@TheNBACentral @FTFonFS1 Unless he's saying leading the nba in assists isn't that big of a deal. Or having an mvp and the third most 60 point games all time isn't that big of a deal, because having more chips means more to a legacy? The more I think about this the more my head hurts.

@TheNBACentral @FTFonFS1 What is he saying exactly? Is he saying Harden is a top 10 player, and if Jimmy wins this, Jimmy Butler will be a top 10 player in the nba and Harden won't be? Because I'm pretty sure Harden just led the league in assists and Jimmy didn't make the all star team.

I know FS1 gotta be sick for letting him walk. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. I say it all the time. I understand why they are being loyal to Skip, but man, that's a big loss. People tune in to see the analysts they like, and Shannon is going to bring a big following.

I don't ever remember a time in my life when a sports analyst was one of the biggest topics in sports. Shannon Sharpe went from winning superbowls to dominating sports debate. There was a 60 year old white man walking through the mall the other day with Shannon Sharpe on speaker.

@NFL_DovKleiman @sportsrapport I will say, at this point, Shannon has a higher ceiling going forward, no denying that. But If you're FS1, you know you're not going to find anyone better than Shannon, so now you're looking for the next Shannon. If it was me, I'd be calling RICHARD SHERMAN everyday.

@NFL_DovKleiman @sportsrapport I feel like you gotta stay loyal to Skip if you're fs1. If you know the back story, Skip did them a big solid leaving ESPN when he did to help them get the network off the ground. Yeah Cowheard was a bigger signing for FS1, but Skip was a big part of the success they've had also.

@ericbshaw @AppleSack1984 @NBAinthezone A top 10 player? In the nba? You don't even know what you were saying. You were trying to minimize Kobe and what he accomplished, so hard that you said Pau Gasol, who has 0 notable career achievements outside the two years with Kobe, was a top ten player in the nba. Ok I'm done

@ericbshaw @AppleSack1984 @NBAinthezone After 8 years in the nba Pau Gasol had one allstar selection as an alternate before he was traded to the Lakers. The man played 8 years and make one allstar game as an alternate. At what point was he a top 10 player? What are you even saying?

@ericbshaw @AppleSack1984 @NBAinthezone The reason I said all star was because that's all Pau has to go on. He never led the league in any category. No mvp, never made a single first team, offense or defense. Never scored 50 points in a game, never finished in the top 5 in ppg. You said this man was top 10 in a season?

@AppleSack1984 @NBAinthezone @ericbshaw Pau Gasol and Kyle Lowry have the same amount of allstar selections, and you're out here saying Pau was a top 10 player in the nba? What year was he top ten? The man never made first team all nba at any point in his career, tell me the year he was a top 10 player?

@NBAinthezone @mainmajin 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@LakersDailyCom I guess 26 points and 14 rebounds a game is shambles now?

@NBAinthezone @ericbshaw You shouldn't talk to people like this, clearly he knows nothing about basketball. Pau Gasol never made an nba first team. Pau never scored 50 in a game. Never led the league in anything. Must be a lebron fan, only a lebron fan would say something that stupid and mean it.

@LakeShowYo Kobe won a chip with a hand that needed surgery and didn't have another player on the team that averaged over 19 in the playoffs. We lost, it is what it is. Can we stop with the excuses?

@uptownace11 @UHaveNoSources @NBAinthezone One all-star selection as an alternate, not backup.

@uptownace11 @UHaveNoSources @NBAinthezone Pau had one allstar selection as a backup before he got to the Lakers, never scored 50 in a game, Pau never made a first team in his career and this man said he was better than back to back mvp Steve Nash. But that's how far they go to discredit Kobe. That's how far they go

@scifyeshawty @UHaveNoSources @NBAinthezone Harden has the third most 60 point games in nba history and has led the league in assists the last 2 years. This man said Pau Gasol who's never scored 50 points in a game is better than James Harden. I don't even know what a good player is anymore

People out here do not know anything about basketball or the history of the game. Dame has more 50 point games than LEBRON JAMES, and this man said Pau Gasol, WHO'S NEVER SCORED 50 POINTS IN A GAME, is better than Dame. This is how far they go to discredit Kobe. #mambaforever twitter.com/UHaveNoSources…

@UHaveNoSources @NBAinthezone Can you name 10 players that Pau is better than that averaged less than 20 points a game in the playoffs? Because Pau never averaged 20 points a game for the Lakers in the playoffs?

@NBAinthezone This is #mambamentality. Nobody playing the game today has this fire. Winning championships isn't that important to any of the current nba players as it was to Kobe

@TheNBACentral @RealJayWilliams Kobe Bryant Smush Parker KWAME BROWN Luke Walton Vladimir Radmanović Pretty sure this is the worst roster in history to make the playoffs but ok. Never seen, he's never seen, this man shouldn't be talking basketball

@TheNBACentral Jimmy Butler is not a top 15 player in the nba. The eastern conference is just garbage

@LADEig @TheAthletic But you would be part of the most storied franchise in nba history, so there's that part. If you win here, you'll be a legend, but if you lose, we will talk about you like you shouldn't have been born. It is what it is. Pressure makes diamonds and destroys everything else

@LADEig @TheAthletic When you play for the Lakers, everything is bigger. You will be the headline for every sports show after every game. There is real pressure when you play here. I don't know if he's built for that. There are CHAMPIONSHIP expectations here, not expectations for you playing well.

@_crowntheking_ @WhozMEECH Is this basketball history class, or maybe this is common sense class. If you add All NBA FIRST TEAM AND ALL NBA FIRST TEAM DEFENSE, KOBE HAS THE MOST EVER. #mambaforever

@LakersDailyCom We need another solid big to pair with AD. I would rather sign Bobby Portis than Kyrie Irving. Another big should be our second priority after signing Reaves and Rui.

@THEEAustynBlack @WhozMEECH Kobe defeated the most 50-win playoff teams in nba history, and he didn't make your top 10. Boy, I swear yall know nothing about basketball, just what you see on espn and fs1 I guess.

@Carlos_Espinal7 @MilesP24 @TheHoopCentral Bruh, anybody makes the basketball hall of fame. It's not even called the nba hall of fame. It's not the nfl lol. I'm pretty sure there are high school basketball coaches in the basketball hall of fame.

@HicksHi69000341 @ByMarkDaniels I think he did, I remember seeing tweets, there was some confusion about what counts as a win on a rep, as far as why there was no touchdowns being reported in the stat lines and,, at any rate, it was last year.
