The Hawks took them to seven as well, does that mean the Hawks are better than the Lakers?

The Celtics simple played like a totally different team as soon as they reached the ECF.

If the cavs and the East are so terrible, why have the east won the championship three times in the last five years?

And why did The Cavs take the Celtics to seven while the Lakers only took them to six?

“??? Lebron won 50 games and made it to the Finals with WHO????? Ok, Big Z. And then???? wtf are you talking about.”

Yeah and LeBron plays in what conference the EAST!?! Kobe would do much better that LeBron does in the East.

“Kobe Bryant is the only player in the league that is expected to win without good players now that he has a good team he is still penalized”

Why do laker fans keep pointing to the fact that Kobe has rings? We all know it was Shaq! If he and D-wade had hooked up earlier Kobe would have had nadda. We saw him get shat on last year in the fnals. So what’s really hood. LeBron passed him in almost every offensive statistical category last year (except in 3’s). 80 points was 2 seasons ago. We’ll call that Kobe’s prime. But now it’s LBJ’s time to shine.

What? So just because Shaq won a title without Kobe makes LeBron the better player? Tell me what did Shaq do in that series did he win Finals MVP no it was Wade.

Kobe Bryant is the only player in the league that is expected to win without good players now that he has a good team he is still penalized.

can anyone really say that swapping kobe and lebron would still result in the cavs taking the celtics to seven games without being labelled a MAJOR laker homer?

THAT is the question i’d like to see responses to.

yeah, kobe did try to involve his teammates more but it wasn’t a natural inclination, nor would i describe it as a strength for kobe, whereas. if players like ben wallace didn’t continually brick layups, lebron would have had at least 2 more assists a game for the season.

i think a good way to look at it would be to oompare joe montana & steve young. both are great QB’s but their mindsets were different. montana was about winning by putting the ball in the hands of the guy who gives the team the best chance of winning. steve young was more about what HE could do to win the game.

while lebron has monopolized the ball in the cavs offense, he did so largely because that gave the cavs the best chance to score. but the olympics showed that he is winning to defer for the team; he had players around him so that his monopolizing the ball actually hurt the team’s chances to win.

I agree with you, but no one has seen the best of lebron yet. As much as I hate “the Queen”, i think he wouldve had atleast one if he had legit players, only legit players in his team now is mo will, boobie gibson, Z, and Big Ben. Kobe had Shaq in his prime, so i dont know bout that. I hate Lebron but i have to say if he had better team he wudve got atleast 1 ring

Nicely said… except the part where you started talking about Lebron’s body and Kobe being one of the most athletic guys in the league so you can’t compare the two. Kobe is one of the more athletic guys in the league, but Lebron IS the most athletic guy in the league. The dude is BIG! yes we all know he’s big, but he runs like a 4.4 or 4.5 or something too! that is just insane for a guy that is 6′8″ and weighs 260!! He is BIGGER and FASTER than Kobe, and his quickness is almost as good.

However when it comes to the skill set, Kobe can many things right now that Lebron simply cannot. But as far as who is the better player, i feel an argument can be made for both, but me being a Laker fan will side with Kobe. It’s just amazes me that Lebron is only like 24 or something… stop hating, just sit back and enjoy the greatness in the NBA right now.
