Dom2k Could you do that why were 5 players drafted before Larry Bird Also a video on what if Portland had drafted MJ instead of Sam Bowie?

Dom why ain’t you on fox sports replacing this clown Skip Bayless talking bout how Kawaii was carried to the finals lmao.

It might be time to change the intro montage.

He lost to the celtic in 6 thats a massive failure ok that just shows how much the team he was on didnt desrve to be in the finals without him plus the center was injured. like youre talkin about how easy it was to guard kobe look at whose on the floor jordam farmar sasha vuecic lamar odom and ronney turiaf. like ira newbel and chris mhim were on that team gettin major minutes you dumbass who the fuck is gonna win with that plus you dont even know how physical the refs let the celtics get away with gasol was the same player in 2009 kobe was the same in 2009 mark jackson thought draymon green was a small forward no wonder he isnt a coach anymore nor does anyone want him he was soft but andrew bynum was back in 2009 . the magic had dwight howard the only reason the celtics won was because they had a wayyyyyy better team than the lakers. you show like 2 plays from every series and be like this happened all series the lakers got out muscled in 2008 bruh you were probably like 10 years old at that time cause you sound like a little dumbass lebron fan talkin about "better defense stopped Kobe from gettin a championship without shaq"(in my bitch dom2k voice) they had noone to cover kobe like paul pierce". lol this guy Kobe averaged 25.7 in that series and gasol the one of the greatest players ever averaged 14.7 in a 6 game series for real bro youre sayin that kobe is the reason they lost cause he wasnt passing to who youre an IDIOT soooo tired of your videos in my suggestions its awful youre a little kid you didnt even see kobe like that man KOBE AVERAGED 25.7 HAD 28 REBOUNDS 16 STEALS AND 30 ASSITS IN 6 GAMES IN THAT FINALS WHILE KG PAUL AND RAY ALL AVERAGED 20 AND THEY HAD 3 OF THE BEST DEFENDERS IN THE LEAGUE ON THEIR TEAM AT THE TIME IN JAMES POSEY TONY ALLEN AND KG STOP ITS SIMPLE MATHEMATICS WHY THEY LOST BRO NO CHANGE OF CULTURE NONE OF THAT BULLSHIT you dont know how he was the same player in 09 08 2010 06 07 05 he had AWFUL TEAMS YOU ASSHOLE SHUT UP TALK ABOUT HOW LEBRON HAD TO GO TO MIAMI TO LOSE TO THE MAVERICKS OR HOW STEPH CURRY HIDES BEHIND DEFENSE THEN GETS ALL THE CREDIT CAUSE HE HAS THE MOST POINTS BUT NEVER THE MOST CRUCIAL BLOCKS OR STEALS OR ASSISTS BUT HES THE SOUL OF THE TEAM OOOOOKK HOW ABOUT CAN KD LED A TEAM TO A CHIP WITHOUT A GREAT TEAM THAT IS STILL IN THE FINALS WITHOUT HIM AND MOST OF THIER ROSTER SINCE WE ALL KNOW HE HASNT BUT HES ALWAYS ON SPORTSCENTER EVEN THOUGH HE DOESNT DO ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT BUT SCORE AND GETS CREDITED OF BEING THE BEST SCORER IN HISTORY SMH YOURE AN IDIOT BRO HOW ABOUT SHAQ HOW MUCH DOES HE WIN WITHOUT GREAT PLAYERS UM NOT AT ALL BUT HES THE MOST DOMINANT.

If Only KG didn't blow out his knee, Kobe most likely only gets one of those titles.

shouldnt that be normal when talking about the nba in general tbh?

Thomas MNQ Yeah it should, but it isn’t always. In the Basketball world, a lot of people let their player/team bias creep into their opinions. It’s rare to find Basketball fans who’s are truly objective thinkers, and Dom is one of those people

@@jonnyarnett yup. Especially those who hate lebron.

@@ptbarnum2678 That's true but it's mainly an older fan base that doesn't pay much attention to "The weakest era in nba history". I don't think their opinions of him are objective or really matter because of the simple face that they don't even watch the sport like they used to.

