That’s how you feel based off what you said.
You’re saying that Pippen is a better player than Kobe since 6 is better than 5, right?

Dipo a two time MVP
The smartest thing Bron ever did was create super teams to win as he put himself into conversations that he doesn’t truly belong in. He didn’t stay with one team and turn it into a finals contender (Jordan) and he didn’t stay with one team during the lean years until it was rebuilt (Kobe). Every few years he just sits down with his handlers and strategizes on which team can get him the most rings. And for some reason after Bron gets all these good ass players on his team people try to pretend as if they’re not as good as they are like Love and Kyrie aren’t number one options, like Bosh and Wade aren’t number one options. Pippen was not a number one option. Odom, Bynum and Gasol weren’t number one options. Even if you wanna bring up Shaq, it wasn’t like the Lakers made a conscious decision to have Shaq and Kobe. Kobe was a 18 yo rookie who ended up becoming that good. He wasn’t a superstar who decided to come join Shaq. If Jordan had Kyrie as a teammate, boy, he’d be showing his ass out there. Ditto for Kobe. It’s crazy how winning changes perceptions so much even if you stacked the deck to do it.
I'm not sure why I quoted you either...
You stupid.

Nash a 6’3 Canadian CAC and he put up sky high numbers on great efficiency but you acting like Kobe is above getting his ass whooped in the playoffs. Kobe lost TWO STRAIGHT MVPs to him, let him come back from a 3-1 lead, and gave him that Work in two playoffs. Had Kobe crying for help.
.
I crack jokes about Kobe losing against the Suns, ALL THE DAMN TIME, but no one sane really thinks that series should be an indictment on his legacy even if he choked a 3-1 league just like OKC is getting blasted for doing. Because the context of those "chokes" is that Kobe was over-performing with an obviously inferior team and OKC had two top players on the same team choking away.
I just think things should be looked at in context.
Breh you bi-polar or something?
Didn’t you say this before
LeBron James has been favored to win the Finals 2 out of 6 times
So I don’t know why you keep bringing up Nash beating Kobe when you yourself already admitted Steve Nash had a better team
Also the MVP is the regular season, if playoffs counted towards the MVP then why the fukk James Harden got one you dikkhead? Kobe was putting up historical numbers and dragging a team with Chris Mihm, Kwame brown, smush Parker and Luke Walton to the playoffs in a tough west while Nash has a far superior team
Oh but I forgot, Lebron is the only person we praise for putting up historical numbers while dragging bad teams to the playoffs, even though those Cavs teams was better than the mid 2000 lakers and played in a weaker East. My badi forgot nikkas like you @Draje reserve that type of logic for y’all daddy Lebron
And When Kobe got the right team he raped the suns
And that nikka you quoted agreed Nash was a great player hence him bringing up being a two time MVP. Of course that wasn’t the response you’d expected as you wanted nikkas to be outraged so you write this bullshyt lol

How many playoff appearances and wins did Bosh, Kyrie, and Love have as number options?
Was it more or less than Gasol?
I’m pointing out the stupid hypocrisy of using “5>3 “ is a stupid ass argument that doesn’t hold weight.
Your logic is trash. Who cares they played in a weaker East?
Put Lebron on those Shaq teams and they win 3 rings with little issue. We’ve seen a less than Prime Shaq win with Wade so pretty much any version of Lebron after 2004 would be fine.
And you talking random regular season stats like Lebron couldn’t easily have 2-3 more MVPs too? 2005 - Lebron has 31/7/6. 2006 - 27-7-7 while winning more games.
If Hardem was putting up those numbers but only had 42 wins, barely over 500, y’all would laugh that nikka put the gym.
So WHO CARES? I don’t care if you think Kobe is better than Lebron. Using stupid ass 5 is better than 3 as your argument is stupid as fukk. Using final losses, like Kobe losing a 3-1 lead to Steve Nash is somehow better than Lebron losing against a team with his two best players injured or losing against a team with Curry, Durant, and Klay because he played them in a later series.
Y’all make stupid arguments like “Kobe would never let Dipo stop him from getting to the finals” like those Suns were somehow these playoff juggernauts despite the fact that Nash has never seen a finals.
When he got the right team? You’re bragging about Kobe going off on a 35 year old Nash and being checked by a 37 year old GRANT HILL WHO WAS STARTING? The suns were T
THE 23rd worst defense in the league that year, you moron. That’s what you’re bragging about? A bottom 10 defensive team coached by one of the worst defensive coaches around starting two men over the age of 35?
To put that into contest, KG and PP were 34 and 35 when Lebron beat them in Miami but congrats on Kobe
putting up numbers against one of the worst defenses in the league.
The Dipo led Pacers? 13th best defense in the league
The Raptors Lebron swept had the 5th best defense and 2nd best offensive rating. The Celtics were the BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM IN THE LEAGUE LAST YEAR and you bumping your chest on that lmao but you’ll ignore all this.
Nash and Amare didn't exist I guess
shaq is better than all those playersGive Kobe Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love, Ray Allen and Possibly Anthony Davis in a matter of 6 years with Lebron health he’d end his career with 12 rings
You had the entire Pacers' roster other than Oladipo not existing, fool.
Pacers had 7 guys average double-figures in that series, outside of LeBron the ONLY Cav to average double-figures was Love with 11ppg on 32% shooting.
LeBron had 46-12-5 on 70% shooting to squeak out a 3-point win in Game 2. Love had 15 on 5-16 shooting and Korver had 12, otherwise NO ONE on the Cavs had more than 6 points.
Kobe loses that game and it isn't even close.
LeBron had 32-13-7 on 55% shooting and 2 blocks to squeak out Game 4.
Kobe probably loses that one too and the series is over already.
LeBron had 44-10-8 on 58% shooting plus the game-preserving block and game-winning three to win Game 5.
If Kobe hadn't already gotten swept, he's definitely losing in 5.
LeBron had 45-8-7 on 64% shooting and 4 steals to win Game 7 by 4.
Kobe had NEVER had a closeout game like that in his entire career. But it doesn't matter cause he never would have gotten there.
LeBron didn't have ONE teammate get a 20-point game all series. Not one. Against a team with 7 guys averaging double-figures. And he still won the series.
And Kobe losing against the Pacers don't even matter, cause he would have lost against the Raptors and the Celtics too.
Kobe couldn't even put up any games like that in 2006 or 2007 with more help and against worst defenses.
