*scores 48 points, steps over Tyrone Lue, and wins a Finals game

Was it lue he stepped over? That really does make that sequence just a little bit sweeter

How are they better than the warriors?

Yes. Until he became Cavs coach this is the first thing 90% of people who knew him thought of.

This warriors team would ass rape that lakers team.

>>76406328
>a better team than the Golden State Warriors
objectively false. Shaq would feast on anyone of the Warriors' defenders, but Kobe would get locked down by Thompson, Durant, and probably Green. On the other hand, who can guard Durant in that roster? Fox, Horry? I don't think so. What about Curry? Fisher, Lue? Switching Kobe on him would open up Klay and he'd straight up bully any other guard the Lakers had, like how he's been doing Kyrie who's a way better defender than Lue or Fisher

It doesn't matter what he does getting posterized that badly ruins your reputation

>>76406368
Shhhhh let the numale warriorlenials delude themselves. Their meme team has no game other than chucking 3s while letting a bunch of turn overs because they're stuck up faggots.

>>76406347
They are. Easily. The only flaw was letting Iverson go insane in game one.

>>76406368
>3rd and 4th best players were Fisher and Fox
>warriors are green and Thompson
Look Fisher was clutch and had a good career and Fox was decent but those aren't anything special as your 3rd and 4th players. That's the difference between them.

>>76406347
Just look at the rules back in 2001 compared to now. Back in 2001 you had to have a big man anchor the team because handchecking and tougher defense was allowed.

If you teleport the Warriors back in time to 2001 their asses get whooped by the Lakers because Shaq would rape them and Kobe/Fisher/Fox handcheck the shit out of Stephanie/The Servant/Klay

If you transport the 2001 Lakers to today's game, Durant/Curry/Klay meme 3 the Lakers to death and Shaw dies of a heart attack.

It really is a case of two GOAT teams that were perfectly in their own era and not any other era.

>>76406426
Lakersfags are so insane, you played in a shit era and got just as much refball as anyone in history

>>76406355

Fucking ayy lmao had it coming.

>>76406408
>does it off 40% career shooting in playoff
It's not a meme the dude just chucked a million shots up a game. He would have no place in today's game with his current style.

>>76406426
Not really people just didn't understand the power of the 3. That's all it is. Have fun with your mythical handchecking that wouldn't matter because gs would just toss the ball all around the court

>>76406426
in terms of adaptability to different NBA rules the warriors win easily. Current game? Warriors play as usual and they win by no less than 20. Old school rules? Green. Durant and Thompson handchecking? especially with the athleticism of current players? absolute defensive nightmare. Lakers might win because Shaw would just fuck the warriors' big men. However, it would be a very close game.

>>76406444
t. underage

Iverson had to "chuck" up so many shots because he had

NO ONE
O

O
N
E

to pass the ball to. Furthermore, he was 5' 10" 180lbs driving to the basket in an era where every team had a big dominating presence. Of fucking course he's going to have a lower shooting percentage than guys today who can drive to the basket basically unhindered because the era of the big man is over.

>>76406444
It was crazy how shitty most offenses were back then. Bunch of ISOs and settling for contested long 2s.

kek, those faggots would not be able to shoot off the dribble

>>76406466
you mean he was a ballhog so no one got in a rhythm?

>>76406406
Lakers had an actual bench unlike the Dubs.

I'd take

Role players: Fisher, Harper, Horry, Shaw, Fox, Horace(legit defender), Rider(people forget this guy was a legit scorer), Devean George

over

Role players: Draymond, Klay, Iggy, Livingston, Zaza, McGee and Ian Clark

The role players on the Lakers are clutch as fuck, play good defense and have actual depth outside of 3 players (Iggy,Draymond,Klay)

Also, hate to break it to the kids, but

Shaq-Kobe > Durant-Curry

For the simple fact that Kobe and Shaq make the perfect ying/yang duo because neither needed to shoot the ball to get hot. They always had go-to scoring capabilities.

Shaw and Kobe are considered top 12 players of all-time. Durant and Curry may reach there but I doubt it because their offensive game was not as demoralizing and dominant as Shaq and Kobe.

>>76406486
I should add he would probably average 35 PPG in todays NBA with a spread offense

>>76406466
No I watched his whole career. Just shit inefficient offense like >>76406467 says. Meanwhile people alike Steve Kerr shot 52% from 3 and warmed chairs for a living.

