:gucci: He played noticeably better against both Orlando and Boston than Kobe did. His team lost because nobody really showed up and Mike brown got embarrassed by SVG and doc rivers.
that magic series was atrocious. rashard lewis and turkoglu went unconscious from 3 and exploited the lumbering oafs varejao, big z, joe smith and an old ben wallace's lack of closeout speed...but all the blame fell on lebron:mjlol:

Z and sideshow bob averaged 9 combined fouls per game and fouled out 5 combined times while Dwight averaged 26 points on the series and Orlando shot some 50% from deep on the series and the only guy who shows up to play gets the blame :dead:. Only NBA fan as a general statement is stupid enough to do that.

LOL @ Kobe being the best player in the league at anytime...

All Kobe did was score pretty...

Dude got an MVP as a lifetime achievement award. Dude got All NBA Defensive Teams as a lifetime achievement award...

Lebron, Dirk, Wade, KG, Shaq, Dwight and Duncan all played throughout Kobe's prime and Kobe was never ever clear cut better than any of themthan any of them.

2009 was wade, period.

Nobody has been singularly better than wade in that season since then.

Wrong, Wade was great LeBron was better. You saying nobody was better than '09 Wade since then? :snoop:

LeBron in '09 finished second in the DPoY race, averaged 35/8/9 through three playoff rounds, led his team to 66 wins, and had one of the greatest WS and PER seasons of All-Time. '09 was the year it became clear cut LeBron was the most dominant and impactful player in the league.

He's just as bad. He's argued Kobe was the hero of the 2000 finals and tried to argue Shaq was washed up and deandre Jordan status in the 2004 finals and the main reason they lost was Shaq's defense in a series where the average score was 91-82.

HAHAHAHAH WOW Shaq a good finals against a ginger canadian? Kobe carried those teams through the West against some of the best teams of our generation

How and bron, did not even make the finals that year.
Plus needed wade to finally convert.
After being shook as hell in Dallas, where wade had to hold bron down.

You Cleveland doodoo dookie eaters be forgetting all about what really happened.
I guess y'all forgot about all the jersey fires and the decision.
Without wade bron never wins and bron needed wade's presence and brain trust to convert a title.
When wade asserted himself over the exact same team bron egotistical ass got trounced by when wade was trying to let him learn how to do it defiantly himself. While wade tried to lead him through it and bron was incapable of rising to the occasion in Dallas.

If not for wade, shuttlesworth and luck of the draw to get okc the first time before Durant, harden, Westbrook had a clue to what they were individually and completely in the dark about as far as a cohesive unit.
Bron never wins any titles.
Let alone having the experience to hang in to comeback last year.
So, yes no one but wade individually has been individually that nice, since o9.

LOL at looking at stats and not your eyes..... EVERYTIME KOBE was on the court for the period of a decade everyone in the arena knew who the best playing on the court was
This. You can tell Kobe haters don't actually watch or play basketball.

Literally every kid in hs who was on the team or actually played basketball regularly thought Kobe was better.

Only the nikkas who watch casually n buy every pair or Jordan's but never hoop thought bron was better

Let's look at this logically from 2000-current

2000 - Shaq
2001 - Shaq
2002 - Shaq
2003 - Duncan
2004 - KG
2005 - Duncan
2006 - Wade
2007 - Lebron
2008 - Lebron
2009 - Wade
2010 - Lebron
2011 - Rozay
2012 - Lebron
2013 - Lebron
2014 - Lebron
2015 - Lebron
2016 - Lebron

Derrick Rose was the best player in 2011 but Durant wasn't the best player in 2014 ?

:lupe:
