The cover

Kobe and LeBron can go either way but this logic is real flawed.

Again, the point RJ is making is if you compare all of LeBron's rings to all of Kobe's rings, you can't honestly say they were created equally. Sure, anyone WOULD be #2 to Shaq but that doesn't negate the fact that Kobe WAS #2 to Shaq for his first 3. It is what it is.

I have no horse in the race before I am accused of taking sides. That was RJ's POINT.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Lebron had a minimum of two AS players on his team for every ring, & was in a conference where possibly the third best players on each of his championship teams....... would have been the best player on any of the other teams the Cavs faced .

Both of them had HOF talent playing next to them for their rings...

RJ simply mad That the Lakers swept his *** & he's buddy buddy with Bron

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Bruh game 7 against the spurs
Kobe never had that

 

[thekillerj23]

I really thought after Bron brought Cle a title, the debate between him and Kobe was over, but this NT, where Bron gave most likely killed most people mom’s the way some people
On here hate him.

Can the season start already so we can get passed these player a vs player b debates.

 

[Mike dunleavy]

they literally ran a box and 1 in a professional nba finals. If that ain’t the ultimate sign of we can’t guard you straight up or with a double so we sending everybody at you.

but get ya jokes off.

He DID NOT WANT TO GUARD A UNDRAFTED PG

 

[niceshoes247]

Turn that up

 

[HIM]

Whenever someone picks Kobe over bron “look at all his peers. Even they think Kobe’s better.”

if someone says LeBron is better. “He hates Kobe and is friends with Bron”

 

[Mike dunleavy]

I want this on a poster.

Dipper fan too

Yeah and that's flawed logic. Also the fact that Kobe was 22-24 outscoring Shaq in some of those series.

These type of discussions are more nuanced.

You are 100% correct. The convo is more nuanced that how it is usually presented.

I was simply clearing up RJ's point.

That is all.

That is all.

His point was already clear.

 

[clyde the glide]

I'm not convinced prime shaq would be priority if he played today. Ofcourse he should be but the way these teams are ran nowadays with analytic nerds who think chucking threes is the best brand of the sport I'm not so sure...

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Other all NBA guards during that 3 peat
Nash/tracy/iverson/ray Allen
Other all NBA centers during that 3 peat
Dirk/robinson/mutumbo/Jermaine/wallace

I think Kobe could be replaced with any of those guards and the Lakers could have easily won over 1.5 chips

Without shaq they wouldn't make the conference finals

Shaq couldn't pass the ball to himself.

 

[Quincy McCall]

Magics had Shaq/Penny for the wrong four years

 

[MVP]

Bron needed more help to win his chips even though he was in an inferior conference. Kobe only needed 1 AS teammate. He had to have minimum 2. The argument is flawed.

The only thing we KNOW is he did it with Kobe. Don't trivialize Kobe by saying any of those other dudes could have done IT as well.

For real? No ****.

Right because the dudes that played and guarded these dudes don't know, skinny fat NTers know the facts.
