If you've read any of his books, you know how much of a Kobe Bryant fan he is. I admire that he doesn't hold back on telling it like it is. NO ONE in the media is brave enough to do this!!! You can still love your favorite player and recognize some of the flaws they had.
there are a bunch of videos where he's blamed for it what are you talking about
Real Lakers fans knows Kobe threw that series only his fanboys make excuses for him
Nice Video! All was bad but none bigger than LBJ’s choke job in the Finals. He built a super team in a weak conference only to get beat by a inferior team. This, the super team building and the biggest knock: never building a dynasty, is the reason he could NEVER become the 🐐
Very interesting. These are high crimes and misdemeanors unworthy of a GOAT. That leaves a short list.
This is awesome and will end a lot of nonsense debates, we all know who the true goat is MJ.
Well jordan is the 🐐🐐🐐, I never questioned that
I feel that purposely assembling superteams is a major GOAT crime. That alone takes the guy out of the conversation. On top of that, the way he handled it was terrible. LBJ could have left the Cavs in a better situation if he just had told them in advance that he wouldn't come back. But he wanted to see other moves first in order to join the stronger team, and he left the Cavs in the water by doing so. See, he knew he wouldn't come back. The Cavs had no chance of retaining him
Just for the record I don't agree with the fact that LeBron James was accused of quitting in the 2010 NBA playoffs against the Boston Celtics in the 2nd round. In his defense, there were a lot of personal issues going on that involved him, to which it is none of our business, and more importantly it had absolutely nothing to do with basketball. However I do agree with 2011. He was a no-show and he got his ass locked up by Jason Terry. Jason Terry of all people!!!!!! That 3pt sharp-shooting sniper was putting his foot in LeBron's ass, I should know because I watched the entire series.
Great vid. This is what the mainstream sports media don't want to talk about.
i can agree with all of that
Good subject/point!
Everyone should know in their hearts that hands down Michael Jordan is the GOAT!
I totally agree. Especially with LeBron and even with Kareem. He had a 9 year stretch in the ‘70s in his prime when he couldn’t win until Magic joined the Lakers and saved his legacy. As for Kobe, that’s debatable.
GREAT VIDEO.
EXCELLENT POINTS.
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
Kobe wouldn't pass it to Shaq, that was definitely on Kobe.
But I also agree on all your takes you just made
Kobe played for Kobe
Hold on a second bro, Kobe admitted and owned up to the fact that it was his fault that the Lakers lost to the Pistons in the 2004 finals, however in the 2006 playoffs the Lakers had a strategy of Kobe deferring to his teammates to catch the Phoenix Suns off guard, and it payed off for the first 4 games. But games 5 and 6 was when some of his teammates showed their true colors on how sorry they were and that's when game 7 happened. I understand that what Kobe did was wrong and petty, but that doesn't mean that it's not understandable. But, you want to know how he made up for it? By getting Pau Gasol to go with some of the other really good players he had, and winning two more championships. That being said, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have proven, with evidence presented to you, that Kobe Bean Bryant learned from his mistakes in 2004 and 2006 built character development to right his wrongs by being more patient and trusting with his teammates while lowkey proving he can still win without his running-mate, Shaquille O'Neal which furthermore qualifies him to be in the G.O.A.T conversation in spite of everything that happened around him, through the act of perseverance. Thank you. I rest my case.
AAAAAWWWWW SPIN SPIN SPIN
Kobe never owned up to anything
@melvynsngltn27 Yes, the hell he did. Ask Shaq when he had his sit down interview with him back in 2018.
@@jonathanwilliams0824I agree wit u man that pistons series was rough that was very good defensive team that knew how 2 play him n Shaq. I dnt think their heads were in the game in 04. And as far as dat phoenix series Kobe was proving a point he needed more help everybody kept calling him a ball hog so he showed how important he was 2 his team I dnt blame him I would've done same thing lol. But they finally got gasol a good big man that wanted 2 win and he made up 4 those playoff mistakes.
@relicdad88 Right. To this day, bro, I'm still shocked that the Los Angeles Lakers who went 45-37 in 2005-06 season had a 3-1 series lead against the Phoenix Suns who were the 2 seed(they should have been the 3 seed, but the NBA messed up with that position) and they had no business being in that situation as the 7 seed. But, it happened, and I still don't hold it against Kobe because his roster was lowkey trash once again. Like, if you're Phil Jackson, how in God's name are you going to beat a powerhouse Phoenix Suns squad without Amar'e Stoudemire, with Kwame "Mama's cooking" Brown and Smush Parker in your starting lineup, not make any adjustments in the rotation, and live and die by the game plan you had!? Make it make sense!!!!!
