I watched every single Laker game back in 2006-2007 season. Took Phil Jackson til the final week of the regular season to take out Smush Parker from the starting lineup lol
@JCA1147 I can imagine you being sick to your stomach seeing Smush Parker in the starting lineup. Nothing against Smush, of course, but homeboy was not ready for the bright lights, and he's way too inconsistent.
Watching these games back then, I realize how kobe’s body didn’t handle a longer career. Dude was contorting, splitting, doing incredible moves just to score. Mainly because the lakers wasted his prime with trash rosters. If he had half the amount of help lebron got for majority of his career, no doubt he would’ve not torn that achilles and had a longer career.
At 0:09, look at the lineup the Lakers had in that game. Besides a decent but inconsistent Odom, Kobe had underachievers like Luke Walton, Jordan Farmar, and Kwame Brown as his fellow starters. In the 2007 playoffs, Odom was the only Laker player besides Kobe to average double digit points per game. Walton was averaging 7 points in 26 minutes per game, Farmar was averaging 6 points in 22 minutes per game, and Kwame was averaging 9 points in 27 minutes per game. Those numbers and a 24th ranked defense the Lakers had as a team in the 2006-07 season why the Lakers didn't have a chance at going far in the playoffs that year, let alone beat the Suns (ranked 1st in total offense and had the highest ppg on offense in all of basketball that year).
@ 🤣I see the new thing on the internet is to just to say anything dumb that comes to your mind and hopefully if said enough it will stick!🤣I actually love the black Mamba so I won’t allow your delusion to make me say anything bad about Kob!so I’ll let you lie to yourself since that will make you feel better about yourself!🤣
whut Ant has a solid team, Kobe's team here barely better than a rec center team. You should know that if you're a LeBron. Even I as a non LeBron fan can admit that LeBron did carry some sorry ass teams. Kobe did some hard carry too
this is very evident that if kobe had the help Lebron had, shooters and defenders all around him, post shaq era... no doubt he would have like 7-9 rings. no question. the nba stepped in from cp3 joining him. we've never seen that before or after lol. wild🤣🤣
I love Kobe but it’s nothing Kobe has analytically or accolades wise that Jordan isn’t better!The numbers across the board are better aside from 3 point percentage and I believe free throws!Otherwise it’s Jordan by a mile!Championships,Mvp’s,scoring titles,averages,Per,etc!
You know you have a weak lineup when Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, and Kwame Brown are your starters That's your proof Kobe had to sneak an underachieving roster into the playoffs in the 2006-07 season
@stonecold316339 I do, but that's not what I meant. What I meant was, yes, Kobe Bryant blew a 3-1 series lead against the Phoenix Suns in 2006, but do we care? The correct answer is no, for two reasons; 1. The Lakers were the 7 seed, and the roster was straight hot garbage with Kwame Brown as the starting center and Smush Parker as the starting point guard, and a bunch of young guys with little or no playoffs experience, except for Luke Walton and Brian Cook who played in the NBA Finals and Lamar Odom who had playoffs experience when he was with the Miami Heat led by rookie Dwyane Wade.(side note: these aren't excuses, these are honest to God facts). 2. We got over it or swept it under the rug because 4 years later at that time, Kobe and the Lakers got their get back against the Suns in 6 games in the western conference finals with Pau Gasol, Ron "Metta World Peace" Artest, and Shannon Brown. Overall, there's no shame blowing a 3-1 series lead in the first round as the 7th seed, when you lowkey have a trash ass roster. Don't get me wrong, to this day, I'm still surprised that the Lakers in the 2005-06 season were able to rack up 45 wins to get the 7 seed, to go along with Kobe's historic black air force activity scoring rampage, but if we're being brutally honest here. If we're really going to call it spade of spades, the '06 Los Angeles Lakers had no business being up 3-1 against 2 seed(should have been a 4 seed) Phoenix Suns squad without Amar'e Stoudemire, but yet they did and we gotta commend them for almost doing the impossible because that Suns team was stacked.
@@jonathanwilliams0824 When LeBron had a weak team in Cleveland u Kobe fans called it excuses so miss me with that. Plus Odom was averaging 19 and 11 that series
@stonecold316339 True, but I'm not like the other Kobe fans or LeBron fans. I never made excuses for LeBron having a weak team in his first stint in Cleveland because we all know who's to blame. We all know what the common denominator was; it was the Cleveland Cavaliers front office. The same thing goes for the Los Angeles Lakers front office. Granted, LeBron did more with what he had with guys like Big Z, Zydrunas Illgauskas, Drew Gooden, Daniel "Boobie" Gibson, Mo Williams, Sasha Pavlovic, Anderson Verajao, Donyell Marshall, Damon Jones, Eric Snow, Anthony Parker, JJ Hickson, Larry Hughes, etc. However, when Kobe was doing his thing with a trash ass roster of his own in his 3 years without Shaq, do you know who his teammates were outside of guys like Lamar Odom, Luke Walton, Caron Butler, Sasha Vujacic, Andrew Bynum, and Jordan Farmar? Obviously, he had Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Brian Cook, Rony Turiaf, and Mo Evans, but he also had Tierre Brown, Chucky Atkins, Brian Grant, Deavon George, Jumaine Jones, Aaron Mckie, and Vlade Divac who was way past his prime. Are you kidding me? It's stuff like this that should have both the Lakers and Cavaliers front office arrested and stand trial for crimes against basketball humanity.
That trash ass roster should have had the Lakers front office arrested and put on trail for crimes against basketball humanity.

Fucking right
@user-jo2kd3dp8m Ain't that the truth!?

Thankyou for uploading
skill wise kobe's tm8's weren't up to par, but the iq and understanding of the game, way higher than most players
Odom and Walton that's it

The only game the won that series. And blew a 3-1 lead last year.

Bravi
Did lakers win series?
Nope. The Lakers won this game but lost the series 4-1. This was the only win for the Lakers in the 2007 playoffs against the Suns.
kobe better than jordan button >>>>>>>
No dought
🤣🤣33.4 is Jordan’s career scoring average in the playoffs!Most 50 point games 8 in the playoffs!Stop it!
Jordan once averaged 45 in a series!What are we talking about here?

You must be 11 😂😂😂
You know you have a weak lineup when Jordan Farmar, Luke Walton, and Kwame Brown are your starters
That's your proof Kobe had to sneak an underachieving roster into the playoffs in the 2006-07 season
Helicopter crash destroys Kobe
Time out
I remember when he blew a 3-1 lead to the Suns 😂
Save that for someone who cares, respectfully.