That's easy. Lebron choked

That’s a good idea cause he was playing a better team that Finals

Jason Terry should have been MVP. Ppl just have star bias

@Curly Que Bynum didn't play in the 2008 finals. 2008 playoffs and was hurt before the Pau Gasol trade. Kobe was lousy in the 2008 NBA finals

Melvyn Singleton Celtics were lousy in 2010 Finals

Also gotta remember Bynum didn't play in 08 and Ariza was coming off a broken leg. Pau playing the 5 instead of the 4 made a BIG difference. Laker possibly still would've lost the series but it would've went 7. Hell it went 6 with the shit they were doing already lol Great job Dom

Yup and Kobe and the lakers got their revenge!

Kobe is unstoppable

He didnt do a good job if Kobe dropped 40, he did good in the Cavs series tho

@@xaviondavis4733 Klay did a good job on Kyrie and he dropped 40. Sometimes you can do everything short of block the shot and the guy will make it

Pietrus was a bench and was in foul trouble so he couldn’t do as well

Exactly!!! How is this overlooked? Also, Ariza wasn't healthy in 08. (broke his leg)

Dude would've averaged 35 multiple times bro

Gary Wade and if they called these types of fouls? damn this man couldve had 35 every season of his prime

Kobe would have gotten exposed just like James harden

@@kohsmoger1567 right bruh cause kobe didnt play like such great defenders as the warriors or toronto yea buddy youre right he would have been exposed for being better now then he was then

Grady Jackson the most overrated all time great.

Houston? He was dogshit in game 7 vs. Houston. Pau had to get them through that game.

@@xaviervega468 so you want to pick one game out of an entire championship run? I see you hating on Kobe in every video. L

the hall of fame part is pretty obvious. it’s not that hard to be a 1st ballot hall of famers as long as you have some credentials to your resume.

Obviously. I don't think anyone would argue otherwise.

Why i see you everywhere

Gasol was the real MVP of that Year's finals he averaged more rebounds than anybody & averaged more point then any of Boston players

@@melvynsngltn27 rondo was avg 22pts a game in the playoffs he didn't in the finals because Kobe lock him down Pau I give credit but he was only avg 18pts while Kobe was avg 28pts 8reb 4asst led the Lakers in scoring asst stl defensive rating that why he was finals MVP

@@lucianotecuanapa9853 Kobe took nearly twice as many shots as Pau. Pau also had more rebounds than anyone and the second most points in that series

Yes, Shaq went out and Pau came in lol (not like he got carried heavily or anything anyway, just that he wasn't ever without help when seriously competing for the title).

Ah, and I guess it's relevant to say for Kobe and the other teams that KG went out too, poor Celtics, it truly fucked everything for them, at least to succesfully compete.

Dusk TheHunter My point is, people are always discrediting Kobe when it comes to his championships. Kobe worked with Pau to help make him more physical. Pau’s numbers improved when he played with Kobe. As well as SHAQ’s

Henry Tran Facts!!!! They don’t realize how much of a problem the West was when Kobe played. Kobe battled through the western conference his whole career

@@kenart94 shaq was always good he just needed kobe to be a superstar too in order to win kobe didnt need a guy to get 40 or 30 to win he needed dudes to defend and make good basketball decisions look at how pau gasol is known now that he played with kobe I was 17 when the lakers got pau played nba 2k since it came out when they got that fool I was like WHO I never heard of that dude EVER I watched karl malone at 8 in him and stocktons last finals together I saw him on WCW with rodman thats how much basketball Ive consumed in my life I played live 95 religiously on sega genesis at 5 bro I never heard of pau gasol I knew jermaine o neal shit I even heard of brian big country reeves even matt geiger even the dude the clippers wasted a number 1 pick on in like 2000 I hadnt seen him getting dunked on matter fact I remeber he got hurt 1 laker game I saw in 2006 against memphis only time I seen him outside of that he was in a suit he even played with a prime jason williams and I never heard of this dude not interviews no announcements on espn nothin. then he plays with kobe averges mediocre numbers and hes one of the greats hahahahahahah if kobe played like pau gasol with shaq they would have never won

81 would have been a joke, in his prime he would have probably score 100.

Mitch O'Brien no he wouldnt lol, both harden and kd are better scorers than kobe and they cant get 40 a season, harden played his ass off this year and still came 4 points short

Kobe isn't as physically dominant as Giannis. I don't think the spacing would help him that much.