>>76406497
>Role players: Draymond, Klay
do you even watch the games? both are defensive anchors. Draymond sets up most of the plays the run, while Klay is the streakiest motherfucker to ever play ball.
it's more like
Durant-Curry-Klay-Draymond > Shaq-Kobe

>>76406509
they would run a few plays for someone like Kerr, probably underrated for sure, but it wasn't like now where you can pick up your dribble and shoot pretty much unguarded unless there's a height disadvantage.

>>76406497
But see green is a top 10 player, Thompson top 20, and obfuscation even top 40. Those aren't really role players. They are on that team because they have to be. Not too worried about a bench when I have 4-5 players that good.

Not really arguing curry/Durant are better than Shaq/Kobe. Just arguing that the difference is in that 3-5 range.

>>76406368
Kobe's prime was 2006-2009 tho

>>76406531
Obfuscation/Iguodala lol. Auto correct went wild with that one.

>>76406550
Kobe had two primes. One was prime Frobe where he was almost as good as Kawhi at defense and was an efficient scoring beast when he needed to be. Kobe's second prime was hero ball warrior stuff. He could score from anywhere and do anything, even do Dirk's fadeaway shot. He was like a magician, but his defense suffered.

>>76406567
>he could do anything
>except shoot more than 45 percent

>>76406588
Well, he wasn't a faggot who practiced one shot over and over. He had a midrange arsenal and post up skills. Fuck today's NBA for taking away all the awesome intricacies of creating offense.

>>76406368
Kobe was and is shit.It was just Shaq dominating the paint with Sternball what made those Lakers good

>>76406463
>it would be a very close game
>Warriors just bomb 3's over Shaq's admittedly unguardable two point post play

Haw-a-Shaw and it's over, literally only Kobe can remain in the 4th as a scorer and it's done, Warriors legitimately sweep

>>76406616

kek Jordan at 39 was at "Prime" Kobe levels of efficiency

In terms of pure talent
Durant>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Curry>Shaq>>Thompson>>Kobe=Green.KD is shooting 55% from the field for crying out loud.He is more efficient than Shaq was as a scorer without Sternball

>>76406954
Kobes best eFG%(gives more weight to 3s than 2s) season would've been 75th in the league this season lmao. Mediocre shooter, mediocre from 3, 83% from the line and got their often and made a living off it but not as much as Jordan or James to a lesser extent.

>>76407750
Thanks for the stats fag.

>>76406328
Shaq would just just assrape the warriors. They have no answer for 90s dominant monster at the center position.

>>76409242
warriors would just let him score in every possesion and then respond with a 3

they'd still win

>>76409242
>They have no answer for 90s dominant monster
Hack a Shaq and KD's larger wingspan would be enough

>>76406342
>>76406355
That was such a great playoff run for the sixers. Exciting and fun.
And game one of the finals was fucking awesome.

Lue was the original Delly. No offensive game, but they put him in because he was fast enough to shadow Iverson. His job was to be super aggressive on D, and try to throw Iverson off his rhythm.

>>76409242
Shaq could not guard KD.

>>76406355
JR Rider.

>>76406347
They aren't. Retards on this board also refuse to accept how the top teams now are built with analytics. The only thing that'd spare the old teams are historic talent (2001 Lakers were great but not GOAT by any means) or drastically different rules (eg zone)

>>76406486
They built the entire team around Iverson being the entire offense.

>>76410323
East Bay funk

>>76406466
Only reason he got the finals was because that year he did have someone to pass to. Aaron Mckey was solid from corner, Snow had a quality mid range. Their defense was legit too.

But the season turned when Ratliff went down and they managed to get Mutombo to replace him. Mutombo and Tyrone Hill, they pretty much swallowed rebounds.

I have a shit load of this season on VHS still. Best games that year in general were his shoot outs with Vince.

>>76406355
Based AI

WE TALKIN BOUT PRACTICE

Anyone who think the Warriors would be able to run and gun against the MUCH more physical defense of the goat 90s teams is a numale cuck that doesnt know shit about the game

>>76406486
Name one person on that "team" that was at least good enough to shoot beside AI

I'd put money on the Warriors over that Laker squad. Only real unsolvable problem would be Shaq.

>>76406656
This.

>>76410466
Fuck, that series with the raptors was sick. Carter made like 10 million threes. It came down to the final seconds in game seven. Great series.
The whole playoffs for the sixers was great. Every series was tight and exciting.

*wastes all my money before I'm 50*
