West 7-8: GSW, SAS, HOU, OKC, MIN, MEM. POR, LAC?, NO?
East: CLE, BOS, MIL, PHI, TOR

Yeah, West gets at least top 7.

we know what you are discussing dum dum. What you don't get is that all those full seasons and minutes break down the body and caused his injuries, bad landings good landings, not to mention the millions of minutes a legendary hard working like Kobe puts in the gym.
If you have ever heard the saying better to keep your mouth shut and have people think you are dumb then open your mouth and remove all doubt. The truth of that statement remains in forums.

more moving goal posts and context dropping.
bad landing mechanics are a contributing factor in ankle and knee injuries.

This is the best time for Giannis+Bucks and Philly to step up and dethrone Lebron. This is the best time to do it:
1. Wide open East
2. Plenty of 1 year contracts expiring next year, as well as FAs who could once again turn the tide
3. Cleveland is in disarray

good move because you can't keep moving the goal posts and dropping contexts.
its just name-calling now.

watch any NBA game after 2010 with Kobe in it and you'll notice his bad landing mechanics.
watching Kobe drop 88 on the Raptors in 2006 and you won't notice it because he hadn't had 3 right knee surgeries and all sorts of other work done on his right knee.

to conclude:

factors in Kobe's injury riddled decline in his 30s.
1. bad landing mechanics
2. aging.

regarding some previous goal-post moves and context drops.

Gotcha, so he had no bad landing mechanics, then he had surgeries, then the bad landing mechaincs that caused his injuries. Totally makes sense now because time is not linear, next level shit you got there.

the severe left leg injuries in his 30s is what i am discussing.
check previous post.

He was around 50000 minutes played when he started breaking down. He was old and he played through injuries when just about every team is sitting even younger players with the same type of injuries. Bad landing mechanics is a very minuscule part of it.

For top 10, I'm thinking:
GSW, SAS, HOU, CLE, OKC, BOS, MIN, POR, DEN, MIL

I'm kinda shaky on the last 5 and I just threw the last 3 in.

Don't forget the CLippers!!

jk..Gallo doesn't make complete sense as he will have a tough time defending the 3 if he plays with Blake and D'Andre Jordan.

But this new PG Teodosic they signed has some sick passing tbh

I don't even know why JJ talks about post-2013 Kobe. Nobody who calls himself a "Kobe fan" would even mention those years as anything remotely significant in Kobe's carreer. That fucking "Lebron is clutchier than injury-years Kobe"... Like, no shit?
"But I saw Kobe chuck a lot of airballs and come down on his left foot when he was really old and tired!!!! Plus-Minus vanilla-chocolate XAPMVORPMPHOMG agree with me." You just sound like a very young basketball fan, JJ.
Kobe was arguably still the best player in the world in 2012-13. He had a nice long career, with a lot of season and playoff mileage, and his #8 and #24 years are both separate HoF careers. Why must you always bring up this "coming down on left foot" thing? Literally no other perimeter player played as many years as well as Kobe.

If marc gasol goes to celtics, do you think they could take down cleveland? I dont think it would be likely, but they would have a chance. Marc is insane.
