In 2009 if you are trying to get to the Finals, who gives you a better chance, Lebron or Dwight? :mjgrin:
The all around best most talented player in the league at that time was LBJ so thats an easy answer
I love Kobe but Warriors in 4 :francis:
Kobe's the 3rd best player in the series, but he couldn't beat this team. I don't think his team was all that special in 09 honestly, he was just ballin out
helped you out there brotha

The 09 Lakers would stand a better shot than these current Cavs just because they had more length in the front court and more overall depth.

The 01 Lakers (even with their lack of depth) would crush the the warriors though. Prime Shaq and Kobe entering his prime would be too much. Kobe was also still an elite perimeter defender at that time.

Prime Kobe is the greatest player in NBA history.

But this series wouldn't be about him. He would play possum until the 4th quarter.

The 09 Lakers would beat this years Warriors because of their front court. Gasol, Odom, and Bynum would DOMINATE the series. They would pound them down low every possesion. The Lakers would milk the clock down to the end every play. And then in the 4th quarter with the game close, a fresh Kobe would end it.

Just think back to what the Cavs did in 2015 to the Warriors with Mosgov and LeBron dominating down low and multiply that by a factor of 100. That is what the 2009 Lakers would do to the Warriors.

They would beat these dudes to submission.

dude made some good points that actually had me thinking, why is this guy called the seum woat? and then he posted this shyt. :fatguy:

obviously lebron, that series not withstanding. Lebron was clearly the best player in that series. dwight was going against the corspe of big z and varejoe and brown got outcoached badly

So you're saying you'd take Lebron over Dwight to make it to the finals, even though Lebron lost to Dwight?

are you trolling?

dwight was handled by gasol and bynum while he destroyed big z and andy

I'm hearing a lot of excuses breh, you still haven't made an argument for why I should build a team around Lebron instead of Dwight in 2009. Dwight taking the likes of Jameer Nelson and Hedo Turkoglu to the promised land, that's the man I build around. :obama:
