Metapod posted:Rick I was too young to care about it at the time but were people as retarded about prime kobe as they are about Russ Prime Kobe definitely had people who were hero-worshiping more than Russ does, but I think the other side of this is more people who had a vitriolic hatred. 81-point-game-era-Kobe was definitely polarizing. Much less so in the Pau/Kobe era.

Rick posted:Geeze I wonder why no one thought to pack the paint or build their defenses around stopping these guys. It's almost like . . . there was something else happening in these games that caused teams to think single coverage on these guys was a good idea. Derek Fisher's jacked arms and propensity for hard screens?

Kobe inspired a lot of dumb hatred due to early success and being on the Lakers. The Kobe Shaq team was not liked by many (and loved by many.) When it broke up and Kobe had a gap between rings, this led to many claiming he only won because Shaq. (and that he played "the wrong way") Kobe also was hated on for wanting to be the next Jordan. Similar to how LeBron was for picking #23. However, I'd like to take this time to say Dirk would have won more titles with Kobe's teams than Kobe. Dirk and Shaq would have been the most unstoppable duo in NBA history and Dirk wouldn't have helped run Shaq out of town.Intruder posted:I'm certain that a team built around sharing the ball would excel under the leadership of Russell Westbrook Mike D'Antoni would be the best coach Westbrook ever had.

Although the media was (sometimes) softer on him because the "raw stats tell the whole story" reporters hadn't really emerged yet. Ultimately those guys started their careers writing dumb things about Kobe but that started like ten years ago.

Cleaning The Glass looks like it's on pace to be the best hoops blog right now. The new one on Utah/Clippers series: https://cleaningtheglass.com/the-best-adjustment/ has a great clip of Steve Clifford pointing out the utter vacuity of sports journalism. quote:The conventional wisdom of playoff adjustments is that the losing team needs to change something, and if they don’t, their coach must be asleep at the wheel. That conventional wisdom comes from a results-oriented approach: the results didn’t match what you wanted, so you have to change something. But that’s just change for change’s sake, and ignores that what generated those results is part strategy, sure, but also part execution and part plain, old luck.

IcePhoenix posted:How many assists did he have at the end of the game when Houston was catching up and pulling away Yeah for those of us who watched the game there isn't any debate. He went total hero ball from about midway through the third quarter. As much as he dominated the game in the first half, he lost the game in the second.

NBA Playgrounds roster is out. "hundreds more later" No Kobe or Jordan  https://twitter.com/nba_playgrounds/status/855141658026942464 Penny made it into the game. Shocked Seth Curry isn't one of the Mavs initially in game. Only Curry not to make it. I hope classic players that played for multiple teams have different jersey options. It'd be cool to play as Kidd with a Mavs jersey instead of Nets. Robinson is in but not Duncan. Edit: No Steve Nash Spacebump fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Apr 20, 2017 |
