If Bron had 5 rings like Kobe his failures would not be brought up like Kobe's have been the past few yrs.
After Kobe won w/o Shaq it made EVERY haterNot only did Kobe with w/o Shaq they were wrong. That was like getting stabbed and shot. So they speak on his failures incessantly to lessen the pain of Kobe
: and them
Kobe haters have always been in the minority. Even at the peak of all of that Colorado shyt it was unpopular to say anything bad about him. Even stating the obvious (35 shots in a game is excessive) was interpreted as hating. You stans are getting so jealous and upset at the coverage LeBron is getting now but it's nothing close to the slobbering Kobe has received for years.
You can sit here and cry all you want about Kobe being a stepchild and never getting the treatment and adulation that LeBron gets yet every time a metric is released showing just how heavily fan support is tilted in Kobe's favor, you're all suddenly like
You're a very confused bunch and most of you know far too little about basketball to be discussing it with any regularity.
Kobe has gotten alot of hate compared to michael jordan but compared to other players naw. Stans mostly just upset because they thought he would be as respected as mj by now. aint no "be like kobe" commercials but the dude still has alot of respect considering.

Yes, setting them up. Kobe's tantrum required them to become Kobes. If he thought that would work, he is even dumber than you are.

Is your reading comprehension that bad? Or is Kobe always on your mind?
I only said no one can say LEBRON was better than _ANYONE_ prior to last year because he was continually failing when it most mattered. Never once did i say "hey kobe > bron in $some_year".
I may be a Lakers fan, but I'm also a person of the belief that Kobe really needs to change up his game if he ever wants to sniff a 6th title. Kobe has been highly inefficient for years.
While I'm a fan of Kobe. I 'm not a _Stan_ of Kobe. I acknowledge fully he's gone down hill. Hopefully having other consistent offensive options (Nash), will let Kobe play more efficiently.
At any rate. yea... carry on

Lebron averaged 38/9/9 vs the Magic in 09. His team was just too small for the Magic. It was a terrible match up. Z on Dwight, Delonte on Hedo etc.
Lebron was dropping 40 and they were still losing.
How in the world is that on Lebron?
Lebron did quit in game 4, but he didn't quit in game 5 and 6. Dude's statline in game 6 was like 27/19/9. That's quitting to you?
He just had no help.
Stop being a moron.
Bron was a frontrunner back then. The Magic series was a perfect example. Up 20 points in multiple games but when the game got tight he got tight. Best players don't do that. Until this season he rack up a bunch of meaningless stats and nuts up in end. This past season he didn't do that...hence he was the best player in the league. How hard is that to understand. I know you lack any type of NBA knowledge but I at least thought you could apply common sense.
Racking up bunch of stats in 3 quarters doesn't mean shyt if U nut up in the 4th. That was Bron's MO until this past season.
Damn U cats on here ore dense. Yall let fantasy leagues corrupt any type of logic because most of you idiots think in extremes. This ain't baseball TRICK.

It was always 50/50. For every Kobe fan there was a Kobe hater.

But if you are able to pile it on when things are going well, you won't blow leads and get beat like Kobe has several times in recent years

Not really. Kobe didn't even bother to playmake. Didn't even try to attack to create better looks for his teammates etc. He knew it was over at that point. He flat out quit.
True.
Yes, they were. It was obvious when they matched up.
You need to quit watching basketball and stick to praying to Allah. NBA ain't for you son.
Naw I could stop watching the NBA for 10 yrs come back and still know infinitely more than morons like U.

The brain cell count has been roughly even, but the stan to hater ratio has varied from 20-1 to 10-1.

Not even close unless you're on that George Bush "you're either with us or against us" shyt. I was routinely in threads with 15-20 stans against me.

@ anyone attempting to blame Lebron for the Cavs losing to the Magic. All this Lebron is a choker in the 4th talk has always been overblown. People only started saying that after he lost to the Mavs in the finals. Lebron was fine in the 4th vs the Magic. They just couldn't stop Hedo, Dwight and Lewis in the 4th. Blame the Cavs defense and the supporting cast for not showing up. @ putting the blame on someone that averaged 38/9/9 for a series.
