Put Prime Kobe on those Heat Teams instead of Prime Lebron. they go 4 for 4 in the Finals

[an emissary from hell]

No way in hell does Miami beat that 2014 Spurs squad with Kobe.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

And Bron would have 3 rings if he played alongside prime Shaq.

It's easy to play this game.

Nah, he wouldn't. Shaq and LeBron would've been a terrible match. Not to mention Phil woulda fukked him up mentally.

It'd make more sense if you replace Wade with Kobe though, LeBron would be to Lobe what nikkaz thought Odom was suppose to be. Hell, even young 3peat Kobe woulda been putting LeBron in his place.

nikkas act like he was averaging 30 on godly efficiency or some shyt.

You quoted me as if this is a debate.

 

[FTBS]

That's after playing with Bron.

If he never played with Bron, I don't see Bosh migrating into a 3pt shooter.

Chris Bosh only had 168 3pt attempts in his 509 games prior to playing with LeBron...in the 287 games during Bron's Heat era, Bosh took 352 3pt attempts. That's damn near double the attempts in half the amount of games


I just don't believe that Bosh playing alongside Wade and Kobe would've morphed into a Rashard Lewis breh




I just think Bosh in the paint with Haslem would've been more effective on the boards/protecting the pain/guarding other teams bigs with Kobe on the Heat than he was with Bron for the simple fact he would've been around the paint more

And he's only increased that rate since Bron left. Also the overwhelming majority of those 3s were taken in 2013. He only took 134 (less than 1 per game) in the first 3 years with Bron combined. Compare that to the 109 he took in his last 3 season in TOR. Bosh morphed because thats how he wanted to play. He said himself he wasn't about that banging in the paint life. I just want you to tell me what shooting 3s on offense has to do with where you are on defense? It's not like he was locking the paint and boards down before he started shooting 3s.

 

[Paper Boi]

i'm a kobe stan, but nah. i don't think that team would have meshed well.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

young LeBron was actually coachable though compared to now

 

[((ReFleXioN)) EteRNaL]

wouldn't work. wade prolly breaks his jaw by month 2

 

[Draje]

Did I say this?


I said Bosh would've been in the paint more...and he would've. Playing closer to the rim = more opps for rebounds, blocks that he didn't have while playing under Bron's regime. Defensively, 2010 Toronto Bosh > 2011-2014 Heat Bosh


Playing with Bron forced him to become a stretch 4 due to the fact LeBron needed the paint to operate. Kobe didn't need the paint and Bosh would've stayed operating in his same spots he did in Toronto unafflicted which would lead to him being better defensively than what he turned into on the Heat by doing exactly what LeBron has Kevin Love doing today.






LeBron was Shaq-lite in the paint?

Yep. Lebron was automatic in the paint and had Shaq-efficiency. Go look at Lebron's shot chart in Miami. He was pretty much a slashing Shaq-lite. Got into the paint at will and finished with ungodly efficiency around the rim. Unstoppable in the painter area.

And you're going to try to replace one of the most efficient scorer of all times with Kobe Bryant lmao

Bosh was an elite defender with Lebron because we played a blitzing defense and made work with his mobility to smother PnR.

Why would he play closer to the rim on defense? You're gonna keep one of the best PnR defending bigs in the league and stick him in the paint so Kobe can do what?

Seems when Curry averaged stats similar to that, he apparently got locked up and played awful

Add to the fact that the triangle puts you in specific spots on the floor...young Bron passing ability and quick first step all the while playing top of the key and below would have been deadly..

he's had some great defensive performances as well...LeBron shot like 37% in the finals last year and ppl were tryig to reward him mvp

 

[THE MACHINE]

They scored 86 and 87, those games were over by the half and LeBron had 31pts and 28pts in those games.


Average margin of victory was 14ppg which is huge with Bron averaging 28/8/4 on 52%, so please tell me how Kobe on that team stops the Spurs from running a train on the Heats defense? The Spurs had a 121 offensive rating

Yep. The Heat were chasing the ball all around the court. Switching on every pnr like some damn fools. I don't see Kobe fairing much better against Kawhi than 28/8 on 52% shooting either......






















.....word to Tayshawn Prince

Spoiler

2004 Finals
22.6 ppg on 38% shooting
