Yall take things to technical around here. What I mean is Pippen for example, he won 6 rings playin 2nd fiddle to Jordan, but once Jordan left Pippen couldnt win it as the main guy!! Thats all I am sayin!! Yes Kobe has 3 rings but if he never had Shaq he wouldnt have no rings!! Now if he wins it as the #1 guy then more power to him!! Got Em!!
And Shaq didnt win one without Kobe nor did Bird win one without Mchale!! If yall dont get what I mean oh well!! Ill try one more time though. All the guys on the team get titles but a superstar will lead his team to a title. Kobe never lead his tea to any titles. Shaq did lead the lakers to 3 championships and was the MVP all 3 times and was the best player on that team!! So in that case Kobe was Pippen or Mchale!! So sayin he has 3 titles and LeBron dont aint a great argument cause LeBron has never played with a guy like Shaq or even close so he shouldnt be discredited for that cause Kobe had the luxury of playin with Shaq!! Now if Kobe wins it this year then he will be in the position as Jordan, Bird, Magic etc.. in leadin his team to the championship, not havin a better player lead him to the championship!!! Got Em!!
holy shit enserio. i'm not saying he;s the better defender i'm saying he's a good defender, that shit was directed at kos cause he said james couldnt d up when he can. i already said this to didnt i? unless someone said something and i missed but if not then ur trippin over nothin
WAAAAAAAAAAY different then peyton's case. peyton usually single handedly loses it for the colts and he has all the allstar talent around him every year. LeBron has just him to rely on. he beat pistons by himself in the playoffs to make the finals and thats saying something, but u cant beat a team like spurs with just one guy. LeBron doesnt have peyton syndrome and he aint even close.

Kraz dont trip homie!! Some folks just hatin cause there are actually people that wanna give LeBron his due!! Anyway on anotha note, I checked out that laker/kings game tonight and wow! Kobe scored 6 points in the 2nd half and disappeared in the 4th when they needed him most!! Dam kos and company what happened? Guess there was no 4th quarter magic!! Got Em!!
I agree with Bay-wit-it...
LeBron being a better scorer than Kobe? LMFAO... That's too funny... and Kobe playin' 2nd fiddle to Shaq? That can be easily be reversed... Shaq was/is a dominant force down low... but who came through in clutch situations? Who guarded the other teams best perimeter player? Who nailed clutch free throws to close games out? Who hit clutch jumpers to ice games when the big man was out with foul trouble or was sat down because of "hack-a-Shaq" (liability at the free throw line)? But yet he was 2nd fiddle?

Exactly Lebron is very young and he has time to mster his already good jump shot. He might not be able to jump as high as he can now when he reaches the age Kobe is at, but he is just clearly not on Kobes level right now.
That argument can also go against Lebron because I can see if he was a sophmore or a rookie but he came into this league out of high-school so hes already a what 5yr vet? Also Kobe has been in this league for ten+ yrs and that has got to wear on his body.
Kobe wasnt at Lebrons level at the same age but he was damn sure close and we cant be too sure Lebron will continue to grow and become the great player Kobe is or even Jordan.
Good post Tony.

Im done with tony on this subject cause his views are just way off in my eyes, but bay u are pushin it but I will respond to u. U forgot Kobe came str8 outta high school to so dont use that against LeBron!! And no he wasnt close to LeBron in his 5th year!! And as for the future why discuss cause none of us know what the future holds so all we can go on is now!! And are u one of those that think Kobe is better than Jordan?? Cause your last sentence sounds that way just curious!! Got Em!!
Please stop using the "he wasn't as good as him at this point in his career" nonsense as some sort of an argument.
The individual who comes into the league later greatly benefits from what the individual he is being compared to has accomplished, thus, he can evolve his game to a greater point earlier in his career than the previous guy.

I didnt start that argument, but since it was brought up I threw in my 2 cents!! I try to make it cut and dry! LeBron is a better overall player in my eyes plain & simple!! And as for guys comin in later to benefit on who he's compared to......Well Kobe aint no where near Jordan and he came in after and is compared to him!! If u think otherwise thats on u, but I would strongly disagree!! Got Em!!
