but No.2-7 on the Cleveland team collectively is better than No.2-7 on the Lakers team You're just limiting it to one player
Both Jamison and Mo Williams have been all-stars and I'm sure they would have a spot in 30 team's rotation, if not starting.
Well, that isn't really the point. Kobe demanded a trade so he could play with beter players and win a championship. He's hypocritical for criticizing James for joining a better team as a free agent.
The point is Kobe had a legit case as to why he wanted to leave, the incompetence of the management made it an unsuccesful environment to win in...Lebron's is....?
Was it the incompetence of management that caused him and Shaq to feud? Laker's management sure seems a lot more competent than Cleveland's right now. I think LeBron's play make Cleveland seem a lot more competent than they really were.
Those were flops that shouldn't have been called. The Lakers get plenty to go in their favor as well (especially Fisher). Neither of those was in the fourth quarter of game 7 though.
Dude, Now you are going all over the place. You are talking about before Kobe "got help" In comparison, before LeBron "got help" he had Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, Sasha Pavlovik, etc., and led his team to the finals Kobe led his group of "scrubs" to a first round exit. LeBron led his group of "scrubs" to the finals Then Kobe whined and moaned and got Pau Gasol. Who out of Mo Williams, Varejao, or Jamison or any other Cav besides LeBron, would you give Pau Gasol up for??
Yes, but Kobe complained when he had garbage players. The Cavs' roster kept giving LeBron what he wanted; Jamison, Williams, Shaq, even. If Kobe's team kept improving like that, pretty sure he wouldn't demand a trade. The Cavs have been the best team in the league, statistically, so there should be no reason why LeBron doesn't wait for the Cavs to get better. If anything, why not sign a one or two year extension? You can see what the management gets you, and if you don't like it then, bail.
He can cry all he wants. He has a ring for every weekday that he cries, to look at, making himself feel better.
Are you kidding me? No way you take Jamison, Mo, Varajeo, Shaq, Parker, and Delonte West over Gasol, Odom, Bynum, Artest, Fisher, and Shannon Brown. The Lakers are absolutely loaded - it's what allows Kobe to go 6-24 and still win game 7.
The Heat are the team to beat, not the Lakers. Kobe is on the decline and you will see it more this season. He's put on some weight, but not much. I think he got his contract, and he will never win his sixth ring.
Then why don't you show us the bogus calls in game 7 4th quarter? Celtics had 38 to 10 FT advantage in 2008 finals game 2 and I didn't see you complain.
The year LeBron in finals, Cavs won 50 games, would be No.6 seed in West facing Spurs in the first round. He would have been swept in first round if he's in west. Simple as that.
