Okay, for one, I was exaggerating. That should have been clear.
For two, somehow Lebron has lost 4 times in the Finals while the nikka you're trying to discredit at every opportunity has only lost twice. Even on his own, he was 2 out of 3. That means even without Shaq, he's a winner.
It's hard to quantify "killer instinct". The "metrics" say that Kevin Durant is the safer / better / more efficient option than Russell Westbrook but, I think anybody who watches the game will say that Russell has more killer instinct and more heart. Your argument supports Durant
Also, explain why in 2008, the Olympic Team preferred a 30 year old Kobe taking the Final shot in games instead of a young athletic 25 year old Lebron? I'll wait.
Also, what do you get out of arguing this when dozens of NBA players and legends have said Kobe has killer instinct. Tell me breh....what do you know that Bird, Jordan and Magic don't?
So you're just gonna immediately jump to the Kobe Stan narrative of count the rings while ignoring any and all context? Yeah it's allOkay, for one, I was exaggerating. That should have been clear.

No getting through to these fools. There's a reason there's a fistful of them on the WOAT ballot every year
on their team and they had Kobe Bryant. And they all told the "Best Player in the League" to sit his ass down. And he would've still sat his ass down in 2012 if Kobe wasn't an injured 33/34 year old.
You're a troll. The real hate always come out.
2/3 = 66%. He's a winner. Stay salty.
Best front court? The team looks laughable in hindsight now with the Heat, Cavs and GS superteams. Bynum averaged 8 points in the playoffs which is terrible...........Gasol averaged 18 points. Kyrie can go off for 35-40 anynight. As can Klay and Dray. As could Wade and Bosh. All these nikkas need players who can drop 25-30 a night to help. All Kobe needed was a second guy who could put up 15-18.
If Pau Gasol was the best Lakers player, then what the fukk happened? Shouldn't he have a couple rings now on his own with a few MVPs to match. You know since he's better than Kobe and all. Has anybody heard from that nikka since 2013? He's back to irrelevancy. The same realm he resided in before he came to LA.
I see you smooth skipped over the Durant and Westbrook comment. Your "metrics" argument falls flat on its face right there?
Lebron stans say Lebron was the best player in the league since 2005. So FOH with your excuses. On the 2008 Olympics team, they had the "Best Player in the League"
Curry shoots well over 60% in the paint though
Kd had the worst 3pt% on the team in the warriors series. Worst ws, bottom orpm. Shot less then 40% the last 3 games. Kd was awful the entire playoffs. I see why he made his decision he needs an all star team. If Kd had an even average game in 5 or 6 we would have went to the finals. Instead he proceeded to miss 40+ shots in 2 consecutive games
