Kevin Garnett Wanted to Team Up w/ Kobe Before Boston | ALL THE SMOKE 

funny. when you add up the OVERALL ability of each individual. the 08-2010 Celtics were just plain and simple, better than any warriors team in history. idc what size of margin it is. Celtics are better. I would bet any amount that each and everyone of those warriors would've never been hall of famers If they were drafted on their own individual teams . ray, pierce, kg especually.... all hall of famers if retire in 07 on their own teams. add it to Tony Allen maybe the best perimeter defender ever? and rajon rondo who eventually would've probably carved out a hof career maybe not 1st ballot. kd obviously was 1st ballot already. iggy would've eventually made hof but not 1st ballot. curry wasn't far from exiting the league due to his ankle problems. let's face it guys like klay don't get recognition in the league he probably wouldn't have been given the proper chance(maybe only because his dad was the #1 pick and he won miltiple rings with the lakers)

ESPN is like the CNN of sports reporting! All these player podcasts are MUCH BETTER and insightful!

That's the absolute truth

Im forreal on a kick for sports podcasts they are more authentic

4 years later, I'm still re-watching the clips of it

That’s why he was pissed af when gasol said KG was done after game 1 he knew what was coming after that

Daniel Barwatt finals the second time

I cant imagine KG, Pierce, and Allen not being together.

What year did they play together on the All Star game ?

@Jaleel Og think you're discrediting Pau. I wouldn't have swapped him for KG

Koibito The Scrublord same doesn’t feel right , I always been a Bron fan but always have Kobe respect ..

I’m still waiting for the it’s fake news.

I don't even like watching his videos anymore...yet. I'm not ready.

For real

It's sad but it's life guys we all will die one day and That's ok.

Boston K.O. 🤣🤣 💯

Boston K.O. I'm trying to tell you 😂😂😂😭😭

Yeah, Especially since I’m from Beaumont lol. I also graduated with Stephen Jackson’s daughter too

Tx 409 🤘🏾

Boston K.O. He said he head butted him😂😂😂

That's a fact

He funny as hell

orrr he just was busy

@@TheIcemanthomas womp womp wommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmp

TBNV makes sense

TBNV yeah i think you are spot on with this. I don’t think he ever gets enough credit for the last two he won.

TBNV People still take shots at his legacy by saying he had Pau Gasol.

Any dude who can deal with Perkins, Garnett, Pierce and Allen deserves that respect

"NAH..IM FROM DETROIT..."

😂😂😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

EVER!

Hahaha

I get what he means but part of me thinks he’s purposefully ignoring how time zones work.

@@lijojohn7168 🤣 seriously though lol

Treycoyne12 that’s what I was saying. at least one of them would’ve been packaged in a trade 😂😂

🤫😂

Truth. They laughing like they was untouchable.. they were not. Hahaha

They wouldn't have. J-Rich, Al, and some other shit probably would have got it done. Baron, Jack, Barnes, Pietrus, Ticket. That's a good starting 5.

In those days Stax was a star. You'd need to keep him around. Matt, not so much but he was a good defender and held his own.

Nash must've known how bad his pitch was though. Like, that poor man, along with all kinds of players, deserve a ring for their troubles.

That's the one😂😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀

5:27😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

😂

They should have teamed up in 1999. Trade Shaq, I don't care. Garnett was past his absolute prime in 2007.

@@thsu8 You're smoking shit. Not crack, but shit. You would've been shot had you traded a prime Shaq for a young Garnett

@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 You understand chemistry, right? Garnett's selflessness would have taken a back seat to Kobe's alpha. KG's relentless intensity also meshes perfectly with Kobe's mamba mentality. Mutual respect. Perfect chemistry. No butting heads and ego clashes. 7 rings together.

@@thsu8 Hmmm, a three peat and 4 Finals appearances seems like amazing chemistry to me. And you're making your claim that's relying heavily on hindsight. So for the final time, you would've been shot trading a prime Shaq for (back then) first time All-NBA player and that's that

@@andreingramakadjscrewrip7372 Ok, so you've never played organized basketball and you don't understand chemistry.

First thing came to my mind lmao

Hahah hit the nail on the head

Plus the Height Minus the Crack

@@OlliWitta3 😭😭😭😭😭😭

RIP

kg a real one. he respects the greats

Yao used to kill him that’s why he better lol

@@truballa103 stop it

@back to Nature he is lmao

When is the timeline

🏀*#💯!*🚀!*

For what? He’s ass.

@@shudigg 🤔

Shudigg stfu

They gotta get drose on here

Paul Gasol?

​@@alikassa5437 who tf is PAUL?

Doc bruh!!!! ME TOOOOO!!!🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭

-6_elvis_i6_evils_6- 😂😂😂

He is equivalent to Mark Twain.

They do, but not on ESPN

Probably cuz they know Stephen A. and ESPN will twist their words into a narrative. This is real.

