Start a franchise, who would you build around?

Gasol can anchor a defense and rebound in the playoffs, Amar'e can't. Dr.J/Gasol.

But Kobe won in the big leagues and Dr. J couldn't, at least not as the man.

Kobe>Dr. J

So I'll take the 2 guys that are better.

I've got Dr J ahead of Kobe all-time at 10th place (with Kobe between 11-15) and Gasol ahead of Amare pretty clearly. I'd certainly think Doc and Gasol mesh more.

Glad for the insight into your reasoning process. You didn't even need to look at the other names...

Dr J and Gasol fairly comfortably.

lol yes he is

on what planet is 25 ppg on 66%!!!!! TS with 9 rpg and 2 bpg is not better than 18 on 60% and 11 rpg with 2 bpg?

on what planet does Gasol put up 42, 41, 37, 34 and 31 against prime Tim Duncan in playoffs?

on what planet does Gasol average 30, 11 with 2 bpg and 62% TS in playoffs?

yeah. amare is clearly better. Gasol is not a much better defender than prime Amare to make up for huge offensive loss.

Thats why he is called STAT. Numbers are only numbers, when your sidekick can score, pass, run, and play defense when it really cares, you know who's the best player. I'm 100% sure, Kobe prefers Gasol instead of Amare. Gasol is more complete than Amare, you dont need a scorer like Amare shooting jumpers when Kobe Bryant leads your team.

I would take Kobe and Amare because Kobe is the best player out of the 4 mentioned by a wide margin.

You must have missed the part where I said we were including ABA Dr J. So yeh, not so much.

No I didn't miss that part, Kobe in his prime would murder Dr J and its not even close.

Ah. So you just don't know who prime Dr J was. Ok, got you.

Here is a good place to start your research: http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/NYA/1976.html

Dr J/Pau OR Kobe/Amare?
