Nobody could guard Shaq in the post. Thats the whole point. If Mutombo was just a weakside shotblocker the 6ers wouldn't have traded Ratliff for him when Ratliff was probably a better weakside shotblocker. You didnt watch any of this shyt and have mo clue what you're talking about.
Sabonis didn't do better against Shaq.
Shaq averaged 28 and 12 against Sabonis for his career. Not a 5 game period at Shaqs peak like we're talking about with Mutombo
Arvydas Sabonis vs. Shaquille O'Neal | Basketball-Reference.com
Mutombo was the best interior defender at the time and the fact that you think he was just some weakside defender shows you have no clue and didnt watch basketball during that time.
I won't even get into you talking about Divac being a better post defender than Mutombo.
You're an idiot
And yet the only number anyone remembers is 5-2 >>> 3-5.
LeBron = Payton Manning of the NBA
Kobe = Tom Brady of the NBA
No one calls Peyton Manning the GOAT despite his superior numbers to just about anyone that has ever played the position. But people say that about Brady. Why?
Cause at the end of the day the only number people remember is the number of rings you win.

Hate? Those are pure facts. Ray Allen and Kyrie Irving hit 2 of the biggest clutch shots in NBA history in elimination games to gift LeBron championship rings.
Kobe or Jordan never had a teammate hit a shot in an elimination game during the final seconds in a do or die moment like Ray Allen in 2013. That shot saved LeBron's legacy.
. Rules actually were changed after the early 2000s when LeBron came into the league to make scoring easier.

Depending on your need there's no wrong choice.
Both electric.
Except that Lebron was actually 21 when that season started. They weren't both 22.
It is a HUGE stretch to say that you're comparing Lebron's 4th season, one of his worst statistically, to Kobe's 5th season, the best of his first 6, just because "they were both 22 by the end of the season."
Shows how ignorant you are on the subject matter since neither Mo nor Delonte was on the Cavs in 2007. Delonte didn't come until the end of 2008, Mo didn't come until 2009. Cavs were actually even worse than you thought. I love arguing "eye test" with people who aren't even aware of which players were in the game.
How stupid is that argument? Shaq is drawing double-teams and that's supposed to make Kobe's statistics worse?
Kobe took 22.2 shots/game in 2001, the year the OP used.
Lebron took 20.8 shots/game in 2007, the year the OP used.
Lebron only had ONE season in his entire career where he took as many shots as Kobe did in 2001...and Kobe took even more, 23.5, in 2003!
So you complain that Kobe was "sharing the ball" with Shaq, even though Kobe took MORE shots than Lebron, was going to be MORE open than Lebron, and had BETTER opportunities for assists than Lebron.
Try to use the fact that Lebron had no one to pass to and no one to draw defenders off him as an argument for why his stats are so much better.
Yes, he is.
What did your eyes tell you? People always propping up stats as the marker, all that, lets me know you didn't see either at that age. I get stats is a cool little talking point but what did your eyes tell you.
fukking delusional bron stans continue to try and rewrite historyNobody wants to see a Shaquille O'Neal and LeBron James P&R. Nobody.
