Bleh, Kobe never won anything without Shaq, he even missed the playoffs one year, Lebron ALONe took his mediocre team to the Finals. People seem to have a very short term memory, The Lakers are elite again ONLY because they received the gift of Gasol, Kobe was not the best player last year in the finals, as a matter of fact, the ONLY game the Magic won was because KOBE gve it away...
Kobe makes his teammates better?? REALLY?? Since when??
The Lakers this year were like 6-1 without Kobe, the only lost being a 1 point loss to Boston in Boston. The Lakers are a great team with or without Kobe, Check the Stats man...
Dont ever compare Kobe to Lebron, Lebron is a freak, one of those players that comes once or twice in a lifetime, just because he was eliminated by a team that just took the first 2 home games from the previously unbeaten Orlando, now hes just a choker... The dude had a triple double with 19 rebounds on one of his worst games ever!!
When was the last time Kobe did this??? It is not Lebrons fault that he has to carry a team alone, where was Jamison this series??Where was Mo? West? All struggled badly, and that is not Lebrons fault.. The guy has 2 straight mvps, kobe has one, kobe has 4 rings?? 3 are shaqs, and one is Gasols and Ariza who where the diff vs Orlando last year.
Just put Lebron in the Lakers and Kobe in the Cavs and check how that goes..... The Lakers cruise to a title, loosing maybe 1 or 2 games in the whole playoffs, while cleveland maybe get pass chicago.. and thats a big maybe.
You are all witness to the best player that has EVER played this game, be grateful, and dont worry, the titles will come... lets just hope that it is with Cleveland, and that right now looks doubtful.
Lebron is simply on another category.....
