Stephen A. Smith thinks Mike D'Antoni owes Kobe Bryant a public apology for his disrespectful comments about Kobe being "a fan." I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING IN THIS VIDEO. FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY.
Jim Buss robbed us of a few more Lakers glory years. Maybe more Finals appearances. And maybe a Finals of Kobe vs Bron. Such a twat to hire D'Antoni and pair him with a Lakers team whose strength is in the post. RIP Kobe. You were and are the Lakers. #GOAT
Well said. I’ll add that he overpaid the hell out of an aging Nash who barely played for us. Garbage decision. Should’ve picked up a defensive guard so Kobe doesn’t have to check the young lions
@@eazybucketz_23 Actually, Jim Buss was running the show from the time Phil left (2011 therabouts). Kobe tore his achilles 2013. Bear in mind the Lakers were champions in 2010, and Kobe still had a lot in the tank at that point. He was different after the achilles for sure, but had he had better management, it's unlikely that Lakers demise would have been as drastic as it was, achilles tear or no achilles tear.
@@kelvinmutai5552 and also to add on to ur point he tore his Achilles bc he was tryna drag as trash team to the playoffs. He had too much load on his body and web he bursted to the lane *boom* i wish david stern didnt veto that cp3 trade but since then we had many chances to put kobe in another position to win another title smh
Thank you dantoni and Jim buss for literally robbing Kobe and basketball fans of championships if Phil Jackson had been hired we’d be having a very different convo about the goat
Phil was coach in 2011 when the lakers got swept by the Dallas Mavericks. In 2012 they lost in 5 to OKC. In 13 Kobe tore his Achilles. In 14 he tore his shoulder and in 15 he hurt his ankle. They didn’t bring in anybody that could carry the load along with him. The CP3 trade was awful they were gunna gut the team of their entire core for one player . Where’s the role players ?
@@moetoosmooth2741 Chris Paul undoubtedly would have been Kobe’s best teammate since Shaq. No question even into today he’s easily a top 15 player. They gifted Lamar Odom for nothing back. As this video highlights, Dantoni did not utilize Pau well enough. I’m sure with a little more smart moves, Kobe would have gotten back a good young core of players with Bynum as well, they could have gone back to the West Finals in 2012 or 14 had Kobe remained healthy.
Lakers management was such a circus show from the way they form the roster to Mike being the head coach instead of Phil Jackson for one last run. Should’ve had CP3 but once David Stern vetoed the trade that’s obviously messed up the team chemistry before the preseason. I mean Odom and Gasol were past their primes and CP3 was in his prime. Once Odom knew that he already wanted to be out of there and got traded to the clippers. Dwight was a clown coming off of back surgery and was the legit meme of just being there to make movies and be apart of the LA spot light. Kobe literally gave it his all when he shouldn’t have to. I miss you Mamba you’re my goat 🐐🐍
@AnEn front court dominance? Front court dominance wins ONE PLAYOFF GAME out of 12. What other front court dominance did kobe have other than Shaq? Tell me Bynum's averages in the finals. Stop talking out of ur stupid ass. Look at the talent lebron had, Wade & Bosh and Kyrie & Love. Tell me how many points per game Kyrie averaged in the finals 2016. Now compare that to Gasol in the Finals. Show me that front court DOMINANCE 🤣🤣🤣
@AnEn did Magic win without this front court dominance you speak of? Magic had Kareem. Bird had Parish and Mchale. Tell me a super star that didnt win without talent? Until then shut the fuck up
I swear dantoni ruined the lakers last good years with this bullshit he was doing with pau and kobe he did not know how to coach them at all Dwight Howard Kobe pau and u can’t get over 500? Crazy
@@nine3seven lmao did you really just use kids shooting a paper ball as a reason why Kobe is better. Just stop if you can’t come up with actual reasons. Duncan has more mvps and all defensive teams, finals mvp. But yea Kobe’s better cause kids say his name after they shot paper balls in the trash.
