When it comes to Kobe vs LBJ, why do they always use Kobe having Shaq for 3 championships as a negative towards Kobe, but they never mentioned how LBJ colluded to join D Wade and Bosh, later Ray Allen for his first 2 championships. On top of that, Kobe was the main reason why LBJ colluded with D Wade to "join forces".

@terrillt426 7 ай бұрын

Shaq had 3 finals mvp and clearly was the most dominant player. If lebron had someone with 3 finals mvp on his watch he wouldn't be in the convo. Not that difficult. If that's the case put Pippen in the conversation. Pip got 6 titles. 6 n 0 in the finals.

@Viper83 7 ай бұрын

@terrillt426 1. Shaq wouldn't have gotten those finals mvp without Kobe because he wouldn't have gone to the finals. 2. The Lakers played in a system where Shaq was the main focus. Everything started with him. Kobe had to hold back for the teams success. 3. Kobe beat the teams, LBJ couldn't beat. LBJ had a 60+ win team, #1 record in the NBA, you don't get 60+ wins with a team of scrubs. LBJ just wasn't that guy, that's why he colluded with D Wade because he knew he couldn't beat a Kobe led team... LBJ needed superstars on his team to win. Kobe just needed one superstar/all-star to win. That's why this conversation needs to be brought up

@terrillt426 7 ай бұрын

@@Viper83 Your argument is going against you man. They ran everything with shaq because he was the most dominant player. None of the finals mvp players would have the mvps without their teammates. Jordan wouldn't have it without pippen. Kobe wouldn't have the 2 without gasol. Lebron wouldn't have it without wade. Kareem and Mavgic..That's not saying anything. Shaq was the most dominant thing seen and he went to another level in the playoffs. So pretty simple lebron was the best player on his team for all 10 finals run and all his chips. Kobe was not. Also Kobe's best finals performances don't compare to LeBron's. Lebron lead everybody through a whole series on both teams in every thing basically points rebounds assist blocks and steals. That's absurd and he is the only one to do that ever. No one else has done that in any other series yet alone a finals. Kobe's efficiency doesn't compare to the other all time greats. And the cavs team lebron dragged at 22 years old won 60 games with him. When he left they went to 22 wins! He was the reason for the season. You're helping my point. That's LeBron's impact on winning. Even Chicago bulls without mj were still a play off team. They went from 57 wins to 55 wins when Jordan took 2 years off. Cavs just minus lebron fell off a cliff. Almost 40wins different. Even Miami went to 4 straight finals with lebron. When he left back to Cleveland Miami missed the playoffs without him. Lebron went to 4 more straight for a total of 8 straight! Now the cavs team with kyrie and love were very good but again when lebron sat games in 4 years the cavs with only kyrie and love had a terrible record like 5 and 23 without lebron. If lebron had another player on his championship team that had 3 finals mvps over lebron and clearly was more dominant than lebron regular season and playoffs he couldn't be in the conversation and you would destroy lebron for it. Jordan doesn't have the finals mvp without pippen and Phil Jackson as well as Kobe withbut Phil you can't say pippen should be in the convo because pippen is also 6n0 in the finals. Far as teammates. Again no one can do it alone. You say lebron teamed up with wade. So wade was not better than prime shaq. So why should lebron have to win with no help? And it was the Celtics who had 4 stars lebron had to go through. Garnett pierce Allen and rondo. Even kg said lebron couldn't beat us. It was 1 star vs 4. How's that fair? Lebron evened the playing field. You think Kobe or Mike winning a title with boobie Gipson and ilguaska are your next best players? Stop acting like no one else didn't have extreme help. Doesn't matter who construct the team has to be great talent. And no lebron didn't start these power teams. They existed before he was born. Lakers always had power teams even before shaq and Kobe. Have you heard of Kareem Magic worthy? 2 top 5 players of all time on one team when other all stars and hall of famers. Like come on. The Celtics with Bird McHale Parish. And the previously mentioned Celtics with KG pierce Allen rondo did that team lebron went to Miami. Heard of shaq Kobe Malone and Payton. Like we need to make it make sense.

@Viper83 7 ай бұрын

@terrillt426 typical LBJ fan, writing a lot of paragraphs yet saying nothing new. Repeating the same old arguments that consistently gets destroyed. Yet not realizing how most accomplishment LBJ had happened when he played with superstars. Or the fact that LBJ was never the guy to close out the games when the game was in the line. It was always D Wade, Kyrie, and AD that had the ball in their hands when the game was on the line for all of LBJs championships... you LBJ fans just don't seem to realize that their is a difference between playing with superstars when they were drafted to the team, as opposed to colluding with established superstars. And that's why LBJ will never be close to being a goat. His stats won't help him no matter how much you bring it up. In fact, his stat padding ways is the main reason why LBJ has never been able to lead his team and why he has a losing record in the finals.

@terrillt426 7 ай бұрын

@@Viper83 You're speaking nonsense. Shaq wasn't drafted to the Lakers nor was Gasol nor was Kareem. Kobe threatened to leave unless they got him another star. Kobe forced his way to the Lakers because he knew they had championship management. Cavs have trash management. It's way harder to win in Cleveland. That's why Kobe went to LA. He refused to report to Charlotte who drafted him. If he was a Charlotte bobcat with that trash management he wouldn't have any titles. Only thing that matters is that you have the talent. If lebron was drafted a laker and had prime shaq they getting titles. It's circumstantial. You're literally lying couldn't logically counter the facts. It's actual and factual that lebron has the most game winners in nba playoff history and he is number 2 with game winners in regular season. You haven't come with any facts. Just hate. And lying saying he hasn't closed games. He is always amongst the league leaders in 4th quarter scoring. Even this year he is 6th in the whole league in 4th quarter scoring in his 21 season. Averaging 8 in the 4th no other superstar to play 21 season even averaged 8 in a whole game. Anyway if you can't be objective and ignore facts it's pointless. That's checkmate. I'll leave it at that for others to see the facts. There's a video 13 minutes long with just lebron game winners. And I have Jordan at the top. You haven't come with any logic or facts just opinions and personal vibes. I've giving facts afer facts with empirical data.

Everyone keeps saying Kobe had Shaq in his prime and uses that against him, but Shaq was the most dominant player to ever play the game, as great as Kobe was, the Lakers had to run the offense through Shaq. Now if LeBron played with Shaq in his prime, the offense would still have to run through Shaq. So would LeBron not be considered one of the greats b/c he played with prime Shaq? Remember Shaq never won a title until he played with Kobe, so put some respect on this man's name.
