@@user-zb6cy1kt4x He said Kobe was the best in the league after G1 in San Antonio 2001 WCF, in his postgame press conference. The media wasn't listening. KB averaged 33, 7, and 7 that series. Shaq averaged 26 & 13... That's the only time that I remember him saying it.
My 1st time hearing Shaq say this, but I've been saying for years that he would ball during the playoffs but dominate in the finals. It always seemed to be planned because the west didn't have legit bigs to handle him. Look at Kobe's numbers...he was a beast!
Kobe was so much of dawg that he caused shaq to leave and grabbed 2 more rings. One more than Shaq. Which proves kobe didn't need shaq to get to the top of the mountain
@@simonbelmont548 and game three in that series Kobe was hurt and what happen? Lakers lost 100 - 91. I guess Kobe is kind of important to the team....eh?! Kobe was also slowed in the 4th game. SIX points at half and in foul trouble along with Shaq in the 2nd half...but then Kobe busted up ankle, no Shaq daddy against a pretty good Pacer team and you know the rest. Just stop it with the Kobe hate. Kobe can only be equaled not exceeded on the BBall court.
Of course it is a team sport and some teams have Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant and they are the direct reason no and if or butts as to why the team can have any success at all.
@SmedleyWarIsaRacket oh shut up. Kobe gets hurt and they lose 1 game so fucking what? What about when he's healthy and they lose anyways. It means squat . 15ppg in kobes' first ring. He averages 15 fucking points per game and all you can come up with is kobe got hurt once and they lost, really. At the end of the day kobe has zero Finals mvps when he played with Shaq and here's why.. 3-Peat NBA Finals averages: Shaq: 35.9 PPG - 15.2 RPG - 3.5 APG - 0.7 SPG - 2.9 BPG - 59.1% TS - 3 Finals MVPs Kobe: 22.0 PPG - 6.1 RPG - 5.1 APG - 1.3 SPG - 1.2 BPG - 50.8% TS - 0 Finals MVPs This matters in all-time discussions. Kobrick is fucking operated. Get the fuck over it.
Shaq could not shoot free throws to save his life but if you look over his career when he needed to make them in clutch situations more often then not Shaq would knock them down.
Man that’s fucking cap, Shaq saying that shit cuz the man is no longer around. Shaq was averaging like 36ppg and 18rpg while Kobe was avging 18ppg. Only finals you could maybe argue Kobe finals MVP was their last win but it was clearly Shaq.
@@JermaineSaundersUConnyou're just a hater, and no one cares what you think, you're not a basketball player, you're like the media, just put Kobe down, because Kobe was great
Guys, none of this back and forth matters. PHIL had a game plan, and that game plan was kobe you di your thing on defense. Like you always do. Him and rick fox doing their crazy defense shit. And than feed shaq down low for the easy 2
You know one thing I can tell you for a fact for all your LeBron fan that is something that Brian can never do if LeBron was to lose his best man he can never win you know why to be a winner you must be elite shooter he is not an elite shooter he can't shoot when he wants he can shoot from where he wants. Has the Lakers fan he needs to go back to where he belong this is Kobe's team he built a legacy for 20 years one team didn't have to start super team they didn't need to go join the super team Kobe X- MJ separated from the pack
Absolutely not lmao Shaq put up 38-16 and almost 3 blocks on absurd efficiency, arguably the most dominant finals performance we've ever seen. Kobe averaged 15-4-4 and missed a game from a fucked up ankle, not to mention the last 2 games he shot below 30% on 20+ shots lol
@@captainfalcon2878Reggie said out his own mouth they had no answer for shaq they only got confident when he fouled out but this was young 21 year old Kobe so nobody expected him to have this much confidence an perform that good in a serious situation like that it shocked Reggie an the pacers which is why Reggie said he’s the other cat mj is the blk cat but that game was when Kobe woke and became Kobe my favorite game as well it just woke Kobe up bruh
That's why Kobe is better than LeBron. Kobe never ran away in the big moments. The big moments are where you create your name. Superteams and stats don't count in the big moments. Number 2 behind Michael Jordan
@@rogermyles606 only clowns use that same lame ass diss🤦🏻♂️Jerry west was 1-7 in finals and is the fuckn logo so try again u lame🤡he’s won more than some of the top 75.. there’s a saying it goes,” It’s better to keep ur mouth shut and let people think ur stupid rather than open it and prove them right💯🤡
