You can't blame Lebron for last year. Both Irving and Love were injured. There's a big difference. For 3 of his 5 championships, Kobe wasn't even the best player on his team. And while the the Cavs do have talent, let's not overrate Love/Irving. Neither of them were able to lead their team to a winning season, much less less a playoff appearance. How does that compare to Pau Gasol, who led the Grizzlies to 3 straight postseason appearances?
I love how his has turned into a Kobe v LeBron debate. Just read what Durant said about him. AGAIN, Kobe is not my guy. I have disliked him for years. I just think the respect level has been established. http://thebiglead.com/2016/04/11/kob...ympic-workout/
