He was definitely not guarding the best player of the opposing team for majority of min......it looked like at some points even kobe was a defensive liability out there
Thanks Synthetic Sports for this back in the past retrospective videos of the NBA. Can you guys do a retrospective of the Celtics vs Bulls 2009 Eastern Conference Playoff Series.
I'll never forget the one SI cover with Nash and Dwight proclaiming "This is Going to Be Fun!" And to be fair, it was fun, for everyone _except_ the Lakers.
surprised stern didn't just pull the trigger because im pretty sure he would've LOVED the lakers playing in the finals again especially during the kobe era
At least the Clippers became relavent once Chris Paul got there to join Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan the two homegrown stars made the nba playoffs multiple times.
Ah yes the 2013 lakers The day kobe tore his achilles was a very weird day for me. I was at my first concert ever (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu) which was right across the street from Staples Center. I had a good time at the concert for sure but noticed a bunch of Laker fans sad walking back to their cars (the concert ended the same time as the game). I thought the Lakers lost, but damn a loss would have been better than what happened in reality :(
Instead of the risky D’Antoni hire, why didn’t LA just ride out 2013 with Bernie Bickerstaff after the Mike Brown firing? He went 4-1 in 5 games plus had plenty of coaching experience from his days in Denver and Seattle. You can’t tell me he would have fared any worse
At the time i remember that situation where D'Antoni had to gamble on playing Kobe so many minutes. The team was barely holding on even with Kobe playing but when he was off the floor it completely fell apart. The bench was horrible guys like Jodie Meeks, Earl Clark, Darrius Morris, Andrew Goudlock and old Jamison.. that was the bench lmao
I still think the failed Nets superteam of 13-14 is much worse because the future consequences of assembling it include directly helping a division rival win the title a decade later (Celtics through Tatum/Brown)
I wouldn’t say this was one of the worst Superteams because they went down due to injury not because they choked in the playoffs or missed it like some other teams have.
i think its bad moreso for the fact that bringing in an old injury prone nash, and dwight who was almost as unserious as shaq was along side kobe, anyone from the outside could have predicted it not going well, injuries were one thing but it wasnt a very well thought out team even at the time (could you imagine this team going up against the spurs,the heat,the okc?)
@@Kings0424They were only a superteam on paper. Most of the (super)stars on that roster were either injury-prone or years past the best version of themselves. Could they have been better? Sure, a little bit, I guess. But the people who actually thought they would be contenders were fooling themselves. How can a superteam disappoint if the expectations were not high for them anyway?
Why that Chris Paul vetoed lakers trade got vetoed because of the small market owners literally complaining about the Lakers being too good if they get Chris Paul
The loudest voice in that room being Dan Gilbert because he was still salty over LeBron walking. At least he didn't email Commissioner Stern in Comic Sans. XD
CP3 will definitely speak more about that when he out the league bc that cost him a chip. Look what did with Booker and Harden tho Harden didn't listen to him after he got big and big headed
Going to that first Kobe/Dame game at Moda is perhaps my all time favorite live sports event I've attended. The back and forth between Kobe and rookie Dame was merely a delicious appetizer for the heroics Lillard would bestow upon us Blazer fans.
I’ll never forget getting that sports illustrated as a yb reading “this will be fun” and being so excited only to figure out what disappointment was for the first time😂😂
Can you guys do a video about the post-Barkley Suns? I did some BBRef diving today and found some interesting stuff. Namely the fact that for two full seasons they had Nash, Kidd, and Kevin Johnson on the roster. I can only imagine how good they would have been if they had D'Antoni as the coach then.
Hey guys I wanna say thanks for posting this video. I’m in South Georgia and hurricane Helena hit us bad. Still without power and water but I was able to watch the video and it made it a little easier for me so thank you
Kobe did EVERYTHING he could this year, he gave everything. Guarded the best play, never sat the bench, fought through injuries and was the only one who wasn’t offensively challenged. Artest aged, Pau was soft and a bum, Dwight was soft and injured. Nash constantly hurt. Dantoni a complete idiot. This was NOT Kobe fault.
Nash was nowhere the player he used to be by then, injuries or not, so he was not gonna be the game changer that many people thought he would be. A 38-year-old defensive liability with back issues? Be real. It's funny that you call Gasol a "soft bum" even though he was the Lakers' second-best player during Kobe's last two title runs and was still very good at the time, but also dealt with injuries as well. As for Kobe, as much as I love the guy, what WAS his fault was 1) his failure to build a good rapport with Dwight (who is also to blame for that) and 2) running himself into the ground for that team despite knowing that they had no chance of winning anything substantial. He played hard till the end and he deserved all the props for that, but he was not SMART about it.
