@user-ki1mg5es5v Mr Dirk the one hit wonder

I'm a Lakers fan too and I give Dallas credit I didn't expect the Lakers too get swept and the 36pt butt kicking gave me nightmares they could of won by 50 if they wanted

Cause Lakers didn’t have Dwade or CBosh and were injured with a ton of locker room drama and 2nd best player Gasol avg 12PPG playing terrible

@@davis2k1234 Whahaha, look at the roster of lakers.

Please the Lakers were the favorites that year. Kobe fanboys always make excuses. As a Lakers fan they lost. Kobe choked at the end of game 1, the Lakers as a team choked in game 3 & game 4 they quit

@@melvynsngltn27 They only see the bad side of LBJ but in Kobe and Mj they think this 2 guy is a perfect person in their eyes....😅😅😅😅

@@kwentonibyahero2818 yup very bias

The excuse is Kobe when to two straight so he gets a pass. But when Lebron goes 8 in a row, expectation is 100% win streak or else he worse than Jordan

Kobe averaged 23 ppg lol if he had wade and Bosh he a won gasol averaged 12 ppg lol stop it

@@DSunnyGamingexcuse 😂😂 this was a smack down that prevented Kobe from claiming to be just as good as Jordan. Kobe gets six rings if they win this series

Grow brain. All you can argue is ppg? Go watch Tennis dude, team sports is too high for you.

Idk why there are so many people saying this doesn't get brought up. It does. Everyone hypes up Dirk, partly for sweeping the back to back champions. And it's a stain on kobes legacy. The reason why kobe isn't shredded for the loss in the same manner as lebron is because lebron caved under the pressure after building a super team... and mocking a sick Dirk. There were 4 players on the court that outplayed him when he was supposed to be the best player in the league. It was an embarrassing performance. A better comparison in in '04 when the pistons beat the lakers and kobe took just as much heat for playing selfishly. The standard is held the same across the board, you just have to be willing to see it.

FACTS

He was always just a Goodwill or thrift store Jordan at best and this series proves it along with his finals losses to Detroit and the Boston Celtics in 2008 and the fact that the Lakers couldn't even make the playoffs when Shaquille O'Neal first left Bryant was always a media hype never on Jordan's level ever​@@Mr.DontPlay100

Mention Kobe had just dragged them to 3 straight Finals avg over 100 games played a season and beat up Mention how Dr Buss died and his son 1st move he announced was to fire Phil right before the playoffs started Gasol avg 12PPG and locker room in shambles w injuries and drama The Mavericks were the better team period

@@RoyPage1970Nobody is on MJs level he’s by far the best ever Kobe is 2nd all time closest to MJ will ever see

Lebum fans cant win an argument against Jordan fans thats why theyre targeting Kobe fans. But until Lebum win his 5th ring, He is below Kobe.

@TomSebastien I don't understand what your saying

Lebron had a superteams wtf lol add context and Kobe averaged 23 ppg not 17

A super team? 😂😂😂 They had 3 players!! Their starting center was Joel Anthony for crying out loud. No post presence at all. No bench at all. The list goes on and on. That's what you call a super team? 3 damn players?? You limited minded 2k kid 😂😂😂 Dallas was like 10 guys deep, were missing Butler in the playoffs, had a bench, had great bigs including a damn Tyaon Chandler. Grow up, kiddo. You know nothing about ball. Super team the kid says 😂😂😂

Add context he says 😂😂

You mean the lakers were swept Kobe lead in scoring in clutch time pau couldn’t stop dirk

Bro jason terry is tuff bro no cap

No, they literally don't. Dirk is hailed as a top 25 player for going through Kobe, KD, and Lebron with a weak team. I don't know anyone who doesn't know this happened

Doesn’t matter. Alot of player aren’t 100% during the post season.

@@voodoodiecast no like he deadass Re aggregated his already sprained ankle. He sprained his ankle in a regular season game vs the mavs in March. Then sprained the same ankle AGAIN the series prior to this one vs the hornets and played on it during this mavs playoff series. He was limping up the floor some possessions That, pau getting punked by chandler, and our aging core is why we got swept.

and they forgot Kobe's team are the defending champs 🤧🤧 Miami are still rebuilding that year from the bottom. also not to mention the Mavs are stack that year too

Do I need to explain how fucking stupid this comparison is or you got it?

Miami has 3 prime superstars...don't compare these Lakers who had injured Kobe

@@shiningking man whatever dude the Lakers were the clear cut favorites over the Mavericks and were expected to win

Kobe played better against the mavs then the Lebalco, Gasol got old, Bynum didnt last long, ron artest shooting took a dip. Lakers team fell of similar to the 2010s Seahawks

Vruh, Jordan is better, OK. You win, congratulations. But that doesn't mean Kobe is trash or thst he was "exposed" or that the mamba mentality is a myth. Kobe is a legend on its own and one of the grratest basketball players ever.

The Facts Is That Jordan Never Faced A Team This Good And Talented In The NBA Finals.

He was injured. Most stars would have sat out with an ankle this swollen

uuuhh why was phil not coming back to the lakers no matter what? sounds like youre mixing it up w his 6th on the bulls

What u talking about super team? Miami are still rebuilding that year and coming from the worst record. but yeah lets forget Kobe's team are the defending champs 🤫🤫 also not to mention the Mavs are stack that year too

😂ung mga haters Kasi lods ni lebron kesyo tinalo lang raw Ng Dallas Ang heat kahit si nowitzki lng superstar 😅 di nila Makita kung gaano kalakas mga role player na kasama ni nowitzki 🤭

Straight choke job too and I don't even know who tf was guarding him that series lol. I think Dirk was an MVP that season too. Even the legends have had bad moments even the unstoppable ones like Kareem, Mike, Wilt, Bird, etc

lol . champion kobe got swept 😂

The Dallas swept Kobe in the mist of a 3peat 😂😂 that’s the ultimate disrespect. LeBron was still chasing his 1st ring

That's what you call a super team? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Braindead people everywhere

The problem with this is that Lebron goes 8 Straight and people talk sh!t all day

Because he had a fatigued team that just came back from a back to back, had a relatively weaker support cast than most championship teams, and had knee problems that year. He still gets heat for getting swept like literally any top player, but lebron gets far more because he genuinely choked. Bron's team showed up, but he didn't. All he had to do was not stand around and he'd have 5 rings.

Exactly definitely prevented that 6 ring for Kobe

lebronto??

It’s the year Kobe was injured he wasn’t at full health nor was the same after this.

All bla bla. Dallas destroyed the whole league all season long.

@@chrisgoat6435 because Kobe got hurt goofy if you know anything the lakers won the championship the year before…. They couldn’t guard him he could get 50 at will the season before. When he got hurt Kobe was barely putting up his jersey number he was old and injured. He also had 2 major injuries in the same leg prior but he was young so he was able to heal faster. If you remember watching he could barely get his feet up to shoot the next season when he got hurt…..

@@agentsquido5908 the team that fucked up kobe was Detroit in 2004….. that actually counted he was healthy……

Blablabla. Dallas dominated THE WHOLE LEAGUE ALL SEASON. Can you read????

i loved every second of watching it as well, and having revisionist history knowing this was the last meaningful season and last playoff run of his career it was only fitting to be swept by Dirk of all people one of the biggest chokers in NBA history LOL
