Has Boogie came out and said Kobe is his favourite/most respected player of all time or something?

U wut...
I’d take Cousins over JV even after his injury.
The guy is unstoppable


He is, but he stops himself, he's selfish, he doesn't defend, hes a locker room cancer, and he doesn't care about rebounds unless they land in his chubby paws and lead to an easy basket. I'd worry about how his character would affect the team.

I'm not denying any part of his talent. But I don't see him as a champion. He could be the best player on a championship team but I doubt the team would be stable.

e: To clarify: I don't see him as a champion by character. By talent, yes.

Even with all that. I’d still take him over JV. Because I don’t think JV will ever make the playoffs by leading a team.

And I like Cousins because the one Kings game I went to was when he scored a career high.
Also it was the game when he got ejected and then got called back due to stupid refs.
It was the best live game I’ve watched.

you're kind of missing my point. youre saying todays nba is faster and much more athletic. while you acknowledge the fact that orlando shaq was agile and a freak of nature physically. im saying orlando shaq aka rookie shaq wouldve been able to easily adapt to the new nba but the lakers/heat shaq we see is all he needed to be to dominate the game. embiid is good but to compare him to shaq is disrespectful. even if we're talking about year 2000 shaq (shaq started in 1996 and embiid in 2014 and today being 2018, 4 years later would make 2000 shaqs 4 year anniversary) shaq wouldve already had 6 allstars, 1 championship, 1 finals mvp, 1 mvp and 2 scoring titles.


Actually my bad. Shaq left Orlando in 1996 and drafted in 1992. I didn't grow up with him on magic, only saw his tapes.

I wonder if he's ever going have a "give me the f*cking ball and let me step on this fried chicken" day where he goes off for 70. I always wanted Shaq to do that. He had some days where he destroyed everything around him but despite his stellar career he never had that one big game I thought he'd have. Post defenders were better and better able to get away with more back then but he could've had a massive night at some point if he called for it. Kobe scored 60 at about 500 years old--Shaq should've gotten his at some point during his prime.

When did cousins ever carry the kings to anything ?

They were one of the worst teams year after year after year

Nice facts to back up your argument

Thanks for clarifying with evidence of your claim.
