That same kobe team beat the magic that Lebron lost to
I would hope so.
kobe had a far superior team around him.
Put Kobe in the East with the same squads was winning 45 with in the West and he would have been a threat to make the finals. Are you really this retarded? The point of the disparity between the East and the West is to illustrate that this idea that LeBron was always contending and Kobe wasn't is a function of one playing weaker competition than the other.
We know from the teams they won rings with that Kobe was the player who carried less talent to the championship. The only times LeBron has won chips, he's had teams that are more stacked than Kobe when he just had Gasol. Wade/Bosh/LeBron and Kyrie/Love/LeBron are both more talented than Kobe with just Pau Gasol and 0-time all-star Lamar Odom.
youre speaking on different eras.
the kobe/gasol lakers wouldn't have won any titles in 2011-2017.
its funny how people always talk about the heat losing to the mavs, but rarely anyone mentions how the mavs DESTROYED the lakers that year.
I think player's appreciate Kobe's game more than LeBron's because they know how much more skill it takes to do what Kobe did versus what LeBron does. It's the same reason Barry Sanders got more love than Emmitt.
barry gets way more love than emmitt because barry played behind a questionable line, while emmitt's offensive line was probably the goat.
even emmitt says that barry was better.
it's hard to prop up LeLoss when he'll finish his career with a losing NBA finals record period.
Again they prop up LeLoss because the media has to keep their jobs. Dumbasses like Nic Wright just says bullshyt so he'll get attention and still get a paycheck.
wilt chamberlain, jerry west, elgin Baylor and others have worse finals records.
and I don't know about yall, but i'd rather go 3-5 in the finals instead of going 2-0 and getting knocked out early/bounced in the 1st round every other year.
Exactly kobe could of got to the finals in the east in 07 to and he actually had a worst roster. Detroit was kind of past their prime and would go 5 minutes droughts without scoring so kobe could of went off against them and as long of somebody else played out of there mind like boobie Gibson he could of upset the Pistons also
Detroit would do a better job at D'ing up on kobe.
kobe wouldn't have been taking the pistons to the rack like LeBron did. plus, LeBron does more for the offense than just jack up shots.
kobe's game isn't the type that'll carry a team anywhere.
LeBron in 07 wouldnt of made it out the 1st roundin the west in 07 so don even bring that up
he would if he was on the lakers.
