The reason I like Chauncey is there wouldn't be a protracted "is this kobe or cp3's team" debate all the time. He would fit in nicely with kobe chemistry wise while I do concede paul is the better overall player. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals
I think Kobe with a prime Nash would've been amazing. Put Kobe on that Suns team (or preferably transplant their players to the Kobe Lakers), I think they would win multiple titles.

Kobe and Paul might have been a beautiful marriage, or they might have gotten into a fist fight two weeks into the season, lol. Despite what Kobe has said, he really, really wants the ball in his hands especially in the clutch, and Paul doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would be okay spotting up in the corner while Kobe went to work from the perimeter or mid-post position.
I don't know. He seemed fine letting Janero Pargo of all people take over the games in the playoffs against San Antonio in 2008
Anti-Kobe in terms of leadership style
3pt sharpshooter
Clutch
Good defender
Has championship experience (finals MVP)
Cool and collected
Small ego (changed his game as he got older too. Became a role player)
Could run the team as the focal point if Kobe was out
No good pg would play well next to Kobe. He plays with the ball in hand. Fisher was right for him. A guy like Kerr would have been great because he could shoot and didn't need the ball.
I really don't understand where this POV comes from. Kobe is probably the most versatile player the game has ever seen. He can flourish in any offense - if you remember when we were running the Princeton offense for a hot minute it was Nash who couldn't handle being the primary playmaker because of his health, not because Kobe couldn't play off ball. The only player on the team who's efficency and play didn't suffer from that offense was kobe, Nash literally just couldn't do it anymore - it wasn't working - so Kobe was forced back into his old role and that's when the wins started piling up and we started to string together some great wins. Kobe can and has flourished in any offense you throw him in - he would welcome playing off ball as much as we would just so long as the person taking over for him is succeeding at their job _________________ "Bryant has been the second best player in the NBA for over a decade, but the number 1 player changes every other year.

If I could pick one guy in his prime, over the last 10 years, it's Chauncey all the way. He would have basically been Derek fisher minus the offensive liability.
Not a true-PG, but a better PG than any Lakers true-PG in the last decades.
Plus, he would not get intimidated by Kobe, can shoot, defend, can be clutch, etc.
Plus, a Kobe-Manu pairing has always been my Nº1 pipedream. _________________ Hymn for the Red October
