17th Season Kobe with a 26 year old Peak Dwight Howard: 45 wins

17th Season LeBron with a 34 year old Washed up Dwight: ????

[Overdrive]

If Lebron is a top 3 GOAT he should get 65+ easy. If not he's #11.

So where does Kobe rank for getting 45 wins with a much better Dwight?

17th Season Kobe with a 26 year old Peak Dwight Howard: 45 wins

17th Season LeBron with a 34 year old Washed up Dwight: ????

Lebron has Anthony Davis, Rajon Rondo, Kyle Kuzma, Javale McGee, Danny Green, Avery Bradley...

Kobe's bench was 36 y.o Jamison and a bunch of D-leaguers, no Gasol, Nash or Blake for half the season.

Lebron better win 60+ games or he's out of the top 20.

[red1]

not sure I'm hoping for an injury-free playoffs at least.

[meat]

Probably 50 - 54 wins. What do you think?

[G0ATbe]

Wins dont really matter cus lebron cares about the reg season way less than kobe did. Hence why all of kobes memorable games were reg season games. Getting past the 1st round would be pretty spectacular though.

AD and Kuzma cancel out Gasol, Nash, Artest


So the rest of the teams are equal, the ONLY difference is that LeBron has a 34 year old Dwight and Kobe had a 26 year old Dwight


And Kobe won 45 games...

Gasol and Nash were 50 years old and missed half the season, Artest was garbage

lol at comparing a top 5 player in the league and a young, future all-star to a bunch of washed up garbage.

Anything less than b2b rings is an utter disgrace.

Gasol was 32. Then proceeded 2yrs later to lead the league in double-doubles for Chicago setting the record for a player his age.

try again, chico

[No Sir]

Nash was an all star the year before he joined LA, Gasol was an all star after he left LA. Dwight was an all star after he left LA. They weren't washed up they were just playing alongside a cancerous tumor.

[Doranku]

Nash was an all star the year before he joined LA, Gasol was an all star after he left LA. Dwight was an all star after he left LA. They weren't washed up they were just playing alongside a cancerous tumor.

Shaq was an all-star the year before he joined Cleveland. Then LeBron quit in the playoffs, faked an elbow injury, and fled to Miami. :oldlol:

Shaq missed 30gms in Cleveland.

Kobe straight up quit and then demanded a trade.

LOL @ thinking a line of 27-19 and 10 is quitting.

your melting is hilarious. :oldlol:

No shit.
So your point in posting them were??

How tf do their careers matter to what you said in the OP? You used to troll much better than this. lost your edge, just like your idol.

So did Nash and Gasol in 2013. :oldlol:

LeBron absolutely quit in 2010. Imagine the owner of your team says this about you:


"He quit," Gilbert said. "Not just in Game 5, but in Games 2, 4 and 6. Watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar."

The Cavaliers were beaten by 32 points in Game 5. During the game, James appeared distracted and uninterested, often glaring at Cleveland's coaches as the Cavs tried to foul to get back into the game in the second half. James also made some puzzling postgame comments, saying he had "spoiled" people with his play over seven seasons.

Gilbert also said he believes James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of their series in 2009 against Orlando.

"Go back and look at the tape," he said. "How many shots did he take?"

[Hey Yo]

So did Nash and Gasol in 2013. :oldlol:
Except I didn't say anything about those 2, other than point out that Gasol was only 32, not 50 like you boy ImKobe said.

[superduper]

AD and Kuzma cancel out Gasol, Nash, Artest


So the rest of the teams are equal, the ONLY difference is that LeBron has a 34 year old Dwight and Kobe had a 26 year old Dwight

The hoops you jump through in your mind to satisfy your deluded reality is hilarious :oldlol:

Salty people say salty things. If he really thought that, then he would never signed him back to play in Cleveland.

27-19-10 in a must win is quitting :roll:

you're so gullible McFly.

[Spurs m8]

I miss these stupid threads from Bus....

