If the city of LA was in the east coast

[Mr. Jabbar]

How many championships would kobe have?

*i will be reporting troll answers (less than 5, etc.)

[Dr Hawk]

1 or 2

[Kvnzhangyay]

How would there be any difference- it's just the WCF outcome would be the finals outcome, except when he would lose in 04 in ECF

Also he'd probably lose more in the finals because the ECF is so weak

Still 5 rings, with more finals appearances and more losses

[kennethgriffin]

we have to consider the fact that upsets happen. and a free pass to the finals every year would mean beating better teams atleast 2 out of 6 times



so

1999 - finals
2000 - finals ( win )
2001 - finals ( win )
2002 - finals ( win )
2003 - finals
2004 - finals
2006 - ECF
2007 - 2nd round
2008 - finals
2009 - finals ( win )
2010 - finals ( win )
2011 - finals
2012 - finals


we'd have to assume kobe would have made 11 finals.

and we'd also have to assume he lucks out atleast 2 of 99/03/04/08/11/12

giving him 7 titles

[Real14]

6 or 7.

[riseagainst]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzeroooooooooooooo oooooo

[ralph_i_el]

Less because Shaq never would have came there.

I'm going to say 3

[selrahc]

easily 9 or 10

[SexSymbol]

6-7 is the realistic answer

[inclinerator]

reported

[NBAplayoffs2001]

The east coast vs west coast hip hop rivalry in the 90s would have never happened? :confusedshrug:

[bluechox2]

u mean the team...not the city

[unknowns8]

the answer is 0 coz he WAS drafted in the East by Charlotte ... so he ends up a Hornet for life with a nowhere career and retires a nobody ... maybe he takes Dell Curry's franchise scoring record, I dunno, but nothing more significant than that

[JohnFreeman]

Less than 5

[pegasus]

I say at least 7. He would have been even more obsessed and determined to pass Jordan's ring count.

[TheBigVeto]

Depends on where it is.
If LA takes place of NYC then as many as David Stern wants.
If LA takes place of Boston or a small market like Charlotte, then 0, Stern hates them all.

[Nash]

how the hell would any of it change? They'd still lose to whoever beat them in the West that year in the finals if they make it there.

also would probably have less finals trips because they'd still lose in the ECF to whoever beat them in the finals the years they lost

stupid thread.

2003 - finals ( might win)
2004 - ECF

2008 - ECF
2009 - 2nd round
2010 - ECF
2011 - 2nd round
2012 - 2nd round


we'd have to assume kobe would have made 1-2 finals.

and we'd also have to assume he lucks out atleast 1 of 02/03

giving him 7 titles

FTFY.

2 Finals. He'd probably win 1 or luck out and win 2.

Do you honestly think that the '11 and '12 Lakers would've beaten the '11 and '12 Heat? Delusional.

They unfortunately lose to Detroit in the ECF in 2004.

[Nash]

They unfortunately lose to Detroit in the ECF in 2004.
same with boston in 2008

but then again kenneth is very special

[ISHGoat]

op is a retard

[CelticBaller]

lmao how it would be any different? kobe usually loses to a top seed in the west so he'll lose to the WCF winner anyways, and no way in hell would Kobe's LA would go past the Pistons, the Celtics or even the Heat

[Rocketswin2013]

Didn't Kobe play his worst against Eastern Conference contenders? That's why he was at his worst in the Finals. No?

[ShackEelOKneel]

same with boston in 2008

but then again kenneth is very special

Yeah, I missed that one.

[HOoopCityJones]

He'd make The finals damn near every year, that's for sure.

[CelticBaller]

Damn Kobe fans are really delusional :oldlol:

The Lakers lost to the Celtics and Pistons

How would they made it to the Finals?



And u know damn well the Lakers arent

[nba_55]

3. He would never make the finals if he met Lebron.

[SwayDizzle]

6 rings

[TheCorporation]

What would the ring total be if LeBron was in Kobe's shoes (played on the Lakers) and Kobe played in Cleveland.

LeBron = ?
Kobe = ?

[nba_55]

Lebron = 8
Kobe= 0

[Mr. Jabbar]

What would the ring total be if LeBron was in Kobe's shoes (played on the Lakers) and Kobe played in Cleveland.

LeBron = ?
Kobe = ?

Lebron = 0 (1st rounds would be like the finals he's got through his career, and we all know 2/6)
Kobe = 9

[CelticBaller]

Only idiots think Kobe is some non factor. You ni99as stay reaching. :lol
So Kobe would beat the the 2004-7 Pistons or the 2008 celtics? Would he even be a match for the big 3 heat? Lmao

[HOoopCityJones]

Even if for arguments sake they were able to keep Kobe from the promise land for the few years they were dominant between them, that's still like 17 more years a prime Kobe would be in a weak ass East, feasting. :lol

You tryna make it sound like either of those Teams were dynasties who had the East on lock for years, and Kobe essentially did beat the 08 Celtics Team in 2010. That was the same fuccing core, loser. :facepalm

You do realize the East is filled with Great Defensive Teams? Kobe would also have to beat the 2003-2006 Pistons, 2004-2006 Heat, Big 3 Celtics, and the Big 3 Heat to go to the Finals every year :oldlol:

The 2010 Celtics also were older than the 2008 Celtics and weren't as great albeit still good.

:roll:

Yeah the legendary teams you are mentioning specifically had good defenses but the East is just trash. That's BAD OFFENSE you witness not good defense 99% of the time.

The 2010 celtics were not even in the same breath as the 08 celtics idiot, one won 66 games and the other 50.

So Kobe wouldn't even beat those teams, and then to top it off he would eventually lose to the WCF like he did in those years.

For example, if he does somehow manage to beat the Pistons in 05? He loses to the Spurs easily, like he did that year, in 11? He somehow beats the heat? Gets swept By the Mavs in the finals, like he did that year


Please, kobe would still have the same ring count, with probably more loses in the finals, grow up

You clutch on to those to two highly touted defensive squads who weren't even a factor beyond 3 very good years. There were more Teams who made the Finals out East aside from two Teams ya know, and trust me Kobe would've torched every single one of them just as much as Lebron could, it's hilarious you're even trying to make this argument.

Yet all you rest your hat on is the only two Teams Kobe lost to in a Finals, what about the other 5 trips jack ass? :facepalm

The 2010 Celtics were deeper than their 50 Wins but still nowhere near as great as the 2008 Celtics.

Didn't I say he'd had the same ring count? That's it, like I said in my first post, nothing would change, just a little more loses in the finals probably

Ok

1999- Finals(lose)
2000-2002- Titles(Possibly 2001 FMVP)
2003- Finals(lose)
2004 ECF
2005-2006- Doesn't get past 2nd round
2007- Maybe a Finals Appearance?
2008- ECF
2009- Title
2010- Title
2011-2013- Doesn't get past ECF/2nd Round

Career would look mostly the same with a Few more Finals losses.

[kennethgriffin]

for the idiots that keep quoting me

2004 - malones healthy in the ECF ( and 2-3-2 series screwed LA )

2008 - no 2-3-2 either... game 6 would have been in LA instead of boston

[Wally450]

[jstern]

He would have 5 championships, if he still had Shaq, Gasol, etc. Going up against the same teams that they beat and that beat them.

But then again, considering that Kobe is not that great of a Finals performer, they would probably only win or two, with the diminished performance. Would cost Shaq some championships, considering how Kobe performs in the Finals.
