yes but Shaq had Kobe not the other way around.
i'm not getting into this argument again. my stance is that Kobe is overrated. this isn't MY opinion, this is just based off the numbers, like what he actually does when he's on the court, the facts not opinions. He's great because he's been consistently very good (like top 5-10 player every year) for a long time. He's benefited from having a couple excellent players with him that got him the rings. But... his numbers just don't add up to being the best player at any one time over his career.
http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... areer.html thats PER avg over guys careers. Kobe is 18 on there, about where i feel he is all time
http://www.basketball-reference.com/lea ... eer_p.html since Kobe is so clutch and Lebron is such a choker when it comes to the playoffs i'll add the playoff averages.
http://www.82games.com/0910/CSORT11.HTM stats in 'crunch' time to add to the bullshit that Kobe is clutch and Lebron is a choker
they are both great players. Lebron is an alltime great player. Kobe has had an all time great career because of his production and of course his team success.
human nature is to let personal opinion get in the way of facts. Kobe is really good, top 20 player ever, but he's not even close to Lebron or MJ
