Jordan needs to prove he can win one without Pippen and Phil.
What is Jordan's record without Pippen?

Kobe now needs to prove that he can win one without Phil Jackson.
this is the most 100percent realist post in this thread. kobe's emotion those last several minutes of that all star game was the most excitement i seen from him all season. dude is a great baller that i respect tremendously, but he really does force some of this on himself when it doesnt exist. lebron just doesnt care what kobe or mike thinks or want him to think. just like last year when kobe yelled at bron for passing up the final shot. bron like, i got a bigger picture in mind. kobe wants bron to sieze the moment, its a fukin all star game.

Kobe Bryant is one of the last few players who still show intensity on a court and during the 2013 All Star Game, he didn’t fall short.
One of the most talked about highlights during the NBA All Star game, other than Chris Bosh’s air balls and getting a ball dribbled between his legs, was Kobe Bryant not blocking one but two of Lebron James shots during the last 8 mins of the game. These blocks come after the infamous words of one of basketball greats, Michael Jordan, saying he would chose Kobe over Lebron. This only fueled the fire of the never ending conversation of who is better: Kobe or Lebron. When asked about the blocked shots, Kobe replied: “Im an 80′s baby, thats what we do!”
Kobe wanted to play for the Lakers franchise itself. He was a Lakers stan, just like me, before he even got to the NBA. Shaq was just a "welcoming gift" from The Logo and Dr. Buss
LeBron wanted to team up with Wade and Bosh to force a dynasty which has NEVER been done before in NBA history so blatantly, which is why all the Legends of the NBA give LeBron thewhen it comes to where does he fit on the All-Time list
Kobe went to la cause he knew it wasn't gonna be bullshyt like Cleveland and he knew he couldn't do what Bron did there.
So Kobe won two without Shaq. I give him his props for that...
but Lebron got one and more on the way.
Plus before you bring up Wade/Bosh let's not act like Gasol/Bynum is chopped liver.![]()
You'll get no argument from me sir.
jordan was never pippen's side kick like kobe was to shaq tho![]()
SMH at people bringing up Bynum when dude was injured and a non factor in 09 and 10. Gasol never even won a playoff game before he met Kobe dude was a soft ass euro that never would have sniffed the hall of fame. Dude was Keith Van Horn status without Kobe.. So ya basically Gasol/Bynum compared to Wade and Bosh is chopped liver.
So Lebron got .5 rings (no one is going to give that asterisk ring full respect)
Beating two. 500 teams is impressive now?kobe's last 2 wasn't THAT impressive
lebron making it to the finals in 2007 with that BUM ASS TEAM is way more impressive that kobe beating jameer nelson and rashad lewis. Add to the fact kobe was running with ODOM AND GASOL with PHIL JACKSON on the bench
kobe is being a fakkit and taking for granted that the majority of people are just going to assume pau wasn't that good of a player but without pau the lakers would have got sonned that year. Kobe never won without shaq he just replaced shaq with others who could do almost what shaq could do.
We know bron can win a championship all by himself bc he got to the 2007 finals by himself and lost to the Greg pop spurs which isn't even something to be ashamed about. Why couldn't kobe take his smush parker team to the finals if he's that good?