LeBron gets disqualified on so many other things: the flopping, the whining, the putting the blame on others, the stacking his teams with superstars, the quitting on his teams. In my book, this puts him out of the top ten conversation.
My top 30 all time:
#30 David Robinson
#29 Charles Barkley
#28 Isiah Thomas
#27 Bill Walton
#26 John Stockton
#25 Dirk Nowitzki
#24 Giannis Antetokounmpo
#23 Nikola Jokić
#22 Dominique Wilkins
#21 Rick Barry
#20 Dwayne Wade
#19 Kevin Garnett
#18 John Havlicek
#17 Julius Erving
#16 Jerry West
#15 Moses Malone
#14 Bill Russell
#13 Oscar Robertson
#12 Kevin Durant
#11 Steph Curry
#10 Hakeem Olajuwon
#9 Tim Duncan
#8 Kobe Bryant
#7 Shaquille O’Neil
#6 Lebron James
#5 Magic Johnson
#4 Larry Bird
#3 Wilt Chamberlain
#2 Kareem Abdul Jabar
#1 Michael Jordan
Tanking the 10' semis & 11' finals are the least of LeBron's numerous, unforgivable sins.
I'm not sure shaq Miss I think more than 20 game injury, Karl Malone Miss I think 22 game injury, Kobe to miss the game because of injury, the only one had free is Garry Payton, also I'm not surprised about Kobe, Kobe never ever pass the ball but the way Kobe carried the team to over time is great, Kobe lose against Piston but my second favorite moment of Kobe
Great breakdown
Great video!!!
It wasn't the Lakers offense against the Pistons that cost them the ship. It was their defense. Remember the best 2 players on the court was Kobe and Shaq. The next 5 was the Pistons starting 5 and you could argue that the Lakers had no one better than Oker or Williamson. It was the mismatches. Fisher was too small for Hamilton and Billups which made Kobe have to switch. And the Lakers had no one to guard Sheed which opened up offensive rebounding for Ben and Prince.
I have a hard time penalizing anybody for their performance in the finals because being in the finals is still better than not making it to the finals.
Fair Enough. agreed
This Video Was 🔥🔥🔥
MJ was a degenerative gambler beat up team mates he shouldn't be let off the hook he couldn't even get to the finals until bird back went out and he couldn't beat the Lakers until Kareem retired those are some strong offensives.
Ima huge bron fan N I do critique if necessary. 2010 he should get a pass kuz they wasn’t funna win anyway but 2011 mane dats no een lebron kuz 18 ppg is a lot but not for a superstar especially a goat candidate. But legoat done had so many iconic/great postseason runs dat to me it really jus dismissed his whole 2011 run. The goat debate is subjective kuz all da nit pickin. I think Jordan 2nd fuck da 6 rings wat he do without Scottie. Bron proved no matter who he wit who around wat team wat city they gon get a championship by year 2 dats my goat
Michael Jordan should be permanently removed from the 🐐debate, he’s faced the weakest playoff and finals competition in NBA history. 5 unremarkable teams, weak defenders and defenses, as well as the weakest offense in NBA finals history. All of his finals runs started the year after an NBA expansion. He’s historically overrated
Nice story, bro
@@josefrootgum No lies detected🤷♂️
@@williamalexander9485POOR "WILLMA" THE DELUSIONAL BRONSEXUAL.
EVERYTIME U THINK ABOUT MJ'S GREATEST U GET CRAMPS JUST LIKE UR QUEEN " LOST BRONZE BLAMES,'
Wait, wasn’t that Shaq’s team in 2004? Didn’t Shaq “carry” Kobe during all those finals? How does he get no blame for being outplayed by Ben Wallace? And your “witnesses” are the opponent Chauncey Billups & a sorry teammate Kareem Rush? It’s amazing how Shaq gets to skate by on this & gets put on Kobe
lol fax
Man, after 2001 it was more like a Batman and Superman team, but Shaq ended up with those 3 finals mvps because nobody could stop him in those finals. Also, Shaq played great agaisnt the Pistons, he didnt destroy them as he did with the other teams he faced in the finals.
Because of kobe lmao kobe was horrible and he is my favorite player but he blew that series nobody should be denying this
When did Ben Wallace outplayed Shaq quit lying 🤥
Lebron didn't miss the playoffs in his prime did he?
No he just got owned by Barea after jumping ship to start the superteam trend
@@kaiserinyoleba5711 how did he get owned by him? What did barea do better?
Lebron missed the playoffs in 2019, the year before AD got traded to the Lakers
@@shyguy8362 I would consider that pass his prime.
@MikeHawk-yg3gk I mean, the year before he had one of the greatest playoff runs of all time. And the next year he won finals mvp. He wasn't at his top form, but he was still in his prime
