KOBE WAS FAR SUPERIOR TO ANY OF HIS TEAMMATES IN HIS BACK TO BACK RUN..
SHAQ WAS NOT FAR SUPERIOR TO KOBE IN THE THREEPEAT RUN, AND SHAQ HIMSELF WILL TELL U THIS. KOBE HANDLED THE WEST AND SHAQ HANDLED THE EAST.. SO THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS WERE ON PAR WIT EACH OTHER. JUST LIKE KYRIE AND LEBRON .. THERE WAS NO HUGE GAP BETWEEN THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THAT TITLE.
LEBRON WOULD NOT EVEN GET OUT THE 2ND ROUND IF HE PLAYED IN THE WEST WITH GASOL AS HIS SECOND OPTION
Yes, Shaq was far superior to Kobe. He had an impact close to prime Jordan.
No, even somebody as delusional as you can't argue Kobe's stats approached shaq's during their first title.
No, Kobe's impact was nowhere near Shaq.
No, Kobe's 2 finals runs in 2009 and 2010 were not historically impressive. Lebron had a better performance this year. Wade had a better performance in 2006. Duncan has several performances that were better.
YOu also forget that Kobe missed the playoffs with the same key players that Wade took to the second round AS A ROOKIE
You also forget that the year Kobe missed the playoffs, the lakers were playing better when he was injured. They only lost their playoff spot after he came back and started gunning.
You also forget kobe had the WOAT finals performance in 2004.
You also forget Kobe holds the record for most bricks.
