How many rings would Kobe have if he super team jumped/manipulated front offices?

[hiphopanonymous]

As it stands Kobe got 5 rings the most difficult way possible, staying on one team and roughing it out through all stages of any rebuilding processes that he stayed out of.

What would his ring count be had he joined forces with the Spurs best players? Or invited superstars to join him and forced front offices to ditch young players or veteran coaches instead of working with them.

By staying on the same team? :lol WRONG

That's literally the easiest way because players don't leave bad teams. Think of people that have five or more rings, none of them left their respective organizations...

Kobe 5
Duncan 5
Magic 5
Jordan 6

Lol FAIL

Players dont leave good situations lol Nice try.

Right a 17 year old “manipulated his way” to the Lakers.... :oldlol:

:no:

Jerry West recognized the talent of Kobe and pulled the strings to make that happen. Kobe was a kid he didn’t have control this is nothing like modern superteam colluding where “rival” superstars go on jetski trips together and decide who takes pay cuts to team up and where
He threatened every organization other than the Lakers that if they drafted him he wouldn't play and would return to Italy. Hornets called his bluff and as he packed his bags to return to Italy they traded him to LA. This isn't manipulation? :lol

A 17 year old kid was doing what he was instructed to do - by West. Jerry was pulling the strings and it was due to his eye for talent. You guys act like Kobe was some mastermind before he was even able to buy cigarettes :lol

[SouBeachTalents]

Playing with peak Shaq & Phil is winning rings in the most difficult way possible? What a fcking clown :oldlol:

[TheCorporation]

Players dont leave good situations. Starting a career with a good organization is the EASIEST way to success. Nice try. Just ask

-Duncan 5
-Kobe 5
-Jordan 6
-Magic 5

You lose, OP.

Duncan winning 5 in Cleveland or Minnesota? :lol
Jordan winning 6 without Pippen?
Magic winning 5 in Cleveland?

You get it, I'm sure...Caught again.

Nope leading a small market franchise to a championship is the hardest thing a player can do only LeGOAT lead a small market franchise to a championship :bowdown:

100% correct I mean what was OP even thinking?

Literally every person with five or more rings played for a big Market team and never left for obvious reasons

[StrongLurk]

Probably less than the amount of ALTS OP has

[Andrei89]

He won 0 rings in Charlotte

[ImKobe]

Imagine Kobe forced his way to San Antonio after 2004. We're talking 8+ rings and a healthy ending to his career with Pop's minutes' management.

In their first superteam

paul pierce = 66 wins + championship

lebron = 58

Thats really the reason why lebron needs superteams statnerd

OMG I completely forgot about the minutes management system in San Antonio.

Kobe RIGHT NOW would have another 4 years to go under pops holy shyt. That alters my equation right there. My guestimate of 8 might turn to 9 or more under SA management :wtf: :bowdown:

I’m guessing 7, maybe 8 rings using this modern strategy? So really apples to apples Kobe has about *8 rings in the context of today’s era. Also according to my patented era calculator with this seasons no defense rules his stats adjust to multiple 35+ seasons, a 40ppg season, and a career high of 90 points. :wtf:
Amazing :applause:

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

Yes, playing with Shaq in his prime, coached by Phil with excellent role players is truly the most difficult way possible. It's like you guys live in this fantasy world and though any other respectable message board wouldn't tolerate this nonsense for more than a few posts, you've found each other here at ISH, where you can get away with it. So you can pretend that the absolute nonsense you talk actually makes sense.

[BigShotBob]

Funny thing is when Kobe wanted out of the Lakers he wanted to go to arguably one of the worst teams in the league at the same in the Bulls in 04'/05'.

From 05-07 he could have went to Minnesota, Orlando, Houston, Denver, Washington, San Antonio, etc, etc.

He didn't do it but he had a lot of options available to him.

0 if he stayed with Hornets

Absolutely. He'd be like Dirk in Dallas with 1 or KG in Minny with 1


12be would fall to...6-for-24be
