Does Kobe have nothing left to prove? 

Post#1 » by kobesmyhomie » Fri Jun 26, 2009 10:08 pm

All of us know that ever since Shaq left the Lakers, Kobe always had something to prove. Every year he proved something different except for winning as the main guy on the team. Now that Kobe has won a ring without Shaq does he have anything left to prove?

Yeah, that's all Kobe played for. To beat Shaq.

MJ has six. We all know that Kobe wants at least six or seven.

As long as he's in a uniform he has a lot to prove.

If Kobe really wanted to "beat" Shaq in the titles count, he's only tied.

If Shaq wins with Lebron, +1 for Shaq. Kobe = 4, Shaq = 5.

So yes, Kobe still has something to prove if he wants to beat Shaq.

At the end of the day, if Kobe is playing he wants to win.

Lol..I don't think he has anything to prove. He just wants to win more rings and be the best he can be. Basically, cement himself as the greatest non-center player since Jordan.

Like everyone before said, to beat Jordan and his 6 rings. If I was Kobe, I still am for championships and to become the best ever. It's easier said than done.

Jordan is still top dawg.

Of course Kobe has something left to prove. He only has 4 rings. He wants to cement his legacy as one of the Top 5 NBA players ever to play the game of basketball. His goal is at least two more rings to tie Jordan and additional rings to surpass that achievement.
