17-18 warriors had a deep ass bench too they were more skilled and talented give Kobe and shaq 70 points combined where the others gonna be at? Plus they couldn't handle todays speed and conditioning
They ain't even mention KLAY. but on a serious note, KD might just be the most efficient player to ever play in the league. That dude is a 7 footer that has handles, threes, freethrows, etc. KD is an absolute menace. Nobody has to worry about Shaq he can do is dunk. So let Shaq get his dunks, then contain Kobe. But the warriors are filled with elite scorers and snipers and defenders.
the 2017-18 warriors are the greatest team ever assembled. never before have you had 2 top 5 players in their primes on the same team while also having 2 additional legitimate all stars, one of which is a dpoy, and then the insane depth that they also had with the likes of iguodala and shaun livingston. other teams may have won more games but there’s legitimately no greater collection of talent on a single roster outside of team usa basketball.
Y'all delusional, ain't nobody beating this warrior team. Shaq can score 100 pts at the pint and Kobe can go crazy as he wants, ain't nobody beating a team with 2 lethal sniper and a derange and almost unstoppable scorer in it 🤷🏾♂️
The only reason people say the warriors were unbeatable and unstoppable is to support LeBron being swept by a team that was "sooo much better". Forgetting the fact that Houston was about to hand them their asses. People fail to note the player gap that made the warriors and cavs so much different. Hell according to damn near everyone in sports media that year, LeBron was the best player on the planet and Kyrie was better than Steph. Thats two superstars against two superstars last i checked. Same people saying greatest team ever was saying Draymond is a glorified role player and Klay was never a true all star. 😂😂😂 Only after the warriors busted open the cavs ass and KD got that ring, (pulling up in Bron face n blowing pass him for dunks) people screamed it was unfair. But again same people were saying Kd should have teamed up with LeBron 😂😂😂 like wtf! The team wasnt unbeatable nor was it the same 73-9 team who freaking lost to the Cavs btw. Remember Kyrie dropping 30+ point game, 40+ point game and hitting the game winning shot to beat um. Afterwards LeBron saying that made him the goat🤣 golden stare lost two starters to add KD. So you telling me even James Harden colder than LeBron? The Lakers and that 96 bulls squad would run a train on Golden state.
There is no guarding any super star in any era. It’s a collective team effort to develop defensive plan to make them uncomfortable only to fatigue and slow them down. No one in GSW can guard Shaq one on one, so is anyone in LA can guard KD + Splash Brothers. 01 LA run simple triangle offense and 18 GSW runs more complicated version of that 5 out offense. We all know the result. GSW in 6.
Just who is guarding who? Kd ain’t guarding shaq he’s too pussy enough to play PF as a 7fter neither is dray iggy or klay and curry can’t guard for shit he ain’t guarding Kobe only player that has a chance of locking Kobe up is kd then pass to shaq no ones guarding that

Steph ain’t never carried Klay before injury klay is the reason they went to the finals 3 times game 6 11 threes vs okc game 6 down against Houston 8 threes year right after that game 6 against Houston with cp3 again 9 threes dude is a alien when healthy
2s beat 3s and they had zaza he doesn't have to stop shaq just slow him down a bit. The 18 warriors had firepower like nothing we've ever seen.And he's forgetting prime 34 in a quarter klay with defense. Damn!
Nah actually thinking about it that lakers team is getting clapped. KD, Klay, Andre, and dray were not bums on defense. It was team defense but they were not bums. Neither were the lakers guys but they weren’t as good defensively as that GS team plus GS ran the fast break to perfection.
To be honest itys tough the Lakers at that time had the best defensive players like shaq and kobe not to mention kobe is a scorer as well and a athletic shaq hes already dangerous. Then you got offensive shooters like curry, klay, and kevin they could shoot from anywhere. I think in my opinion shaq and kobe could give them a hard time
Let's get one thing straight. No one on that GSW team can guard Shaq. No one. Now that we have that out of the way, let's look at who's going to stop Kobe. He said Iggy. Iggy ???? Smfh….
Nothing on that GSW team would have been too hard to stop by that Laker's team. NO-thing …NO-ONE !!!!!! STFU!!!!
Let Shaq Get the down low points, And guard the perimeter. The Spacing on those teams were unstoppable. Kobe and Shaq can get their points. But It’s too much for that Lakers team to deal with
What everyone keeps forgetting is the fact that shaq required you to have so many centers on your roster just to eat up fouls.
What are you going to do when both draymond and bogut or whoever was center got into heavy foul trouble trying to guard shaq?
And lets not pretend warriors willl be shooting 100%. Lakers had a good defensive team back then. While steph and durant were still going to get their points, we cant ignore defenders like fisher, kobe, etc.
Shaq will be feasting. Warriors are no defensive juggernaut. Kobe and shaq will be feasting.
The warriors definitely win tbh even with Kobe and Shaq only one of them can score at once like get hot at once and who is going to guard Steph klay and kd? Not Kobe by himself if Kobe guards Steph who’s gonna guard kd if Kobe guards kd who is going to guard Steph Kobe himself said he wasn’t able to figure out how to guard kd before he left so it stands to reason a younger less experienced Kobe wouldn’t figure out how to guard kd either shaq and Kobe are extremely proficient scorers but they just don’t have the teamwork

3 more then 2 both ways
The Warrior entire team would have fouled out by half-time against Shaq. It took AI the greatest game of his life for the lakers to even lose one.

Warriors eat any kobe/shaq team
This the thing Shaq would foul out all GSW big men

Can't beat the shooters… Something I realized my whole basketball life… My life not general
Nick young kobe haters igoudala guard kobe huh! Kobe says easy money easy money
Nobody could stop prime 8 Kobe from that squad & the warriors fell apart foh

This goof said iggy? You gonna put an 2018 iggy on a prime Kobe wooooooow. Sweep
People really think shaq is just gonna drop 100 points and carry. Kobe can only guard one of the two, and even then there’s still Klay as well.

6 games y’all decide on that

Helloo. Kobe. Anyone. Whos gonna guard him.
Steph ain’t never carried Klay before injury klay is the reason they went to the finals 3 times game 6 11 threes vs okc game 6 down against Houston 8 threes year right after that game 6 against Houston with cp3 again 9 threes dude is a alien when healthy
Who's guarding Kobe? He said. IGODUOLA. Stfu 😂😂😂😂 Kobe would BBQ them. And the 1996 Bulls would roast the 18 Warrior's.
This man said Igoudala. He said Kobe, not Lebron 😂
2s beat 3s and they had zaza he doesn't have to stop shaq just slow him down a bit. The 18 warriors had firepower like nothing we've ever seen.And he's forgetting prime 34 in a quarter klay with defense. Damn!
You have to guard Kobe he would shoot them out of the game. Like he did against the pistons.

Swaggy P always have that funny vibe when he talks I love it 😂😂
2012 Heat
D Wade on Steph
Bron on KD
Bosh playing paint for extra help
FT line
Jordan and pippen

Idgaf ain’t nobody stopping shaq and Kobe 💯
No one is guarding Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Kareem or Wilt. These guys today have no chance against those legends.

Derek Fisher could guard anyone!
Just don’t ask Steph to guard anyone because it isn’t happening.

No hate to kobe but igoudala could guard him fine warriors def win shaq isnt enough no one saying he wont go off but
Hell Nawl no defense Laker would kill GS they to soft
All I gotta say is 3 is more than 2 🤷♂️ im just saying 🤷♂️
This Warriors team needed SEVEN games to beat the Rockets in the WCF. And for some reason someone thinks they'd beat Shaq & Kobe.
