Kobe is proving that he is not on mjs level and the Lakers front office is doing a horrible job of running a franchise. I mean who thought Nash Howard n Kobe would work. Kobe needs the ball n won't pass. Nash needs the ball but also needs people running round looking for an open shot, not just standing around asking for.the ball. And Howard just doesn't like or like playing next too Kobe

@gage they lost in the first round, yes so? Did you expect smush and kwame to lead them to the finals? They did took the first seed to seven games. Pretty good considering half those players have dropped out of the nba all together because they are so terrible.

I guess the old guy (Kobe) just took Lebron to school. Guarded him full court in the last few minutes and blocked him twice. Turning back time for a few minutes.

My point is Kobe and Jordan have never won a playoff series without another really good player.

lebron won 66 games with that team. The next year he won 61 games. Lebron won 58 his first year in miami, was on pace for 57 wins last year, and is on pace for 59 wins this year. And thats with the east getting WORSE in quality. What happened? Why is he getting less wins with a supposedly much better supporting cast?

Guapamole Slanger

Bosh isn't an All Star. The only one on that team who is is Wade. They are good enough to win chips and that's less than what Kobe had in LA when he won and what Jordan had in Chicago. Jordan excelled when the Birds and Kareems retired Magic was gone Isaiah was getting older and leaving.

your crazy, 2005-06 lakers went 45-37 despite having a starting line-up of smush parker - kobe - odom - kwame brown - chris mihm. Their best bench player was luke walton for christ's sake. And lbjs supporting cast in cleveland was not terrible. He had the best defensive player of all time down low, an above-average point guard, varejao (whose emerged as one of the best centers in the league now), and tons of great three-point shooters.

That Cleveland team won 16 games after LeBron left. Quit with that nonsense. They sucked. Period. You can't provide one shred of proof that Cleveland was/is a decent team. 16 wins proves how bad they really were.

J Kidd is absolutely one of the best point guards ever. Nash is too. I was just trying to irritate a few people. Lol I don't really care enough to keep arguing these things. I will say that Wilt is the best center ever, Magic best PG ever, Jordan best SG ever, Bird best PF ever and LeBron best SF ever. The reason I stick up for LeBron now is that he's done enough to silence his critics, yet haters are gonna hate on him. MJ doesn't like him, because he feels threatened. You can tell he doesn't support anyone else taking over the GOAT category so soon. You think Wilt was a hater like that to MJ? No. I just think it's immature to not wish someone well.

Using your rationale then J Kidd and AI should be in the discussion of best ever since they took weak teams to the finals.

Again comparing apples and oranges. Different times, different teammates, different competition. The NBA has been for the most part a Center's league. MJ only player to dominate without a very good center.

Put "the other guy" on the Bobcats and they make the playoffs. Fact. Can't say that about Kobe.

LeBron was getting to Finals while Jordan was losing in the Conference finals. You know this fact and choose to ignore it. Like a snake oil salesman not telling you a bad ingredient is in a product. Jordan was losing in the playoffs too. Cut it out.

Say hello to the bad guy

What you're not understanding is that Jordan led his team to a 3-0 record in the finals and Lebron led his to a 1-1(1-2) record if you don't want to count the year he had "no talent" around him.

Come on, that comparison is not fair. Kobe is at the end of the journey with a bad wheel, in a bad system. He is doing his best (for his age) in a very tough market. He should be happy with a hand full of rings.

Everyone seems to forget how long it took the Heat to jell. They took months to figure it out, as will the Lakers. I think the Lakers will make the playoffs, but will be hard pressed to continue.
