Kobe's last six seasons:
Swept by Dallas after winning 57 games
Gentlemen swept by OKC
Barely made the playoffs with prime Dwight after both played the entire season
Missed playoffs
You had Cuban questioning if Kobe should be amnestied in 2013
Someone's GOAT (NOT MINE) got whooped in a first round series after getting gifted a top 5 player in the league

Neither did LeBron...that was for Zion because he can't stay healthy to earn a real 8 seed.
Lebron didand he was also forced to be a rim protector and played a far more taxing brand of defense when he was on the Heat. None of these dudes were playing defense in their 30s anyways so I don't know what you're on about.
Early in his career yeah but if he was forced to defend shooting guards and small forwards every night since he joined the Lakers at 34 his body wouldn’t have held up the way it has.
LMAO BRON BEEN
PLAYING WITH A TOP 5-10
PLAYER FOR THE LAST 6 SEASONS.
IDK WHY YOU WOULD EVEN

He absolutely was especially the second three peat. They were the best team in the league by far. So much so that the Bulls were winning 50 plus without him before he came back. Look at his team He along with Pip and Rodman are top 75 players. Kukoc their sixth man is a HOFamer. No other team historically had that collection of talent. The Knicks had one top 75 player, Indiana 1. Utah had 2. No one wins without HOF level talent around them. Kobe had fukking prime Shaq for what 7 seasons lol. Come on broLol u think Jordan was in the perfect circumstance every year?
What about Kobe?
I know y’all be gambling, only year Bron won a title where they weren’t the preseason favorite was 2020

Breh be having hella stacked teams falling short pretty often, it is what it is
LA had LeBron. He can guard all 5 positions.Soooooo, we're just gonna pretend that LA didn't have ANY rim protection this series?
I mean, when Rudy Gobert goes for 27 points - 24 rebounds, you have much bigger problems than old man Bron not playing up to his standard.
I get that you're trying to be funny, but LA's overall defense was horrific.
the difference is that those 2 guys didn't manipulate rosters to create their perfect team and still fail
Lebron's not a guard so why would he defend guards?
It's a myth Jordan and especially Kobe were playing any more defense than Bron in their late 30s. Just nostalgia coated BS.
Nah we were out here on some “FINALLY the GOAT doesn’t have to do it all”When Pelinka landed us Doncic Laker fans were celebrating. Yall side chicks were staring out the window like

Guess we didn’t realize that he’s such an awful defender and gives up as much as he scores

Bron is truly the goat if you give him credit for all those rosters. Like Griffin, Pelinka, Riley all kissed the ring and never made moves without Bron's approval. Difference of opinion but I don't care how a roster gets constructed.the difference is that those 2 guys didn't manipulate rosters to create their perfect team and still fail
So Lebron constructed a roster that forces him to play center at 40 years old?the difference is that those 2 guys didn't manipulate rosters to create their perfect team and still fail
And Kobe refused to play in Charlotte and manipulated his way to the biggest market (who was on the verge of signing the best player in the league) before he even played a single game
