Only crakkkas talk about the gawd that you. Its in your DNA to not know the game like black men do. Stop talking about something you can't relate to.
There's a reason every black NBA player worships Kobe. As a black man I can understand that. You white boys simply can never understand so stop trying.
Wade at 23 won a title with a 35 year old Shaq
League got weaker in 2006.
The NBA was at its peak from 1988-2004.
Early 2000s NBA was brutal. Especially out west.
How hard are we talking

If Shaq wasn’t being a bytch and let Kobe take over, the same way he willingly let Wade take over one year later in Miami
Shaq would’ve never had to leave LA. He would’ve retired a Laker. He would’ve won 6-7 rings. And this Kobe-Shaq argument would’ve been deaded because Shaq would’ve had respect being the better player in the early 2000s and Kobe would’ve had respect for being the better player in the late 2000s as Shaq slowed down. But Shaq was a cornball who couldn’t see the long term. That’s why he retired being completely irrelevant on whatever team he last played for (who cares or knows) and Kobe got a year standing ovation Tim Duncan and Kobe
on the same team from 2000 to 2016 with Young Kawhi there too at the end 
It's like you designed that take to be bad.
1988 was the EXACT moment they started diluting talent with expansion teams. SIX teams were added from 1988 to 1995, the fastest that had happened in league history. Offense got so notably bad in response they had to shorten the 3pt line.
Not to mention that's also when all the major 1980s stars (Kareem, Bird, Moses, Magic, Isaiah) started fading away without clear replacements at their level outside of Hakeem and MJ.
And 2004 was the last peak year? Even though a raw version of the Pistons won the 2004 Finals easy while a BETTER version of that team got beat in 2005? Your take is dumb as fukk off that alone. Not to mention that the Spurs team that won in 2005 and 2007 was BETTER than the one that won in 2003 by a long shot.
You have the Knicks, Pacers, Sixers, Nets, and Nets again making the Finals in consecutive years at the NBA's "peak". You have lazy-ass Sheed as the leading scorer of the best team in the "brutal" West and Antonio Daniels as the #2 option on a WCF team at the NBA's "peak".

I ain't gonna lie, as a longtime Kobe Stan I finally came to terms that LeBron is the overall better player.

Yep. Both great. Lebrons just better tho. Nothing wrong with that. Doesn’t take away from Kobe’s greatness. Some of these stans need to get out their feelings
The eye test is something you white folks struggle with. Sorta like rhythm. But its something we can see.
The 1988 Pistons was the first modern NBA champ that I saw. Their style and athleticism was ahead of its time. Then we had Jordan's Bulls the greatest teams of all-time. Then Kobe and Shaq's Lakers. During that era you had peak athleticism, physicality, and defense. After the '04 Pistons the league got softer. There was less physicality. There was less athleticism. Now its entirely pussified 3-point shooting crap.
Staying on beat ain't that hard for a black man. Neither is seeing who can play and who can't. However, this seems to be difficult for cacs which is why yall struggle at seeing the obvious when it comes to basketball.
