Hey @cantstop name a Kobe finals game that was better than LeBron's game 5

[Poitier]

Kobe doesn't get plus points for not being as good as Lebron when he came out of the league

Lebron wouldn't have been a number one option or gotten tons of possessions with prime Shaq....especially given how bad his shooting and ballhandling were coming into the league.

Lebron doesn't get points for stat padding for a shytty franchise for a half decade and using it as some sign of being "ready"

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Was there a Kobe Finals series when he was missing his 2nd & 3rd best player?
Was there a Kobe Finals series where his 2nd best player was at 50%?
Was there a Kobe Finals series where he played with ZERO All-Stars?
Was there a Kobe Finals series where played an All-Time great team?

No is the answer to all that shyt.

Well the 2008 Celtics were pretty good. Games 1, 2, 4, and 6 showed that

 

[Young Fab]

Love is a net negative and quite frankly Lebron is getting whooped with both of them so this is a dumb point.



Odom and Gasol weren't all stars before they came to the Lakers or for most of the title run.



The Pistons and Celtics were all time great and the Spurs were too, dummy.

Last year and this year are totally different, idiot.

Odom & Gasol were both All-Stars, fukk r u talkin about?

And no DET & BOS aren't All-Time great teams, BOS could've been but like I said KG gettin hurt ended that. And I'm sorry, he played SAN in the Finals?

Boy I swear you nikkas is retards bruh

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

BUT BYNUM INJURED TOO, SO IT CANCEL OUT....AND FURTHERMORE, IF BYNUM/ARIZA AVAILABLE IN 2008, LAKERS WIN 3 STRAIGHT THERE

Wasn't Bynum mister measly 8 points per game in the playoffs who made no
Impact :mjplo:?

8 seasons of prime Shaq and LeBron would have been unfair.

8 seasons of prime Shaq and LeBron would have been unfair.

The physical dominance and unselfishness that'd set up so many easy looks . LeBron and Shaq on a team coached by Phil in the pre zone NBA where teams would have to play LeBron AND Shaq straight up or send a hard double only when they have the ball? An era where teams didn't prioritize transition defense back when Shaq could run the floor with the best of them ?

These clowns always forget whether Kobe's teammates were important or not

"Kobe had no help, he carried bums to championships!"

Next thread, "Kobe was missing his star center, otherwise they would have 3 peated"

Yes, two of the top 5 defensive squads all times. One that went to like 7 consecutive ECF and 2 finals is definitely all time, dumb fukk

Odom and Gasol all stars....nikkas making up realities now

They'd simply triple Shaq and watch Lebron brick again again and again......they'd get maybe one ring because of the brilliance of Prime Shaq

He does when those same "stat padding years" are comparable or better than Kobe's years in a similar environment. So compare Kobe's "prime years" without Shaq and as a number one option to Lebron's years as a number one option. Let's knock out the rookie years for both, just to be fair.

How's it look?

And sure he would have because he'd be getting developed by fukking Phil Jackson, not Mike Brown.

Pau was an all-star before, during, and after his Lakers stint. You're full of shyt on that one.

Odom never made an all-star team and I don't know any Lakers fans that didn't think he got screwed in at least one of those years.

No, Kobe 05-07 is definitely better than Lebron pre-2009.

If that team happened, people would be calling LeBron "Magic on Steroids" (pun may or may not be intended)

Nope, Gasol's only all star team was in 2006 prior to linking with Kobe. This isn't Lebron joining Wade, Bosh, Kyrie or Love. And save the convoluted excuse on Odom

triple team Shaq and leave single coverage on Lebron who was averaging 27 points since his second year despite having entire teams loaded up to keep him out of the paint? Lebron was an attack dog when he was younger.

You spout this bullshyt but packing the lanes and daring Lebron to shoot never stopped him from getting buckets on high efficiency. Dude would be drawing double digit FT attempts if you tried to single guard young Lebron over a season.
