and if you don't agree with that you're retarded
jason60152 3 months ago
@jason60152 first of all, kobe isnt jordanesque. shaq was leaving his prime when he was with wade(also not jordanesque). he was 35 at that point probly already out of his prime. nick van exel was an all star once and eddie jones was an all star twice, both before the threepeat. the lakes already had van exel and jones so they can be taken out of your equation. so KG=shaq. i dont think so, and im a celtics fan. KG was 23 in '99, not in his prime. so non-prime KG=prime Shaq? youre crazy.
pkil232 3 months ago
@pkil232 Kobe is the second best player in the history of basketball besides Air Jordan.Kobe in his prime is even better then Shaq in his prime.Kobe is the closest thing to Jordan.D-Wade is like Jordan too but not as much as Kobe.KG didn't need to be in his prime for the Lakers to win a ring.Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones had to leave when Shaq came because Shaq demanded the ball soo much and it affected they play.The Lakers would have been like the Celtics when they won the Championship with KG.

@pkil232 Kobe is better then Chamberlain.Chamberlain is overrated.Chamberlain's competition wasn't as good as Kobe's comp.Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones are hall of famers.What are you talking about?Kobe has more rings then Chamberlain,Shaq,Willis Reed,Kareem,Bird,Olajuwon and Duncan.Magic is tied with Kobe at 5 but Kobe has done more in his career then Magic.Kobe is better then Shaq because he can take over better then Shaq.Shaq has a terrible free throw percentage.
jason60152 3 months ago
@jason60152 van exel and jones in the HOF?! are you insane?! their chances of being elected to the HOF are 1.7 and 1.3, respectively. kobe has more rings than some of those players, but shaq got 3 of those rings for him. the finals mvps show who led their team to championships. kobe's only done that twice.

@jason60152 Chamberlain is overrated? A 7ft1 monster who had a higher vertical jump than Jordan, ran track, played volleyball, and benched more pounds than Shaq. Yes Wilt was taller than most, but he would be even more overrated today, because the only 1 who could guard him is dwight and Dwight is only 6ft11. OOh Kobe has more rings than others. Rings is not the only thing that make you good. Plaus Kareem has more than Kobe, with 6. If rings are the debate than Bill Russell is the GOAT.

@TheMinnie45 Well if Chamberlain was in Kobes era then Chamberlain would be a good center but not great as he was back then.Chamberlain would never score 100 points in Kobes era.Chamberlain would be a 20/10 player.Rings isn't everything because Allen Iverson has no rings but he is the 3rd best player ever in NBA history.

@jason60152 Ima need you to know what im sayin. A 7ft1 track runner, with a higher jump than MJ, lifted 50 more pounds than Shaq, cant be better than a Dwight Howard? He may not average the 50 points, but he would be more dominant than a prime Shaq. Now ima need you to know the history of basketball, because you just said that A.I. is the 3rd best in NBA History. Please look up Magic, Bird, Shaq, Jordan, Oscar Robertson, Dr.J, Tim Duncan, Kobe, Dirk, look up those guys and their stats

@TheMinnie45 Iverson had better stats then Dirk,Tim Duncan, and Dr.J.Oscar Robertson wouldn't average a triple double in this era.Ok I don't see Chamberlain being more powerful then Shaq.I don't see Chamberlain bullying Shaq in the paint.Where is it that he lifts more then Shaq and what does that got to do with endurance.What is temporary strength if you don't got endurance.

@jason60152 Stop acting like this era is just so tough. Yes this era is more advaced and has bettter technology, but this era is still weak. Ok lets look at A.I., Dr.J didnt play as long as A.i. did, and still has more points. Oscar was 6ft5, he is taller than most PG today including rondo, chris paul, A.i.,Nash,etc. So how couldnt he average a triple-double.Did you watch Wilt play?Wilt lead the league in assist, FG%, Points, Rebounds, Wilt was more domiant than Shaq
TheMinnie45 3 months ago
@TheMinnie45 The era back then it was kinda obvious who the champs where gonna be.The Lakers and Celtics had stacked teams and they was winning most of the championships.Dr J didn't even play a lot of seasons in the N.B.A. Iverson had more scoring titles then Dr.J. Magic was taller then Oscar and couldn't average a triple double.You forgot Nash is 6'3 and Chris Paul is a stronger point guard then Oscar.The point guards now a days are better then the point guards Oscar played against.
jason60152 3 months ago
@jason60152 Ok but the same thing in this era the Lakers won 5 in this era, so the Lakers n Celtics will always contend for champs. Dr.J didnt play alot in the NBA, still changed the game and his numbers are better than A.I. O also did you know that Dr.J didnt have the 3point line? Magic is better than Oscar, but the fact that Magic never averaged a triple-double doesnt mean the era was harder, because Magic was pretty close.

@TheMinnie45 How was Dr. j's stats better then A.I's when A.I led the league in scoring 4 times,averaged over 30 4 times,3x steal champion.Dr.J never averaged 30 in the N.B.A. A.I was a better scorer and had better defense then Dr. J. Dr. J was great and is a top 10 shooting guard of all time but give me Iverson anyday!!

@jason60152 Dr.J best years was in the ABA,he spent 5 years in the NBA, so yea with the type of streetball abilites A.I. have better numbers. But have you stop n look at how much the rules have changed for guards like A.I. No handchecking,3 seconds in the paint,3point line, and reaching fouls. They added these rules when Jordan left, so that guards could score more, so you may wonder why A.I. has these great numbers if you knew how the game has changed

@TheMinnie45 Nobody even averaged over 30 points last season so if you tell me the defense is getting better then with the no handchecking rule and etc.

@pkil232 true that Shaq was simply untameable all these young since 2006 Basketball fans never really watched the guy play. KG would still have put up his numbers against Duncan and Robinson the difference is though he wouldn't bring the team to collapse on him like Shaq did. I love KG but I'd take prime Shaq over anyone except maybe Jordan and a Chamberlain.

@jason60152 Shaq played with a 34 year old paul pierce , 2002-3 paul pierce i would say is as good as kobe bryant in any of his years.

@01shan001 Paul Pierce never averaged 30 pts for a season so none of his seasons was better then Kobe's 30 pt seasons.

Kevin Garnett speaks the truth. He is one the best players to play the game himself. Respect.
