yes? is this a trick question? no. about equal. dwade has one of the more impressive individual performances to win a title (both the conference finals and finals in 2006) and has shown he's about as impressive and tough and clutch as anybody. it's just that kobe got to play with shaquille o'neal and dwade is playing with jermaine "i just shot 9-44 in the playoffs" o'neal.
seriously??? u think Lebron > Kobe???? im a kobe hater, i will never root for him in my life, but im not delusional. Kobe Bryant is the BEST player right now in the NBA
throw lebron on the lakers this year and see what happens. im going to guess they would be at least as good.
What does switching teams have to do with anything? How would that help LeBron's numbers on the offensive end besides assists (although he already gets those assists in Cleveland)?
LeBron will ship Bynum and Gasol's asses out after the first 2 games since they clog his lane and he can't get stats.
The number of Lebron are already much better than kobe's. The only thing kobe has nowadays is he is winning. But that is a result of his team. therefor he said : switch teams and see what happens. lebron will also win if he was with he lakers.
Yes. I was just explaining to IMF why peleincubus said "put lebron on the lakers and see what happens". However winning is not the onlyt barometer, otherwise nobody will ever be better than Russel. I think it is a combination of both Winning and individual exellence. Winning should also count more if you are the main man on the team (so Kobe only has one championship as being the main man, still one less the Dream), otherwise Horry Kerr etc would be among the greatest ever.
so tell me this, when Shaq had all star Swing men/wing players like Penny and then later Eddie Jones/Nick Van Exel, why did they come up with 0 championships until Kobe got the full time starting nod in a full season? Kobe's contributions aren't replaceable. In some nights in those 3 peat teams Kobe was 1a and in other nights Shaq was 1a. In some moments of hte game they'd exchange their roles
reading that makes me think about bill cartwright. what if jordan had gasol. so much of greatness is team oriented. and now i'm thinking about kobe playing with cartwright. would he be asking to be traded?
You're getting pitifully, pitifully weaker the closer you get to the ring, Frodo. Who is the ONLY player ever recorded, in history, to have actually uttered the actual words "Andrew Bynum? F—ing ship his ass out"? I'm really not one to rub things thing, but the self ownage was just too evident here.
Looks like Laker fans are begging for the Bynum for Bosh swap to happen since Bynum is incapable of staying healthy and two isn't as good as a fit as Bosh would be to this laker lineup
so no fans weren't pissed he said it then and they won't be pissed if he says it now as long as it translates into more wins for the team :grin:
Yes he is great. He is great at copying others moves. but can you copy others and become one of the top 5 all time greats? dun think so.
You could argue that.. If you were to base your life upon copying others is a different thing than do it now and then
What are you talking about? Basing your life on copying others? Not all aspects of his game are from some legend out there... I don't know how you came to that conclusion. If you're going to "acknowledge" a player for taking/learning another player's moves... it shouldn't matter how many times the player has done it.
