Without those legal issues kobe would been MVP or runner up and could of saved his legs more for the finals ....games 3 4 and 5 I just felt he wasn't getting the lift in his shot to be amazing
On the flip side, the fact that he managed to make All NBA First Team and All Defensive First Team that year despite tremendous adversity is very impressive because it required a lot resilience and perseverance.
@@franklinyi6934Yea Kobe was pissed Shaq came in out of shape not ready to 4peat & he used the season to recover from his "toe thing" . But Kobe did injure his shoulder on that famous dunk vs the twolves in 03 playoffs & it followed him into the 04 season.
@@jaycarlos3559TBH people only remember the 04 Lakers for losing to Detroit & Kobe drama. Prior to Malone getting injured during the regular season the Lakers were 18-2. Then the injuries started piling on, only GP outta that big 4 played all 82 games. Even Kobe had injuries during that year. Even without the legal issues & off court drama , Kobe wasn't going to win MVP in 04 because he wasn't healthy until the second half of the season.
Weird I didn't get a notification for you past 3 videos that are not about Kobe I thought you haven't posted since the mod rang pull up video but I got a notification for this one.
