Wad Jay back then there was a talk that it's because of shaq that kobe was shining, outside and in the league..people don't understand why kobe did not wanna play with shaq anymore, but that's just being competitive. He had to win without shaq or his legacy wouldn't have been what it is, people would forever say he only won cause of shaq dominance in the finals, but he proved them wrong...to the point he beat a 3 hall of famer plus an allstar team in 2010, without shaq.

Injuries slowed him tremendously and also Paul got help with a still very good KG a sharp shooter like Ray Allen and a up and coming floor general like Rondo.

Tony Allen shut Kobe's ass down in the 2008 finals. Even Ray Allen was having a lot of success guarding him in that series. Tayshaun Prince also shut him down in the 2004 finals. Kobe has been shut-down or slowed down by great defenders a lot of times in his career.

Lebron knows his own strengths and weakness, why would he try and go one on one with Kobe?

Kobe stated that he takes it upon himself to guard lebron because in his mind he would be disrespecting lebron’s greatness. Lebron on the other hand just straight up doesn’t have the footwork mid range j and fundamentals. Not to say he is bad but Kobe is the most fundamentally sound player ever.

Tmac in his prime and healthy was an impossible matchup. 6-9 with Shooting touch, athleticism, post game, handles, passing skills, mid range, long range tmac was as complete offensively as any perimeter player thats ever played. Pierce not only as a scorer but as a overall player is one of the most underrated in recent memory. pierce offensively was also impossible cuz like kobe said he was great at using his body and paul like tmac also could shoot from anywhere, post, pull ups, mid and long range. few players consistently got to the free throw line as much as pierce did.
