Bitch their bench is still fucking deep and they kept their most vitle bench pieces Iggy and Livingston. The two rookies in the short term might not be a upgrade but in the long term they definetly are.

We all know about it, and we all see it. It's obvious. Nobody ever wants to admit it, but it's there.

People on this board hate Kobe Bryant.

The first question to ask: why? Why do you all hate him? The obvious answer: you didn't watch him in his prime.

Likely explanation: I know that most of you are around 14 or 15 years old. That means you only got into basketball in the last couple years. So you never watched Mamba in his prime.

And because you didn't watch him in his prime, you try to compensate for that by diving into stat sheets and analyzing box scores. But here's the thing: basketball isn't played on Excel spreadsheets. The moment somebody brings up "true shooting percentage" or "win shares" I know they know nothing about basketball.

Kobe's game cannot be encapsulated by one stat. He's the second greatest SG ever, and one of the 5 best players to ever play the game.

So when I hear somebody say that LeBron James is better than Kobe Bryant, I laugh, because I know that anybody who watched Kobe in his prime wouldn't think that. Unlike you guys, I have watched basketball for a significant amount of time, so I know that Kobe is better.
You might be jealous of Kobe's five rings, or jealous of his status as the greatest scorer in NBA history, or whatever. Unless you're a Bulls fan who watched basketball in the 90s, or a Lakers fan who watched basketball in the 2000s, you don't know what real, cold-blooded, killer instinct, will-to-win basketball looks like.

And there's nothing wrong with that.
This general would make you think that Kobe isn't even a top 100 player ever.

So don't go spouting bullshit about players you didn't watch. Talk about your "greats" like
>Steph Curry
The Best Player in the World™, but leave the Kobe talk to the adults. Fair?

this is my favorite pasta now.

>gutted

Yeah nah they're going 74-8 this year cunt

howard

who can stop this team?

why they gave chris paul a dwight howard body?

here is a list of teams that currently can beat the team you just posted:

chris paul is fucking stacked, the guy is like 200lbs at under 6 foot

take bout 25 pounds off m8

he's definitely heavier than the listed weight, plus he's got that old man strength now too. if cp3 was a little taller he could have an unstoppable post game

Both of them have way too broad shoulders

>manlets talking about manlets
oh me oh my.

He looks heavier desu

Im guessing hes really 5'10.5" @ 190

...

What is considered a manlet?

Can you please go away /nba/? You always mess my sleep schedule up, sick of you.

i think the wolves are going to be good this season, im talking play-off good.

manlet isn't a height, it's a state of mind

Do you pronounce the Celtics as Keltics or Celtics?

>complain on /nba/ about being poor
>user offers to send me some stuff

>pick it up from the post office 10 minutes ago
>theres a 100 dollar prepaid visa card in there and a throwback Bird jersey

Holy fucking shit, thank you based Hinkie, im going to fucking Popeyes and eating til i pass out

/nba/ does it again

BASED

This

Wow, stop posting. That team is trash and the second unit would get curb stomped by any top team's second unit. If you think that's deep you're far more shallow than previously thought.

>ywn eat popeyes on Sam Hinkies dime

>tfw hinkie paid for my mom's abortion

Wew lad the lore is real

I love how Kobe retired yet we talk about him every day, but not Duncan.

Nothing spiteful or anything, I just find it funny.

Wew Kobe

Based Sam, put me in the cap fat fucks

Kobe is still a controversial figure on /nba/ yet highly loved at the same time. Duncan is just....boring. Not much to say about him that hasn't already been said. He's not very relevant tbqhwy.

>that team is trash
No one has even seen them play yet. Your opinion is fucking shit

Anything below 7 foot

Your face is fucking trash. Oink oink.

So uhh.... Anything happen today? Like some news or some shit?

You're not a superstar until you beat rape charges

who started the kobe/westbrook meme? its been going on for well over a year now i know and it needs to stop.

Rose having another MVP season confirmed. After Westbrook of course.

>and it needs to stop.

Just ordered an authentic Westbrook alternate navy jersey, 240 dollars off, I'M FUCKING HYPED

>FLASH NEWS UPDATE -
>LEBRON BEATS THE WARRIORS DOWN 3-1 IN THE FINALS; WARRIORS LITERALLY GUT THEIR ROSTER FOR AN OVERRATED FORWARD.

>IN OTHER NEWS -THE SATELLITE NAMED BY NASA "MY SIDES" HAS NOW REACHES ORBIT!

>there are """""""""""people"""""""""" that don't like the wew kobe meme

>don't like the wew kobe meme

thats a wew kobe

...

its just when i try to discuss westbrook you guys post pictures of kobe and say hes retired. its fucking autistic and confusing

we need to start posting the same westgod image a lot so we can get a westgod image on the most reposted images list on the archive, which should we use?

Umm...Westbrook is the one that retired. Kobe is still active.

You need yo get your shit straight senpai.

...

No

MISSION: USE THIS IMAGE ON EVERY THREAD ON THE BOARD

GOGOGOGOGO

Damn I miss basketball season. My girlfriend asked if we can go to an NBA game this year. Should I take her and risk losing her to the bbc?

youtube.com/watch?v=sRX27aXbMzg

I actually think if the Knicks are healthy they can beat the Cavs in a 7 game series.

Take her to a Timberwolves vs. Pelicans game
Whites vs. ugly blacks
You'll really be reducing the risk of becoming a cuck

>My girlfriend

...

>my two dads

Do you think Westbrook will play like Kobe did without Shaq with a ton of 40-60 point games, maybe even a 80 points game? Or is he going to skip that and immediately try to play like Gasol ere Kobe and try to be a great leader? Or maybe even 2001 AI leading his team to the Finals?

Dope.

>the number tho

Hmm...

nice digits, but WB will lead the league in trip dubz, and face off against the memes in the second round. draymond green will start off the physicality but WB will put him in his place. Also guarantee you Durant gets his ass dunked on by WB, which leads to a re fracture of his foot and he retired ringless and no hoes.

A mix of Gasol era Kobe and AI since they have no Gasol type but a great defensive team like Philly did. May still have some 40 or 50 point games tho. Oladipo, Andre, may make them one of the best perimeter defensive teams, add Adams and maybe of of the best overall, at least top 7.

Who cares, his team is gonna be a 7th to 8th seed that gets eliminated in the first round

its going to be so sad when the team starts doing bad while you guys flip flop and shit on him while i'll be the only one still supporting him like i've always have.

screencap this post because its going to happen

Hmm....interesting pattern.

>implying

Westgod will always be loved because of his spirit and passion. It doesn't matter what happens as long as he keeps being 100% real and doesn't act fake like KD or some other superstars.

Interesting pattern of hate there.

Reminds me of a person whose name starts with a H and ends in a y.

Hinky?

>Westgod will always be loved because of his spirit and passion

>Westgod will always be loved because of his spirit and passion
he got shitted on by 80% of the entire general last year in february when he was averaging a triple double. you fucks said he was a heroballing meme chucker and the only one who was defending him was that one user from turkey and me.
