If I ever hear someone say LeBron is better than Kobe ever again

[Gravity]

Shaq didn't help Kobe. He packed the paint with defenders.

You should know this as a Bron fan. A DOMINANT big doesn't help guys like Kobe and Bron that slash to the basket. It blocks the paint.

The fact Kobe put up them numbers with the paint essentially closed off is a testament to his ability.

It is no detriment.

Put Kobe on a team that gave him spacing like the Cavs and he would shoot a much higher % because he would be getting to the paint more.

The collective basketball IQ here is just embarrassing.

Who lost 2 out of 3 at home?

Lakers won games 3 and 5. They won 2 of 3 at home.

They tried to blow game 5 too

Except from their peers.

Kobe is still universally regarded as the superior player.

But go ahead bad ignore what the guys who played with and against them think.

Nope

The collective basketball IQ here is just embarrassing.

It takes a special kind of fanboyism to write something that silly

Kobe's prime ended in 2009. He won a ring out of his prime.

That's how great he was.

The Lakers robbed us of his best years 2005-07 by putting trash around him.

Wait, so Kobe's prime ended in 2009.

His best year and the only year he was unanimously the man was in 2008, the same year he got his MVP, but prior to that he was NEVER the man or best player in the league and every year after that Lebron and others were better and the best players in the league (cuz again he was past his prime)?

Fair enough, I can rock with that breh!

Salute
