"Kobe Bryant's the best player I've ever seen other than Michael Jordan."

Commit suitcase? That's some autocorrect.

As an unbiased observer, Griff is getting ragdolled pretty hard ITT by Rob.

No applicable 80s movie gif in your post. I win.

That's true, I concede defeat.

You always do.

birds rings aren't even that great. i mean at least kobe has 4 where he was the best player in the toughest series his teams had to go through

and the only one he wasn't kobe led the lakers in points, rebounds, assists, blocks in game 7 vs the blazers in 2000


bird on the other hand was massively outperformed in the 1981 finals by a role player teammate of his

then in 1986 kevin mchale averaged 26ppg/9reb/3blocks on 57%fgs while bird averaged 24points/9 assists on 48%fgs in a playoff run where they faced chicago, milwaukee, atlanta and houston


its arguable bird was only a 1 time TRUE finals mvp


kobe dominated the TRUE finals or saved shaqs ass every time




then when you factor in all 3 of birds rings came with 5-6 other hall of famers and 2 of kobes came with just 1 borderline HOF'r and scrubs/role players/babies/junkies ... then its not even close

[kennethgriffin24]

imagine kobe in the 80s with Kevin Mchale, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parish, Cedric Maxwell, Bill Walton, Nate tiny Archibald, danny ainge,


instead of gasol, sasha vujacic, jordan farmar, derek fisher, lamar odumb, 19 year old 6ppg bynum, dj mbenga, luke walton lmao

i bet kobe gets more than 3 rings

Actually it's a rarity when I lose, this is probably the first time. I'm not use to it like you are. I think your losing ways is starting to rub off onto me from interacting with you too much.

Extremely edgy take by the Chuckster.

When Chuck said this, it was in the perspective of the guys that he actually played against. That's why he stated what he did about LeBron.

This is true.

I mean there's no logical way a guy like Larry Bird is beating these teams in the Finals...

- Reggie Miller, Jalen Rose and Austin Croshere? NOPE!
- Allen Iverson, Dikembe and Aaron McKie? NO CHANCE!
- Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin and Keith Van Horn? FUCK NO!!!
- Dwight Howard, Hedo Turkoglu and Rashard Lewis? NAH AINT HAPPENING!

Larry Bird needed 9 HOF teammates just to carry his ass by the sorry ass 76ers.

[kennethgriffin24]

oh yeah and the one team kobe didn't end up beating had Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace, Rasheed wallace, teyshaun prince and richard hamilton. and kobe was coming back from shoulder/knee problems and going through a rape trial

[elmerjfudd]

Charles Barkley took Allen Iverson first in an all-time draft event.
