Kobe Bryant DID NOT deserve player of the decade
#9
You guys Shaq was not consistent for all 10 years. he was dominant for 5 or 6 and played so-so for the last 4 or 5, taking many games off in the regular season.

Kobe on the other hand never took much time off, has been way more consistent statistically the shaq, more all-nba teams, more all-nba defensive teams, pretty much tore up the scoring books for a couple of seasons when he didnt have any talent around him scoring 35.4 ppg, which is the 7th highest season ppg ever in league history behind only Wilt top 6 and Jordan 37 ppg. He could have easily won more than one MVP in the past decade, but much of the media disliked him because of his image early in the 2000s.

Yes Shaq was the focal point in the Lakers 3 titles, but does that completely diminish what Kobe did in those 3 peat days? You have to take everything into account for the decade just not Shaqs 3 best years of his career. Kobe won the 4 titles, easily the best overall talent and scorer from 2000-2009 on a consistent basis. More clutch than Shaq and Duncan combined.

Kobe has a right to be the player of the decade. Lets not forget the 81 pts ...2nd most point ever scored after Wilts 100 pts.
