That was only "one of his best seasons" if you live and die by scoring stats. He didn't play defense for shyt that year - he was mocked relentless for how bad his defense was - and he was a terrible team leader. His shytty ass defense and constant fronting on his own teammates rather than taking responsibility for his shortcomings is one of the reasons that team fell apart.Kobe was the #1 guy at a playoff team in his 17th year. Only got stopped by injury
Besides, Bron supposed to be better than everybody and more rested than ever
And Lakers woulda been a 9-seed if those other guys around him didn't win three straight games against good teams with Kobe on the bench.
You're straight bragging about a guy fighting for the 8/9 seed while playing with an All-NBA center, a PF who had multiple All-Star and All-NBA seasons still in the tank, a vet 3-and-D SF, and a PG who had just made the all-star game the year he joined the team.
Imagine this year if LeBron had formed a superteam with Jokic, Lamarcus Aldridge, CP3, and Iggy and then his stans bragged about an 8-seed at the end of the season.