Lebron cant even get 30 in his sleep what are you talking about

@@dumberoni1023 what if you dont knock it off harden is better than kobe you trippin kobe hit way more contested shit than harden and has hit 12 threes in a row in a game bro kd is not a better scorer stop it he plays in golden state plus we all seen him throwin up bricks in okc when the thunder needed it

agreed man🙏🏾❤️

IMO Michael Jordan Is The GOAT For Me

that was one of the greatest defensive performances ever.

I second this video

the pistons had a good as team though with rasheed wallace rip hamilton and chauncy billups playin like he was on hgh in that series against 33 year old shaq 41 year old karl malone and a 36 year old point gaurd gary payton who was an all star the year before but his age had clearly caught up with him

Kobe spent a couple minutes talking about that series in that interview he did with Shaq. Pretty interesting stuff if you haven't already checked it out.

I just commented something similar. You are absolutely correct sir. I can tell that you may have actually been watching this series and the Lakers as all this was actually unfolding. Not saying they would've won, but if the Lakers had the 09 roster in 08, that series goes 7. Hell they went 6 with what they had. For some reason people hardly ever deal in shypotheticals when it comes to Kobe but when it comes to other NBA greats there are always alot of "what ifs".

Ego-wise sure. Basketball wise not at all. Shaq and Kobe were unstoppable, Gasol could never really dominate a game if Kobe wasn't hitting shots like Shaq could.

Different dynamic. Gasol was the #2 option. Period. The same can't be said of Shaq, who was the #1 option until at least 2003.

Shaq and Kobe is a legendary duo that didn't produce more championships because of their ego problems. Gasol and Kobe were great but Gasol ain't Shaq

*ariza

David Elsea Exactly.

E BO pretty much sums it up.

Because they ended up winning that game?! Are you that fucking stupid 😂😂😂

Ur saying Magic not enough credit MJ too much right?

Not quite the same as there was also no hand checking. With all that Jordan was still better in the finals compared to Kobe Bean

@@ballislife9924 Right cause Hornacek and Ainge were known for their defense? Magic without Worthy? If I take MJ off his team and the star of all the other teams he faced the bulls are still better

@@rockysalvatore435 I'm not arguing with you. MJ better end of story

@@ballislife9924 Kobe tougher competition throughout career less spacing when did he ever have a known spot up shooter. Kobe can't win without Shaq gets rid of him. Everybody else can't win without their Star teammates... still sticks with them. Kobe gave up multiple titles to prove a point. Hand checking still their mid 2000's. Btw all of Mike's highlights there's no hand on his hip. Also look at the majority of the plays where they play him pretty much one on one with no wall like Warriors one on one. Who else has given up their privilege of Star talent which by the way was carried by two guys unlike these other stacked teams.

Bynum was just a rebounder and rim protector at that point.

Yeah but he was still a started and would’ve been there to help get offensive and defensive rebounds. Ariza could’ve guarded pierce and Ray Allen while Kobe on another. They were missing 2/5 of their starters and bums had to sit in and play

Definitely would've went 7 big dog. No doubt about it

Exactly. It would’ve made all the difference especially Bynum in that particular year. They needed him for the Celtics.

Kevin Richards the difference was the lakers had the twin towers Bynum and gasol to deal with Howard inside. The cavs had no one to contain him, he was free eating in that series

In DMS Like Deez to me the difference was Kobe’s shooting ability made him able to have big man to play in and out ball where since Lebron wasn’t a shooter his driving made his team full of shooters ...I want don to show that

@@kevinrichards4346 exactly also Bynum was not 100% going into 2009 finals he was only avg 9pts 4reb it was the Lakers defense that stop Howard and Kobe was just an other level

Gary Wade Just having Bynum out there would’ve taken all that attention Kobe was getting away from him. They could’ve broke down the Celtics defense (which was top notch) if Bynum was out there. They didn’t have an answer for him plus Pau (he was super soft in that series) would’ve been playing his natural position. Celtics were just loaded and too much for the Lakers to handle at that point. They were healthy and the Lakers weren’t.

@@40III i agree with you but also Ariza he was our best defender if he was healthy he would have given Paul problems