They don't wanna get Gilbert Arenas'd

Kobe slapped David stern in heaven for that

Jabrony take my like 😂

Disgusting that they allowed boogie to sign with Golden state

Right?? Damn shame they didn’t get together!! Would have been titles for days!! They would have picked up Pau anyway! That roster would have been ridiculous!!

Hated Matt Barnes when he played but he's intelligent both intellectually and street smart. Amazing.

The Lakers we’re already really good defensively around 2008-2010. Add KG and it’s an ez 3 peat.

nah man, Kobe would have 7 at least. KG is much better than Pao.

Jose Perales Kobe probably thought KG was too good to team up with. Pau was a really good player but he wasn’t an MVP caliber guy. Bean probably thought winning with Ticket would’ve been viewed similarly to winning with Shaq and he couldn’t have that. He needed to be the unquestioned man to solidify his legacy.

Gregory Hayes in 2011 they lost coach Phil Jackson and Kobe was injured so nah they wouldn’t get 7. Kobe never had good results without Phil sad to say. Need a good coach to do well in the league

@@supremeleem9488 I think they would have still won 3 together. Remember kobe lost in 2008 against the celtics. Had they had KG, Celtics wouldn't even have gotten that far. It could have been a 3peat rather than back to back.

well Gasol did it almost perfect

Waaben21 did you just compare Gasoline to KG!?!

@@TrestanSKYWALKR no he's just saying gasol is a better fit for kobe

AnotherSKYWALKR don’t be obtuse

AnotherSKYWALKR Gasol is a better fit cause he ain’t a Alpha

LMAO

tk my life is like a movie

Jay G you mean Jordans footwork

T Berg Kobe had a lil better footwork tbh

@@thumpmasterTRE its been stated kobe had the best footwork in the game even better then jordans.

Well even Kobe said about Pierce that his footwork was the best he ever played against. Soooo it's not that much of a stretch. I think Stack was just trying to give that man the credits he deserves, he knows and we all know Kobe was better

Best foot work and most missed shots

Uh, no. Not top 5

Nocturne.9 .Chopin that would have been a super stacked team no doubt!

Dream team...they would've won at least 70 games AND the title....at least 4 straight

So true Kobe did what he had to do to win he is and was never a selfish player he rewarded hard work like you said pau I say fisher Horry fox all players he trusted and worked real well with and they worked like he did people who say he was selfish just hate his greatness and not hurt their guy convo for best ever Kobe the 🐐

I do wonder what nash & KG would have been like if KG decided to come to Phoenix

Right?? Damn shame that they didn’t get together!! They probably get Pau anyway! Imagine that roster! Imagine the chemistry between Kobe and Kg! The intensity in those practices!! Pau was labeled as “soft” at certain points in 2008 and 2011 and 2012, and frankly played like it at times, even at times when the Lakers won. He DEFINITELY wouldn’t be “soft” if he had Kevin as a teammate!! Always motivating and pushing him to be better! I don’t even think it’s the “Kobe was in China” thing. It’s not his responsibility to keep track of those things. It’s the Lakers front office jobs! Jim Buss knew Garnett was in the market and he did NOTHING! Lmao! Damn Jim Buss! That whole Lakers franchise led by Jim Buss did hardly anything for Kobe after 2002. Had a chance to win so many more titles if they actually put the work in and brought people in. Kg in 2007 would have been titles for days! 2008, 2009, 2010, I believe they lose in 2011 because it’s almost impossible to 4 peat, but they win again in 2012. Damnit! We were robbed of one of the greatest duos ever! I hope there’s a parallel world or universe somewhere in which Kobe and Kg were teammates. Heck at that point I would rather they get together when they were younger! As soon as Shaq left in 04, the mvp Kg in his prime should come over!

😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂

Bruh 🤣 saw your comment as it happened 💀💀

DMX was successful but he fell of because of his drug addiction

@@MakaveliDior never said he wasn’t successful

Haha

😭😭😭😭

Kobe is not the type to team up with another superstar. He rather go up against Garnett. Plus the narrative would of been Kobe needed Shaq, and then KG, to win titles

he wanted to do it without another superstar after the Shaq years. the man averaged 30 7 and 5 in the playoffs and people were saying he was carried so he had to show that he could do it without a crazy team. and of course he did #rip #goat

He got Pau

@@LNOWLS86 Yeah right. So lamar odom and pau gasol were some no-names? LMAO. all due espect to Kobe, but he wanted to win. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind teaming up with anybody that he feels will help him win. BUT...Whatever reason why he did not connect with KG at that time, we will never know. Don't assume that it was some generic sport hero story that " hE dOEsNt wAnT tO bE wiTH aNoTHeR sUperStar ". You just made that shit up and its corny.

akattom garent is better than pau and lamar combined. and garnet is kobes rival out of west. he is not lebron james who team up with rivals like wade and bosh lmfao

Right

Stone cold
