The only reason "Big Baby" has three rings is because of Kobe, because Kobe made all the big shots in close games in big games
Kobe is the best player in the NBA
You will never hear Shaqs name when the game is on the line. When was the last time Big Baby made a game winning basket? He just doesnt want the ball in those situations.
I can understand someone saying Kobe is the best player in the NBA - he is awesome - he is very similar to Jordan.
If you want to win an NBA ring well then Tim Duncan gives you the best chance. EVERY GM across the board would take TD first if they were building a team. EVERY GM.
