26 YO Kobe + Wade + Bosh -- How Many Titles?

[Soundwave]

Talking a prime Kobe Bryant + 26 year old Bosh (circa 2010) + 28 year old Wade (circa 2010).

Aging big three Celtics all but done, aging Spurs in the West. Ray Allen, Battier, etc. added to the mix.

How many titles? I say 3 in 4 years.

1 or 2 depending on Bosh's injury in 2012 and Wade's health in 2013 and 2014.

[Bigsmoke]

LeBron took down the thunder because of his passing.:rockon:

Kobe will shoot his team out the game

Kobe would destroy that Pacers team IMO. They'd get torched. Bosh being out would just be a greenlight to drop 40+ on them. In that situation you want a volume scorer.

The team that could bother Kobe would be the Bulls, but without Rose (making it so easy on Kobe here) they would be of no threat.

Not 6, not 7...

Kobe would destroy that Pacers team IMO. Too soft, too stupid, they'd get torched. Bosh being out would just be a greenlight to drop 40+ on them. In that situation you want a volume scorer.

You have absolutely zero quality bigs. Plus the Celtics were right up next with no one to guard Garnett....

Kobe wouldnt have done shit.

Pacers bigs are overrated. Hibbert is a clutz and a doofus.

Miami would be fine. Celtics were too old by this stretch and Bosh was back for most of that series IIRC. Too easy.

Hibbert was fine in 2012 and 2013. Absolutely dominate in 2013.
David West is good and not overrated at all. There is no one on the Heat to guard them so they will dominate especially if Bosh or Lebron is out.

Hibbert is a joke, just overrated in this era because there are no other bigs to expose what a mess of a player he is.

Put him in the 90s and he'd get his sh*t worked by a center of even Brad Daugherty quality.

Hibbert is a joke, just overrated in this era because there are no other bigs to compare him to.

Put him in the 90s and he'd get his sh*t worked by a center like Brad Daugherty even.
That's nice. Has absolutely nothing to do with my point though.

[zoom17]

bump the older threads:lol

[SexSymbol]

4-5

Kobe would drop 30-40 easy, lets be real, 26-year-old Kobe was a scoring machine. Saying he "wouldn't do sh*t" is just borderline full retard.

The team that could hold him in check would be the 2007/08 Celtics, but by 2010/11, age was catching up to them and fast. 2004 Pistons were long gone too. Those are the two teams that could give him some headaches, but the Pacers ... lol.

[The Choken One]

Kobe won with LO and Pau when he was much older. Given the same time frame, much better cast and prime Kobe, easily 3.

[Bandito]

All of them, specially 2010 because he doesnt choke that bad.

[SouBeachTalents]

There's not a chance in the world Kobe would have led Miami to a title over the Spurs in the Finals this year

[SouBeachTalents]

This is such an asinine hypothetical considering Kobe & Wade play the same exact position

[Soundwave]

This is such an asinine hypothetical considering Kobe & Wade play the same exact position

C - Birdman
PF - Bosh
SF - Kobe
SG - Wade
PG - Cole/Chalmers


Problem solved.

Then I guess it's a good thing Wade was essentially the Heat's point guard before the Big 3 formed.

Bosh game back in game 5 coming off the bench.

Bosh didn't make a noteworthy contribution throughout that series until game 7 so what the fukk are u talking about?

[Bigsmoke]

The spurs were taking the ball away from wade with ease and u wanted him to be your PG?

[DaSeba5]

Kobe and Wade can't coexist. It wouldn't make sense. They play the same position and need the ball in their hands. LeBron and Wade coexisted better because they play different positions. You're going to play Kobe or Wade at SF? That's not going to work.

He said circa 2010 didn't he? That Wade was still dominant.

I honestly think it could work as long as Wade is put at point. LeBron and Wade coexisted because Wade is actually pretty damn good off the ball and also because Wade regressed to a point where he wasn't good enough to split the ball 50-50 with LeBron.

[AintNoSunshine]

1 in 2011

[dubeta]

LMAO kobe playing SF

Can you imagine Kobe playing for the heat, guarding Durant, Paul Pierce, Paul George, Carmelo, and sometimes switching on to Hibbert? :roll:

They would be the worst defensive team in the league

:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

Not with 4 RPG Bosh as your center.

And Kobe never averaged 40ppg before.. If he was capable to, it wouldn't be against the Pacers that year that's for sure.

[boozehound]

probably zero

[Levity]

I dont play these hypothetical games, but saying a 26 year old kobe cant play at SF and defend other SF's is beyond stupid
