34-48 in '04-05 good for LAST place in the Pacific.
I almost forgot that the stans were also revisionist historians.
how are you niggas putting yao in the mix over mutumbo?
mutumbo.
Yao is the second best center the decade by default. Him and Shaq are the only real centers in the league.
All these other 7 footers want to shoot jumpers.
I can think of a lot worse teams with second and third best players worse then Odom and Butler... Say, the '07 Cavs that went to the conference finals for one.
Also notice that Kobe shot 43% and averaged over 4 fucking turnovers
Also show me another team where someone averaged 27 while 2 others averaged at least 15 and they lost that many games in the last 10 years lmao ya'll will do anything to hold up Kobe. Admit it. He couldn't be the man just yet. It's cool man, everyone isn't built like Mike and Lebron, it takes time for some... like until u turn 27 lmao

06 and 07 Sonics had Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis averaging over 20 a game and Chris Wilcox averaging around 14 ppg as the third scorer. Those teams won 31 & 35 games.
Scoring averages have absolutely nothing to do with how good a team is.
We all know the West has been a much stronger conference by far since Jordan left.
Its much harder to make the playoffs in the West.
You know this, I know this, we all know this.
We know this but any reasonable person can look at the Conference standings this decade can see this.
Numbers don't lie.
J Kidd?
KG?
AI?
Kobe?
Damn rab, I know you hate bean but to hate on KG too?
who's hating? you'd actually put allen iverson on an all DECADE team? tobe's not even in the discussion.
IMO, the only legit candidates you suggest are kevin garnett and jason kidd.
but compare shaquille o'neal and kevin garnett side-by-side and you see shaquille o'neal was other-worldly.
and off topic, but why is it that everyone mercilessly knocks shaquille o'neal for not improving on his FTs, but we never see the same level of contempt for jason kidd never developing a credible outside threat (as earvin johnson did)?
Never finished in Last place cuzz. Stop it.
c'mon. you better than that.
or at least i thought you were.
JAMES: Congratulations King Kobe on your continue success
KOBE: Thank you ninja.
Later
Why won't this ninja, go away.
at the same time
BIRD: I think he may be the greatest.
JORDAN: I think your right.

It really doesnt Matter. Kobe is the best player this Decade.
A Dominate Shaq played subpar against the best teams in the west (aka the best teams in the NBA: kings, spurs, blazers) during the 3 peat.. If it wasnt for Kobe OUTPLAYING Shaq in the Western conference playoffs throughout the 3peat, there would be no 3peat.
Period.

Ninja they was tied for last!!
And I thought you were referring to the western conference, my bad.
Who said it was??? It's just the first notch in the belt on the way to multiple All-NBAs and MVPs.
Neither was All-NBA every year of their careers AND Top 5 in MVP voting 4 of their first 6 years. Both only finished in the Top 5 twice over their entire careers. With Kidd the only one finishing higher than 4th once.
That would exclude most NBA players.

The reigning MVP and leading (active) career scorer.
how the fuck is iverson and kidd over billups?
billups has been in the ECF or WCF damn near every year this decade
1 tittle
1 finals mvp
1 season mvp which he got jerked on
what has iverson and kidd done?

You did. You implied that Rookie of the Year was one of Lebron's accomplishments that should place him on an All-Decade team. And he did not win multiple MVPs during the previous decade.
Lebron finishing in the Top 5 in MVP voting in 4 of his first 6 years proves my point. He was a great player for less than a decade, so why should he be on an All-Decade team. The list should reflect people who have performed at a high level over the course of the decade, not just the previous 4 years.
Exactly why there are only 10 names on the list, out of the hundreds of players who played in the preceding 10 years.
Makes sense to me. If I had to have a point guard I would take Nash over AI.I think the list was perfect. I'm a big Dirk Fan. Dallas needs to move him to center though. He would be unstopable if he has a decent power forward to play with him. Wade is all that and a bag of mister Gibbles potato chips.

duncan EASILY, look at those that he played with and count how many will make the hall, or even sniff 1st team all nba even ONCE
Kobe is all that, but player of the decade is duncan imo
and nash IS NOT a better player than AI, over the last decade
and lebron is NOT over garnett over the last decade....hes too young
Black people get educated, become sportwriters, as we sooo need a better product and alternative opinions in the media
this shit is getting out of hand

It was just the first accomplishment of MANY, including 5 straight All-NBA nods!!! Which part don't you get??? He's been honored in every way possible.
Who said he did??? He won one and was a top contender three other times. And a Top Ten finisher the other two. He's been in the MVP race every year of his career.
Huh??? It proves that he was a DOMINANT player for ALL 6 years of his career. You don't have to play in EVERY year of a decade in order to be judged one of its best.
No, the list is about players who dominated DURING the decade, and not throughout its entirety. James has been THE most significant NBA player of the last 6 years, which is a majority of the decade.
And LeBron is rightfully one of them. Even if he'd only played 3 years he'd be on this list because he's been such a phenom. How can you exclude the leading active scorer (and 3rd best all-time)?
An All-Decade Team isn't just about someone playing every year of a decade. It's about a player's standing WITHIN that decade.

I thought you were an Iverson stan, sorry.
Kobe belongs on there for making the playoffs with what was essentially a WNBA squad.
Twice
Smush Parker
Kwame Brown
Brian Cook
Devean George
Stanislav Medvedenko
Laron Profit
Chris Mihm
The only other legit NBA player on that roster was Lamar, and he's iffy.
Kobe deserves the top spot for this alone, quit hating.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_2000.html
Against the Blazers in 00' Kobe had 2/9, 5/15, and 4/13 games
http://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_2001.html
Kobe definitely outshined Shaq offensively in 01' against the Spurs, but Shaq wasn't close to subpar, he still averaged his 25+, 10+
http://www.basketball-reference.com/playoffs/NBA_2002.html
Against the Kings, Kobe had games where he shot 9/21, 8/24, 11/29 and 10/26(in game 7)
Kobe was definitely important to those championships, but what you sayin' just ain't true
anytime u can take smush parker and kwame brown to the playoffs TWICE you are the fucking man.I thought you were an Iverson stan, sorry.

It should be either Duncan or Shaq. There is no way that Mr. Bryant should be the player of the decade. He wasn't even the finals MVP with Shaq on the team. SMH... oh well.
