Wad Jay back then there was a talk that it's because of shaq that kobe was shining, outside and in the league..people don't understand why kobe did not wanna play with shaq anymore, but that's just being competitive. He had to win without shaq or his legacy wouldn't have been what it is, people would forever say he only won cause of shaq dominance in the finals, but he proved them wrong...to the point he beat a 3 hall of famer plus an allstar team in 2010, without shaq.

Paul Pierce doesn't get enough credit he scored over 20 points per game most seasons and was one of the most clutch players to ever play the game. He pretty much has it all on his resume. He has won a championship, great stats, made a bunch of game winning shots in the playoffs and a great defensive player.

@kkkkkk9671 5 лет назад

Because when he was retiring he was wanting kobe like treatment when he's not really deserving of that. Then he disrespects LeBron by saying he wouldnt of won those title in Miami if we was in my prime but yet when LeBron had no help in Cleveland when Pierce was the n his prime he still forced them too 7 games with the Celtics big 3 then a former member of that team Ray Allen who won a title with him left and he still pretty about it 5 years later and then once Draymond called him out about that farwell tour he was expecting but didn't get he always trying to hype himself up that's why people don't like him

@JusRed23 5 лет назад

I think it's easy for people to forget how good certain players were. Same thing happens with Barkley.

@angrysam5361 4 года назад

TMac: 2:13 "Thankyou Kobe for giving me my roses while Im still here - and not waiting till the funeral" quote has a different ring to it now. Almost like Kobe knew he was going and decided to hand out roses to all his basketball friends before he went.

@powderp5267 4 года назад

What he meant by roses was respect and the fact that Kobe acknowledged him in his book.

@angrysam5361 4 года назад

@@powderp5267 ummm yeah of course - but also that it was rare for him to give compliments and so TMac was saying as a joke thank you for giving the praise now instead of just as a eulogy at his funeral. Like I said - almost like Kobe decided to give out all the Eulogies to his basketball friends before he himself departed.

they are all great players but what made the difference was the consistency. Kobe maintained consistency all through his career. He kept on improving except the last years because of the injury. The Growth mindset he had was unbelievable and it is something that we can all learn from

@idelva 5 лет назад

Lebron knows his own strengths and weakness, why would he try and go one on one with Kobe? I always said that the reason why lebron won most of the match ups against Kobe is because lebron was smarter. Kobe played him like he had somethin to prove while lebron would just play his game which almost always resulted in a win and more points and better stats all across the board

@vangxiong9643 5 лет назад

@@idelva Thanks for admitting lebron is not that good at basketball lol

@itzsanchez93 5 лет назад

idelva Lebron is not smarter than Kobe ok. They are both smart high Iq players. Kobe stated that he takes it upon himself to guard lebron because in his mind he would be disrespecting lebron’s greatness. Lebron on the other hand just straight up doesn’t have the footwork mid range j and fundamentals. Not to say he is bad but Kobe is the most fundamentally sound player ever.

@idelva 5 лет назад

Vang Xiong you don’t have to be a phenomenal scorer to be good at basketball. There’s more to it than that, Kobe is a better one on one scorer while lebron find different ways to score. Kobe is great
