just realized all of lebrons ring chasing/colluding/bail outs actually helped kobe

[kennethgriffen]

if 2012 never happens the thunder never break up, they pay harden whatever he wants and they rack up 6-7 titles... durant surpasses kobe and lebron never comes close to either

if 2013 never happens duncan goes 6 for 6 and passes kobe and lebron never comes close to either. with them being tied at 5 both with finals L's its more of a debate

if 2016 never happens currys probably looking at a 5 peat right now with at least 3-4 finals MVPs and no end in sight. he probly ends up the GOAT



so in a way lebrons colluding/ring chasing/bail outs destroyed 3 historic possibilities and sort of evened out the playing field

it happened to kobe too in 2008... if pierce/allen/KG never collude kobe ends up 6 for 7


some guys just ruin it for everybody else

but it all balances out in the end


i forgive you lebron

Durant would never surpass Kobe because he is a worse player and leader.

durants right up there with kobe and bird as the most skilled cut throat offensive assassins in history. he would have easly led a team to a title as finals mvp at the age of 23 and had as much confidence in himself back then as he has now had lebron not colluded and ruined everything/stunted durants development and ruined the thunders future by cheating

Probably don't need a thread every time you feel threatened about how a man is ranked in comparison to another man when it comes to putting a ball in a hoop.
