Have Kobe Bryant already proven himslef as a 1st option?

Question

Absolutey NOT! PAY ATTENTION!
2005 is where Kobe's career as a 1st. option begins(without Shaq). Since 2005 the only thing Kobe has done is MISSED the playoffs in 05(had Odom, Grant, Butler, & Divac), in 06 had a 81 point game(2nd place, NOT RECORD BREAKING! So big deal!) against a far from playoff team and at the time the team was in the bottom 3 teams in defense, became 06 scoring leader(07 he's far from it, he's not consistent) made the 06 playoffs and got put out in the 1st round in a game seven(after having a 3-1 lead in the series & Kobe only scores 1 point in the second half of a game 7, PATHETIC!), & in 07 just making another run for the playoffs! That's Kobe career as a 1st option(in a position as MJ, Magic, Bird). In a 1st option ROLE Kobe has 0 RINGS, 0 mvp's, & 0 playoff success! Wade being a 1st. option has 1 ring, 1 finals mvp, & is SI Sportsman of the Year(only 5 players in the history of the nba can say that: Russell, Kareem, MJ, Dunan, & Wade) No Magic, Bird, or Kobe!

Answer 1

At your funeral they will say, "He was a good person, he dedicated his life to hateing Kobe Bryant, day and night, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, it was like he is infatuated with the man or something"...now a lesson to all you kids out there. Don't be a hater.

Answer 2

Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley were first options and have no championships, so what's your point? And if the Lakers didn't have Kobe in 2000-2002, Shaq wouldn't have won any championships (see Blazers, Spurs, Kings), so give credit where credit is due. And 81 points, 2nd place, and YES> IT's A BIG DEAL, moron. You can be a Kobe-hater fine. But if you respect the game, you need to respect the talent. Otherwise you're just one of those artificial band-wagon fans. I don't like Kobe myself, but saying that he isn't a 1st option player means that you don't know jack s h i t about the game of basketball. Consider this, if Kobe and Wade would have switched places last year, and a more mature and team-playing Kobe surrounded by Shaq, Posey, Payton, **** Walker, White Chocolate, Haslem, and coached by Riley - he would have 1 MVP, 1 Finals MVP, 1 Sportsman of the Year, adn 4 Rings. WAKE UP!

Answer 3

Yeah... playoff success is a team role. Kobe had absolutely no one else to help (although yes, he should've had more than 1 against the Suns in the second half... dreadful). You ask all 30 NBA GMs, and any of them would be happy with Kobe as their first option (and the only ones that may not are teams who already have outstanding #1s, a la Wade).

Answer 4

considerin last year kobe did not have anyone else to be a first option, yes he was a good first option...phoenix had one the most annoyin n best defenders on kobe with raja bell, n had 2 first options in marion n nash...although they were up 3-1 n should have finished it, u cant blame it on kobe because he only has one other player, odom, who can still run the floor

Answer 5

yes he is a team player