I love the Donut clip at around 13 minutes. This channel and Donut upload videos pretty much on the same basis, so I watch both videos before bed on upload days. I always thought, "Do these guys watch donut?" And that seems to be the case. Awesome. Cheers, guys!
Say what you want. But Nash's final season with the suns in 2012 was impressive. He was 36 or 37 and was still playing like Nash. I watched damn near every suns game because they were trying to make the playoffs
My theory about the NBA nixing that CP3 trade to the Lakers will never change. League officials were worried that the Lakers could build a team around him and Kobe that would have denied LeBron a championship in Miami. Yes, there were other reasons, but I’ve always believed this was the driving factor.
2k13 that team was goated. Ofcorse that team didn’t work out in reality but injuries, age, & coaching (firing Mike brown early in the season was a bad idea) didn’t help. This was unfortunately the last season of Kobe playing at a superstar level. His body just couldn’t carry the load after playing 30+ minutes to save the lakers season. What a shame.
As a Lakers fan, this hurt to relive. So many expectations, so many boneheaded decisions (even beyond this era Coming off the high of back to back ships in 09 and 10, this was a HUMBLING period of fandom
Don't let a LAL fan see this. A lot of them swear the team never struggled under Kobe & the front office never made bad moves. Losing in the 1st rd. is the worst they've ever been apparently 😆
I remember before the season started Ron Artest said that the Lakers could go "73-9" and it's so painfully ironic that Kobe tore his achilles against the Warriors when they already had the core that could actually go 73-9 just three seasons later.
Him going to the Heat was actually a Sign & Trade. Two firsts (2013 and 2016), two seconds (2011 and 2012), and a first round swap in 2012 that they didn’t take.
Andrew Bynum got injured in a bowling session and couldn't play much for the rest of the season. It was a red flag for the Sixers and they released him even before he could play for the team.
MVP Steve Nash running pick and roll with young Dwight mixed with the 81pt dropping version of Kobe on the same team with a young Ron Artest as a defensive stopper. That team would def be the greatest team of all time
What the Lakers should've done was either 1) trade for Dwight ONLY or 2) re-rool the roster around Kobe and Gasol with younger, better role players, or 3) started the rebuild. Given the way the former option ended, the latter 2 options would've been better.
This is one of Kobe's best season as he got to carry some load until his body gave up on him when he suffered that devastating ruptured Achilles tendon.
Let lakers fans tell it Bron was the downfall of the lakers. The lakers weren’t doing shit for years before Bron got there. Playoff miss after playoff miss and all on Kobe’s watch
I think with the way Kobe was playing with shooting 50.4% EFG dropping 27 a game I fully believe if they had Phil there Kobe and Dwight would’ve gotten to the WCF. And then who knows maybe NBA Finals. Phil got Kobe and Shaq to work. 4 finals. 3 rings. Mamba and d12 would be child’s play imo. Tho that’s if pau and Steve were healthy come playoff time and were a top 3 seed as well. I thought Mike brown got an unfair shake he technically was an improvement from 10-11. Where is in ‘11 the lakers won r1 and then lost 4-0 to the mavs. In ‘12 they won r1 again and managed to put more of a fight vs OKC in ‘12 than Dallas in ‘11. Not getting swept. I think his slow the game down “boring style” would’ve worked better. Kinda mirroring the ‘10 team that was very much a late 90’s kinda team that beat Boston in 7 in ugly but dramatic Hollywood fashion. It would’ve been amazing as a kb fan to see him with 6 rings I think people would have him significantly higher in the top ten if he won in ‘13. Would’ve gone from a top 5-7 player ever to a top 4 player ever at least imo. Would love to see a vid on where Kobe ranks all time for you guys! He definitely has a top five resume 100%
I can't believe I was like 12 or 11 when they built this team. I still remember my dad being so pissed about this. He just wanted the Mavs to win it all 😂.
Coaching and injuries ruined this team. Getting Mike D’antoni to coach a team with Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol is crazy, especially when the team is being facilitated by a past his expiration date Steve Nash and not Kobe Bryant. Nothing about that team made sense.
Instead of the risky D’Antoni hire, why not just let Bernie Bickerstaff (who went 4-1 in 5 games) be interim? He had plenty of coaching experience from his days in Denver and Seattle. 3 HC’s in 1 years is bonkers.
