He would never ever be told he is not pulling his weight


Would not have to say he is out of shape


Would be happy with the shots he would be left with


Will pass Kobe the ball in crunch time


And could extend Kobe’s years playing


2018 with Kobe going down (Kobe would not have gotten that injury Kobe would have played 24 years)

Lebron would not mind being a number 2 most of his career

Be like magic and Jordan on steroids



I don’t think I’m wrong :wow:

Lebron was never a #2

His mindset isn’t one to be a #2.. being a PG doesn’t mean you’re a #2 either. Lebron would just hunt for mismatches and look to get everyone involved but there’s no doubt he would get Kobe good looks

He wouldn’t mind if he was drafted to the lakers while Kobe was the number 1


At least I don’t think so

Lebron played with the 2nd best 2 guard of the era in Dwade…and it was awkward up until the point dwade made a conscious effort to defer and let Bron lead as the clear #1…which Kobe ..wouldn’t have done, there would be drama…and you don’t maximize the impact of neither IMO having them on the same team

The perfect teammate for Kobe would’ve been an in-prime KG …or Duncan IMO…Obviously he played with Shaq and won 3 straight, so no discounting that…but those two are just as good of fits on court (if not better)…and personality wise wouldn’t have bumped heads, so they’d stay together longer…hard to just spot someone more than 5 rings, but it could’ve been possible

came in to say this. Duncan and Kobe together would have been a serious problem for other teams.

Skill and stylewise its perfect. Its Bron and Kyrie x 10. The only issue would be diva stuff. But I think they had too much respect for each other to let that be an issue. Bron grew up looking up to Kobe. Bron has the kind of work ethic that Kobe would respect. Also think the age gap would help. They would never be at the same point at the same time. You could do so much with the two of them.

That said Duncan is the perfect teammate for Kobe. Basically the perfect mix of Shaq and Pau. Wouldve both demanded Kobes respect and not been tripping about shots.

Brons perfect teammate is probably Steph. Him and Tim woulda been a problem as well.
