How many rings does Kobe win if he played his whole career in the East?

[PickernRoller]

And KG joined Kobe in his prime?

Discuss...

[SouBeachTalents]

Too many variables

What team does he get drafted to

Who are his teammates and coaches

When does KG join him

Who replaces him on the Lakers with Shaq

[Bankaii]

Can someone post Kobe’s Finals averages so we can see how much he dominated the weak East?

[RRR3]

Too many variables

What team does he get drafted to

Who are his teammates and coaches

When does KG join him

Who replaces him on the Lakers with Shaq
He doesn

[Loco 50]

Depends, is Shaq going with him so he can coattail again?

KG ain't enough.

[PickernRoller]

Gasol was enough. Soft euro nobody cared about.... until he joined Kobe of course. Then everybody including Pop was screaming.... :roll: :roll:

All fun and games when the best player in the league has no talent to work with while in his peak prime. Suddenly the leecher teams crap out and steer clear of the Lakers for 3 straight years when that equation changes...

B1tch please...

[Vino24]

if he get's drafted by the Hornets like he was suppose to he would have 0. Kobe is very bad vs the East. He would be lucky to make it to the conference finals.

[PickernRoller]

He didn’t need Shaq.

And he didn't need Gasol. Any legit star would have done the trick. Teams threw a hissy fit when we got Gasol and even Stern intervened when the Lakers were about to pair Kobe and Paul...

Fearing an accused rapist dominating the NBA for two decades... it's an image issue with Kobe. Always has been. Instead manufactured a fraud that fell short a gazillion times while given ample... ample opportunity. But he's the model family man, businessmen, charity-giver etc... at least that's the narrative. If you dig deep enough....

5-2 in the finals coming out of the west is very bad? So what do you call 3-6?

Correction: Pau/Bynum/Odom, the most talented frontcourt in the league were able to replace Shaq in carrying Kobe. Later they added Artest.

B1tch please.

Got him... :roll: :roll:

Low hanging fruit tho...

Kobe performed very bad vs the East teams IN the finals. He wouldn't even make it out of the east.

Anyone that mentions broken limbs Bynum as carrying anyone... :roll: :roll:

Here is the rope...

yup, terrible vs East teams and like you said he'd be positioned on a terrible east team also


think Gilbert Arenas career in Washington


5-11 career vs Cavaliers 03-10 (Lebron + Illgauskus)

[Wally450]

I'm going to say 0 since its a hypothetical and technically I can't be wrong.

[Loco 50]

:roll: :roll: :roll: Yeah, cause y'all didn't think you had Shaq's replacement at the time.

LeBron was 16-6 vs Kobe when he was on the stacked Lakers team. Imagine if Kobe played on a team equal to LeBron's :eek:

Tmac 2.0 at best :oldlol:

Why u do RRR3 like that? And then you both kiss and make out... disgusting!

Pretty sure Kobe wins more than two rings playing in his prime with a prime Wade and a prime Bosh.

Anyone that denies this is mentally challenged, insane and all of the above.

LeJuicy would use kobe as a 1st round outhouse

[Vino24]

actually he would treat Kobe in the 1st round like a white woman in a hotel room. No mercy. :oldlol:

[PickernRoller]

LeJuicy would use kobe as a 1st round outhouse

Le"Juicy" (fvcking homo) was too busy staying away from the Finals in 2008-2010.

As Bran said it himself, he failed on that. The fans wanted it... but he chickened out. You can however dream of fantasies....

Me...I only imagine a 2011 fiasco while facing Kobe...

Mass suicide across the globe.

[Gus Hemmingway]

LeJuicy would use kobe as a 1st round outhouse
Indeed :lol

Would have been the D.Rose before D.Rose existed

Begging to be traded to Chicago, only to get backyard pitted by Lebron every post season :oldlol:

[PickernRoller]

Retards can dream too so you all can dream....

However we know for a fact that in Bran's first two Final appearances, he, 1st, got swept, with a horrible performance getting locked down by Bowen, and in 2011 choked like no other superstar in history while getting torched by Terry and guarded by J.J Barea (with a superstacked team).

That was the same window of Kobe's prime.

We can only correlate those performances in those time periods. In essence, Bran never stood a chance, and his tards better be glad they never met. Hec, if we use 3-6 as a barometer, the likehood of him to losing to Kobe is still extremely high.

[Vino24]

thoughts on 2016?

[PickernRoller]

In 2016 Kobe was 37 years old. I don't think he would be contending... unless extremely lucky like Duncan.

[NBASTATMAN]

KOBE WAS GARBAGE AGAINST THE EAST.. so zero :roll:

[PickernRoller]

5 rings vs. the East? Not sure I copy that?
