    Kobe’s 40-Point Streak (2003):
    9 Games (7-2):
    44.0 ppg, 2.6 spg, 0.9 bpg, 49.6% FG, 47.1% 3PT, 83.2% FT.
    One of the best two-way players ever. And, I don’t care what anyone thinks, Kobe and Shaq prevented each other from winning MVPs from 2001-2004.

    The KD question was interesting. If Kobe had done something similar during his run it would have been like if Kobe had gone to the Spurs and won chamionships and then been like “ha! See?! I can win without Shaq!” But everyone would have been like “yeeeeeeeeeeeah, I mean technically yeah. But you’re also playing with three all stars”. If KD had left OKC and gone to another team and led them from scratch to a title, adding a big man like Kobe did with Pau and maybe some good role players then people would have a very different opinion of KD today. Leading a team to a title, instead of jumping on the bandwagon

He easily would have been the goat, especially if he worked out more bc we’d of gotten a mix of young athletic Shaq and his prime dominant self rolled into one. Combine that with possibly better post work and even just slightly better free throw shooting and you’re talking about a man crafted by the basketball gods himself.

    I mean its not hard to see Shaq getting jealous of Kobe's streak. If you watch that Orlando Magic 30 for 30 documentary, when Shaq got hurt in what '95 and Penny went on that impressive streak and got some endorsements, then the lil penny commercial Shaq was totally jealous.... He just didn't like seeing other people having success and getting theirs, not even due to selfish reasons but they HAD to do what they needed to fill the void of him being out and its like he wasn't having that.. That attitude can rub a ton of people the wrong way.. No wonder Kobe wanted his ass out of LA. Shaq was a spoiled child..
    At the same time I get it from Shaqs perspective, Shaq made everyones life easier, Penny didn't win without him and he would have been justified had Kobe not won his rings with Pau and Lamar in 09 and '10. But still, Shaq was so immature though the team mentality seemed like something he didn't embrace as much as he could.
    Imagine Kobe with a Hakeem Olajuwon or a David Robinson in his prime. Two men who came from humble backgrounds with Robinson being in the military and Hakeem being just a soft spoke yet intelligent man from Africa who played and moved with the smoothness and intelligence of a performer...
