LeBron

[warriorfan]

Love stats Pre-LeBron - 26/13/2/59% TS
Bosh stats Pre-LeBron - 24/11/2/59%TS
Pau stats Pre-Kobe - 19/8/3/59% TS

It's safe to say that Kevin Love and Chris Bosh were better than Pau Gasol before they joined with their new teams

LeBron needed Bosh and Love as third options when he won

Kobe had Paul Gasol as a second option when he won

LeBron would not win any championships with the 08-10 Laker teams

[Akrazotile]

Ouch.

Kobe was the second option on title teams.

[warriorfan]

Ouch.

Kobe was the second option on title teams.

Le2011 was the second option on losing teams...

[LAmbruh]

Curry and Kobe fans have a mutual bond


They were both disrespectfully 4/44 - 0/55 their first handful of Finals

[Akrazotile]

He gave Wade an opportunity to prove himself and it failed. After that Lebron took over first option duties and they won back to back. Even tho Wade was already washed up by that point.

So that means Wade couldnt lead his favored team to a title in 2011, correct?

What happen the following 2yrs when Wade handed the team over to LeBron?

Wade was able to do it by himself before Bron came along for the ride. Shows you how bad LeBron really was in 2011. He got outscored by Jason Terry for Christ’s sake.

no need to rub it in....

Kevin love better than Gasol?

No thanks

[G0ATbe]

Bosh and Love werent better than Gasol. And prime Shaq was better than Bosh/Love combined as well as Kobe.

I don't think any objective basketball fan will argue that Kobe has done significantly more and achieved significantly more where it really matters with much much less than Lebron.

Kobe could only dream of having a Top 3 GOAT SG guard in Wade and an All-star PF in Bosh for his prime.

[SouBeachTalents]

According to some people those third options were even better than Kobe

That list looks pretty accurate. By 2010 Kobe was 31 years old and lost a step. That is one of the reasons why his back to back titles with Pau as his second option were so impressive.

[AussieSteve]

Ouch.

Kobe was the second option on title teams.

According to the Total Points Added metric, Kobe was 2nd option for all of his rings.

As per nbamath.com (https://nbamath.com/the-100-highest-peaks-reached-by-nba-players-in-the-modern-era/)...

[QUOTE]Yes, Kobe Bryant was a better basketball player than Pau Gasol. You may have noticed he has yet to appear in this countdown. But during the latter

[kennethgriffen]

pau = 1 allstar game pre kobe

love = 3

bosh = 5



OP's onto something

As per nbamath.com (https://nbamath.com/the-100-highest-peaks-reached-by-nba-players-in-the-modern-era/)...




Pau's three year peak (09-11) is rated as the 54th highest peak all time by this metric. There are 99 players who had peaks better than Kobe's 09-11 run.

[3ball]

Its common knowledge that Love and Bosh were better than most of the nba's FIRST options before joining Bron

Lebron's weak teamwork simply necessitates more talent than Kobe needed, or MJ, wade, Dirk, Duncan, Isiah, hakeem, 15-16' curry, etc

[TheCorporation]

Ouch.

Kobe was the second option on title teams.

Well that was just too easy:lol Nice try, OP.

[Gileraracer]

It's not a secret that Lebron had some of the most stacked teams ever and still lost
