Oh ok Gotcha. I agree Do you think he wins the same amount of rings if it's Ray Allen instead of Kobe? Ray in his prime. I say Ray in his prime because his prime is definitely a different Ray from the one we see now which is still good.
you've got a short memory, late game turnovers by Kobe cost the lakers 2 of their finals games last year.
Actually Sammy scratch the Ray Allen question. How many do you think Shaq would win with Kevin Martin. He's 20+ and efficient.
It could have been more than 3 bc Ray Allen wouldn't have gotten Shaq booted out of LA. The season Kevin Martin just had was amazing. This Martin would have gotten his too. His D wouldn't be a huge issue bc of Shaq's interior D. All of this is a moot point. Kobe was traded for Vlade. He got his and that's why he's the second best SG of our era..well most of ours.
Different teams, different Shaq. Plus Dallas got robbed bigtime in '06. Wade didn't even have to get touched to get to the line and he was at the line so often, he should've just built a house there.
There is definitely no denying that. That is why it was so sad to see him go out the way he did because in his prime he was a force.
True I don't think Ray and Shaq would have butted heads like Kobe and Shaq. I still don't think their whole feud was all Kobe though.
And take Kobe off that Laker team and LeBron off that Cav team. I am willing to bet every penny I have ever earned and ever will earn that the Lakers would get beat bad.
