That's a stacked team? Luke, Farmar, Sasha and Shannon Brown getting heavy minutes?
Thats fine he’s in year 17..
4 Finals MVPs to 2. You must cry when every all-time list that comes out has Lebron ahead of Kobe.THAT TEAM I JUST POSTED WAS STACKED?
BRON GROUPIES, NEVER CHANGE
MJ WON SHOOTING 5/19 IN A CLOSING GAME .. MJ WAS CARRIED TOO?
LITERALLY EVERYBODY SHOT POORLY IN THAT LAKERS-BOSTON GAME 7, BECAUSE IT WAS A GRUELING DEFENSIVE ORIENTED GAME. LEBRON WOULDA GAVE UP HALF WAY THROUGH THE 2ND QUARTER N SITED CRAMPS.
KOBE HAS BEEN THE BEST PLAYER ON THE LAKERS SINCE 2001
SHAQ HAD SENIORITY SURE, BUT EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW WHO WAS THE BEST ALL AROUND PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE BY THEN
AND EVEN WTOUT THOSE RINGS, KOBE PROVED HE WAS A LEVEL ABOVE WHEN HE WON WIT PAU AS A SECOND OPTION
LEBRON HAD AN ALL-TIME GREAT + SUPERTEAM FOR EVERY RING.. KOBE DIDNT. PERIOD.
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.
Why is the onus on them to correct a mistake that Bron created? Bron wanted Russ. Bron was having meetings with Russ. Rob wanted Buddy Hield. Why mortgage our future even more when this team is beyond awful? Bron won’t be here 2 years from now so why trade a 2025 pick? Bron created this mess, it’s on him to fix it.
THAT TEAM I JUST POSTED WAS STACKED?

So why does everyone have to wallow in misery and beat their heads against the wall
LEBRON HAD THE BEST DEFENSIVE SQUAD IN THE NBA
HE WOULDA TURNED PAU AND ODOM INTO MEHMET OKUR AND GORDAN GIRICEK AS HE STAT PADDED HIS WAY TO 30-8-8 AND HAD ESPN SCREAMIN THAT HE NEEDED MORE HELP
KOBE MADE THE PLAYERS AROUND HIM BETTER - LEBRON MAKES THE PLAYERS AROUND HIM WORSE.. THEREIN LIES TH DIFFERENCE
NOBODY IS WINNING WIT THIS TEAM OUTSIDE OF KOBE.. NOT EVEN MJ
Bron was competitive with those bums in his early 20s, he would win in that era with Pau, Artest, Fisher and Odom at the same age. If he was in his prime? This wouldn't even be a discussion.
Deron Williams, Ron Artest, old ass Nash, rookie KD? Then you got teams like the Nuggets with Melo and Billups and the Magic with Dwight and role players? Kobe had the best second option in every one of those series. You can't even dispute that.
Farmar: 13, Sasha: 11, and Luke: 16. More minutes but not exactly heavy. That was Kobe's best run without Shaq though especially in that Nuggets series.
Pause.
