    people actually think lebron is better than Kobe?

    Kobe didn't jump from team to team asking to team up. Yes people did join him later but he got Pau ****ing gasol and turned into the terror of the league.

    I know, would watch yao and mcgrady game after game and kobe was a mofo

    Kobe was an incredible player since he could do it on both ends and had that killer instinct in the playoffs, but he was pretty damn far down the list of all-time greats when it came to efficiency. As in, outside the top 20 statistically speaking. Whereas LeBron is in the top 3-5 players ever in that regard. I would count Shaq as the "bus driver", or at worst co-equal with Kobe for those early 00s Lakers championships. For the later ones with Pau, the Lakers had a great team that was incredibly deep. When guys like a prime Bynum, Odom, and Artest are your "roleplayers" you know it's an extremely powerful overall group. Some of LeBron's championships have definitely had less help than that.

    In any case, Go Nuggets, bury LA tonight!

    big ass Jokic runs down the court at full speed every time. I remember when Denver would duck the Rockets mainly because Clint Capela would eat Jokic down the court just running fast. Jokic must have PTSD.

    Rocket probably contributed to Jokic being one of the best players in the playoffs.

    When DLo isn't scoring he's beyond useless. He's actually worse than Green on defense.

    man, Green is going to beat these "bad defender" allegations with Ime, watch. Green is a willing a defender and locked up some pretty good players this season. his help defense is awful, but I think that was a coaching issue.

    I want to watch a 'fair' game. I want Nuggets to win but I see 2 replays with a Laker getting shoved midair fight for a rebound and Murray pushing off to get a shot off.
