COULD LEBRON WIN WITH PAU AS A SECOND OPTION?
YES OR NO
BRON WAS THE “BEST PLAYER” (BIGGEST STAT PADDER) ON HAND PICK SUPERTEAMS, SURE .. WE SAW WHAT HE DID WITOUT THE SUPERTEAMS. KOBE WON ORGANICALLY WIT A TEAM THAT BRON WOULDA BEEN BOUNCED OUT THE SECOND ROUND WITH
From 2008-2010? Yeah, pretty easily. Ya'll post this dumb shyt and ignore the context behind those championships. The 2008-2010 Lakers supporting cast was one of the strongest in that era. They had the talent advantage against every team they beat in both the 2009 and 2010 playoffs (the Celtics would be the exception but they weren't whole). Young Lebron performed better than Kobe against the 2008 Celtics, 2009 Magic, and the 2010 Celtics with a weaker supporting cast. Lebron at Kobe's age with players of Pau and Odom's caliber against similar level of competition is a safe bet.
Here are the teams the 2009/2010 Lakers beat:
2009-
1. The Jazz led by Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer
2. The Rockets with Ron Artest as their best player (series went 7 games and Kobe shot 4-12 in game 7 while Pau and Bynum put in work)
3. The Nuggets led by Carmelo and 32 year old Chauncey
4. The Magic led by Dwight Howard and an injured Jameer Nelson
2010-
1. The Thunder with a 21 year old KD and a rookie James Harden
2. The Deron Wiliams led Jazz
3. The Suns led by a 36 year old Nash
4. The Celtics who weren't even healthy
Lebron at 23 against the 08 Celtics pushed took the series to 7 and dropped 45 in a game 7 on the road. Kobe, in his prime, got shut down and blowout in 6 games. Replace Illaguskas, Delonte West, and Wally Sczerbiak with Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom, and Derek Fisher and 23 year old Bron does what Kobe couldn't do in his prime.
