I hate that argument, for one because half of the rings Kobe has one he wasn't even the best player on his team, it was Shaq. Kobe only one 1 ring w/o Shaq, and lebron is about to have his first when his first 5-6 seasons were with a cavaliers team who's second best player was 3rd string on the clippers this year, and 2 out of their prime big men in Shaq and Jamison.
if lebron had a solid team like the lakers in 200's like Kobe did he would be at 4-5 rings already, considering the playoff pushes he made by himself.
Excuses for a player and assholes are all the same, and by that logic are you saying now that LeBron is actually on the cusp of getting his FIRST title (with 2 other multiple time all stars supporting him) that THAT'S not equal to Kobe and Shaq being teamed up for their multiple title run? Wade only has one title (with Shaq there), Kobe has one title without Shaq yada yada and LeBron still has 0, either way, who cares? Kobe and MJ (the greatest ever IMO) will have more hardware than his cry baby ass regardless of who was and wasn't on their team for years to come. People still making excuses for LeBron when he has Wade and Bosh right there with him is ridiculous, he still hasn't gotten it done until maybe later tonight
Sorry but Wade and Bosh aren't super star caliber players. Wade is probably the most overrated guy in the NBA right now, he misses a ton of shots, makes bad decisions, and doesn't have half the talent current super syats in the league have. (like durant, kobe, lebron, etc) Bosh is soft as fuck, and albeit a great player not superstar worthy. Kevin Love plays the PF exactly like him and has a better shot better rebounding, and more muscle to be able to play in the low post more like a PF should. It's like when the celtic's got there big 3, the only true great one was garnett, the other 2 were top quality player but not super stars.
Lebron will finish with more rings and award then kobe will, that's a fact. Kobe only got his MVP because people thought "he should get one before he retires" he wasn't the best player that season, just like derrick rose last year, lebron should of had 4 MVp's right now.
and you seem to be forgetting basketball is a team sport, you can run through a bunch of the east with 1 player of James caliber, but you'll never win the finals against better teams with more talent in the west. The Heat are only in their second year of being a team and already about to win a championship, compared to shaq + Kobe being on same team for 3-4 years before they won their first, and it wasn't even Kobe who was the most dominant player in the first championship runs on his team, it was Shaq. So how can you argue kobe is better when he wasn't the reason they kept winning? lol. That's like saying when the mavericks won last year it was because of Caron Butler and not Dirk, no one is going to take you serious.
