Really?

Kobe's only played on 2 Lakers teams that faced a 50-win team in the 1st Round as the #1 seed (2008 & 2010)


2008 We played the Nuggets in the 1st Round
2010 We played the Thunder in the 1st Round


Both of those teams were better than ANY team LeBron has faced in the 1st round....period. #1 seed or not.

i agree with you 100% they were better than any teams lebron faced.

but but but but but they weren't a threat to the lakers in the least. Thunder pushed them to 6 but the lakers took it easy.

This is retarded...You realize if youre the 1 seed, you play the 8 seed, and in the East the 8 seed hasnt been very good the past few years. What do you want Lebron to do about that? Thats why you win first place in the regular season dummy :beli:

Meanwhile Kobe just barely kept his team above .500 and got swept first round :heh:

:umad:

the East 8 seed hasn't been good for almost 2 decades. It's the leastern conference for a reason. Lebron knew he was never going to leave the comforts of the Eastern conference.

The West 8 seed could reach the East semis every year.

I was only naming players that DID not play at all and were the "star" players of the team.

I could've also mentioned (for example) that Noah was injured on the Bulls.....but he played, or Shumpert tore his ACL against the Heat and missed the remainder of the playoffs last year.....but he wasnt a star player.

This is actually a great reason to discredit LeBron, especially considering the fact that he decides who faces who in the playoffs.