I’m just going to say it as a die-hard Lakers fan, the refs/league definitely chauffeured the Lakers to a playoff birth in 2013, it was obvious when watching that final month of the season. Thats my team but even I can’t deny it
Nash broke his leg and was never the same 1 game in. Kobe had to play PG and was killing it as vino point god but it was too much and he tore his Achilles. They had a shot that year if they got in with Kobe healthy but that was that. Also Howard was coming off back surgery and was not the same player all season.
How was kobe not top 5??? 5 rings and 1 back to back and went to the finals 4 times in a row with shaq and 3 without shaq. And has 5 rings. Lebron has never had a back to back season. And has never won without a hall of famer inductee. The second statment i agree. He shouldve been in 75th anni. He lead the magic alone to the finals. And BEAT LEBRON. he stop the lebron vs kobe match up. Alone.
@iGucik 1.MJ 2.LeBron 3.Kareem 4.Magic 5.Kobe or Bird at 5. And yes dwight 100% top 75. Idk why they dick ride Damian. He's great, but top 75 great, no.
2012-13 Kobe is one of his most impressive seasons very underrated was playing 40Mins guarding the other teams best player every night
Not just that season the season previous was underrated as well.
he said in an interview that it was his best season ever
@@ualreadykno2K that would be 2002-03 in my opinion.
This is just not true bro.....if anything kobe regressed massively defensively post 2010
He was definitely not guarding the best player of the opposing team for majority of min......it looked like at some points even kobe was a defensive liability out there

In honor of Derrick Rose retirement because he was hungry in that series
Would be lit
I'll never forget the one SI cover with Nash and Dwight proclaiming "This is Going to Be Fun!"
And to be fair, it was fun, for everyone _except_ the Lakers.
Adding insult to injury: both Mike Brown and D’Antoni ended up doing well for themselves in post-LA stints with the Kings and Rockets, respectively
Not really insulting. They aren't successful becasue of their coaching ability.
BABE WAKE UP SYNTHETIC SPORTS UPLOADED 🙏🙏🙏
Dwight missed only 6 games that year, playing with a torn labrum and a herniated disk and still led the league in rebounds… but he’s soft 🙄
Mentally, he's soft. Physically, he's a tank. He even talked about this lmao
Bs narratives the nba paints of players . Javalee was just speaking on it on Dwight’s podcast .
@@_rockystart_ How does playing through injury make you mentally soft? Are you mentally slow?
And this was all because the NBA didn’t want the Lakers to get Chris Paul🤦🏾♂️
Kinda understand from an entertainment standpoint. Lakers just won back to back chips and they get even better would kinda make it boring.
@@air_Nah they're coming back from a sweep to Dallas.

Is that the one where he had to shoot free throws before leaving the game?
@@antokarman2064 yeah it was that game

Biggest mistake Dwight ever made was complaining his way out of Orlando- we built the team around him.
I liked that team a lot. 4 3pt shooters amd Dwight was fun for me. Dwight lacked composure.
Nah, that's not his biggest mistake. He wasn't winning any rings in Orlando. Good chance he wasn't making another finals without superstars joining
Orlando should’ve just fired the coach well before Dwight started complaining about things. But I agree he never should have left,
Shout out D Rose for an amazing career, the fun and compassion you brought to basketball will never be forgotten
I still think the failed Nets superteam of 13-14 is much worse because the future consequences of assembling it include directly helping a division rival win the title a decade later (Celtics through Tatum/Brown)
Yea but the players that helped make that happen (Truth,Ticket) came from said rival. So they probably look at it like helping the C’s
As a fan of the team, this was the most disappointing season until the 2021-2022 Lakers came along, that team was truly an abomination
I wouldn’t say this was one of the worst Superteams because they went down due to injury not because they choked in the playoffs or missed it like some other teams have.
Yeah I agree 100%
The Nets super team mostly failed due to injury as well.
@peterdagata1610 Yeah I agree. Me personally I think the 2021-2022 Los Angeles Lakers are the biggest failed superteam in NBA history
i think its bad moreso for the fact that bringing in an old injury prone nash, and dwight who was almost as unserious as shaq was along side kobe, anyone from the outside could have predicted it not going well, injuries were one thing but it wasnt a very well thought out team even at the time (could you imagine this team going up against the spurs,the heat,the okc?)

I watched that game. I couldn't believe that a ROOKIE was going back-and-forth with KOBE. Dame earned his stripes that night.
Was not a Disappointment their record was 28-12 when Pau, Dwight, Kobe, and Steve were healthy. Injuries stopped the dominance.
