To a small segment of fans, maybe. To most people, especially casual fans, the Lakers defined those years.

I don't think anyone every said that during that timespan A.I. or T-Mac was the best player though
Both players best years individually were better than Kobe's however.
I think from 04 to 11, from that timespan it's been Lebron. If someone said Duncan though I wouldn't be opposed to that.

Ok i'll agree to that. I dont think Nash deserved to win it twice.

Since this superbowl is over and the NBA is dead today, another debate for you guys...
When will Chris Paul stop getting a pass?

The Lakers? Sure they dominated that time period.
But individually? As far as basketball players are concerned? Allen was the most polarizing player in the league during that time arguably.

Winning rings =/= face of the league
mike vick had a stint where he was the face of the league but he was never a top 5 qb

Another one of the things I have a problem with. I personally think Steve Nash deserved both of those league MVP's the years he won it. People actually try to say Kobe deserved it during those years

tmac is debatable, kobes top 3 years > iversons best year PER wise. there are other ways to determine how to rank individual years but iverson has never had a year that is clear cut better than kobe's best.
how was lebron better than kobe from 04-10?

if we are talking about polarizing then kobe is by far the greatest player in NT history
being polarizing has nothing to do with basketball though, iverson has never been the clear cut best player in the league either

people only "hate" on scorers
see melo, iverson, kobe, tmac, lebron
no one hated on nash or stockton for never winning anything

Iverson hasn't ever been the clear cut best player but many people thought he was better than Kobe during a time and vice versa. Iverson definitely had stints though were he was more popular/polarizing than Kobe during the 2000's.

people "hate" on scorers because things like winning an mvp with ricky rubio shooting numbers happen.

Russell and Chamberlain shared their era
Kareem really shared his era with Dr.J
Bird and Magic really didn't have their own individual era either
If you say Lebron's era started in 2008, it was definitely shared with Kobe til like 2011 and he may be about to share it with KD now

Iverson's season wasn't even close to what KD and LeBron are doing right now, and when someone was leaps and bounds better like Shaq was then no he wasn't worthy.So if Lebron wins the MVP this year that means KD wasn't worthy. Oh Ok
Read what I said. There are a few players year in and year out that are 'worthy' of the MVP

My point wasn't to compare A.I.'s season to KD and Lebron. All I was saying was that there are definitely times when a player wins the MVP and there are other players who are worthy of the MVP.
Any way you wanna cut it, 31 a game on the best team in the east is MVP worthy.

if melo is on a trash team and he cant get past the first round
and cp3 is on a trash team and cant get past the first round
why does melo get more "hate"?

I said this before, kobe isnt nothing but melo with a better career
Magic is nothing but Penny with a better career
