expect to see Kobe Bryant and the los angeles lakers franchise to be back on top like this again.......
3 straight Nba Final Appearances
i'll be honest after the break up i didn't expect to see this ? Kobe Back on top like that......i expected him to be Allen Iverson/T-mac/ Vince Carter Status....
i must give him respect, he is a great player with a superb drive

after 04 I thought it was a wrap for the Lake show real talk...........

Yea I thought theyd be right back. Not as quick but a team like LA or Boston will only be bad for so long until something is pulled within the league to get the most loved franchises back to the top. Not saying Boston needed the leagues help to get KG and Jesus, but the Gasol ? , come on now.

It was until the league cheated and traded them gasol for me basically -
Not impossible
Bring back Phil and add players like Gasol, Odom, and Artest and that's a championship
We saw Kobe couldn't wn with the equivalent of Lebron's cast -
Here We Go with the lebron ? again..........smh

I'm far from being a Lebron stan
Im just stating facts...Kobe AND Lebron never got it done with ? supporting players
Be happy, Kobe got a great cast and a great coach and now he's in the position to win championships -
From 99 up until now the Lakers only had 1 bad season where they didnt make the playoffs. From the early 2000s I could see Kobe was gonna be a good player for the Lakers. Kobe work' very hard on his game to become the player he is today. The organization (which is a great one) surrounded Kobe with good players to help the team get to the Finals for the third straight time, second time for the decade they have done a three-peat. Kobe put the Lakers on his back and is leading the team like a leader should.
GO LAKERS!!! -

Man I Dont wanna hear that ? , Lebron Played on a Team That Finished With the Best Record In The NBA back 2 back seasons, ...Everyone was Jockin on them ? Nuts Going into the Playoffs saying they were the favorites in the east...
But all of a sudden when they lose "He dont have a team" ...Enough Coppin' Out for that ? , He's a Good Player but he aint built like that..........Ya'll be handing that ? every Excuse in the damn Book. -

Ignore the numbers ? lol, they dont lie son. Lebron has a great regulaur season team, his team aint built for the playoffs. Kobe in 05-06 had worst players but come playoff time Lebrons all stars turned into Kobe's flunkies. -

Both of the supporting casts are equally ineffective in the playoffs is my main point
Once L.A. was donated Gasol by Memphis, that sealed the deal for them -

? had two allstar caliber players and a HOFer. Plus one of his main selling points on how he's supposedly better than Kobe is that "he makes his teammates better".
Lmao... Kobe had kwame, LO and smush outperforming mo, antawn and shaq.
Call a ? a ? . Kobe can get it done, LeBron can't. -
I'm surprised more hasn't been made of the Gasol thing.
I mean...Jerry West, who was once to the Lakers what Kobe is to them now...was (is?) the GM for the Grizzlies at the time of the trade.
The Lakers don't give up any other players, or draft picks...just Kwame Brown?
they also gave up Marc Gasol, who has proven to be a solid player and a lot tougher than his brother. Also Jerry West had retired already at the time of the trade.
He mightve pulled a few strings lol... But ultimately he had nothing to do with pulling the trigger on that deal. The grizz realized they couldn't win with the team they had and as far as they were concerned, Pau was a salary dump. -

Lmao i say the same shyyt!!! Brah im better that Kwame Brown -

Jerry West was retired almost 6 months before that trade happen. So don't bring him up. And the Lakers gave up 2 first round draft picks and Marc Gasol. -
i dont even wanna hear gasol even mention in this thread, ? was obsolete in that last game.....smh
kobe had to will ? to a victory....
gasol having such a tough time with the suns, imagine whats gonna happen against boston..... -

nobody thought vince was better lol but yeah dudes would stay pullin tmac and ai out they ass when even with shaq on the team kobe was still better than those dudes -
I always knew they would be back. But not with Kobe still top 3 in the game though.

I never doubted..

you mean top 1 -
Not hard to come back after a lopsided ass trade for Gasol. I applaud the Lakers but that ring last year is starting to look more like KG being injured. Which still doesnt take away the fact they made 3 Finals. I just cant see them getting past the C's.