Said no one ever

[ImKobe]

Except I didn't say anything about those 2, other than point out that Gasol was only 32, not 50 like you boy ImKobe said.

Gasol was garbage and hurt for most of the season, he got healthier towards the end of the season but that team wins 50+ games if Kobe has a healthy Gasol. We were starting Earl Clark, Chris Duhon and Darius Morris. Anyone want to tell me where these guys were after that season? That was 17th season Kobe playing with a roster with less depth than the mid-2000s Lakers.

[hiphopanonymous]

Didn't Dwight have a Larry Bird status back in his first Lakers stint? Didn't Dwight say he's fully healed and in the best shape of his life in this stint?

I think so. 34 isn't an ideal age, but 34 and best shape of life beats out any age with a wrecked back.

[G0ATbe]

Nash was an all star the year before he joined LA, Gasol was an all star after he left LA. Dwight was an all star after he left LA. They weren't washed up they were just playing alongside a cancerous tumor.

LeBron started out 2-1 with Dwight

Kobe was 0-3

this. :biggums:

[Gileraracer]

Better question: Will Lebron be able to reach the playoffs with all that help or does he still need more help?

[Doranku]

LeBron started out 2-1 with Dwight

Kobe was 0-3

Why are you comparing a 2nd option and a 1st option? It's either:

LeBron started out 2-1 with Dwight
Gasol was 0-3

or

AD started out 2-1 with Dwight
Kobe was 0-3

Nash was.2 years removed from leading the league in assists and Pau was 3 years removed from carrying Kobe to the 2010 title.

[Jasper]

I actually think Howard should start as well as Crouse w/AD/Bron and green.

[Rico2016]

17th Season Kobe with a 26 year old Peak Dwight Howard: 45 wins

Wow this is eye opening. Peak Dwight and only 45 wins. Did Kobe also have Pau Gasol and Ron Artest?

So we're just ignoring LeBron having another top 5 player on his team in this weird scenario?

I ignored Kobe having Gasol, Nash, and Artest

[AirTupac]

I ignored Kobe having Gasol, Nash, and Artest


Gasol missed 35 games
Nash was out most of the season
Artest had a major knee injury that he came back from in 4 weeks to try and help the team out.


Kobe had a starting line up consisting of Earl Clark and Darius Morris. Not Artest, Nash and Gasol :oldlol:

[FKAri]

At least 4 wins. That would put him level with Kobe. Each win after that creates a 1 player gap between the two on the all-time list.

[ZMonkey11]

Dwight's mindset is also totally different.

Dude wanted to be the #1 in LA WITH Kobe on the team.

Now, he knows he is only a cog in the system.

It's comparing two totally different players.

[Bronbron23]

I ignored Kobe having Gasol, Nash, and Artest
Are u joking dude. Nash 38, hurt and barely there and Metta was a shell of himself and almost 10 years away from his all star form. There's not a coach or gm in the world that would take those three players at that point in there careers over a prime Anthony Davis.

[AirBonner]

Tired of this narrative. Artest scores 13ppg/5reb/2ast and shot 34% from 3 as well as brought good defense. He is EVERYTHING you want in a role player :no:

[AirTupac]

Artest had tore his knee and averaged 8.5/3/2 on 39% FG and 29% from 3 that season and was a shell of himself on the defensive end.

Nice try retard :(

[ImKobe]

Tired of this narrative. Artest scores 13ppg/5reb/2ast and shot 34% from 3 as well as brought good defense. He is EVERYTHING you want in a role player :no:

He averaged 12 points on 40% shooting and tore his meniscus :roll: role players don't play 33 minutes a night :facepalm

I didn't say he was useless. He just wasn't close to his all star form.

[Bigsmoke]

Dwight isn't relevant

he's a rotational player at this stage of his career and LeBron is getting old too.

Rotational/role players are incredibly relevant and impactful...

Lebron joining forces with a guy in Dwight Howard who beat him in his prime in a MVP year while having HCA. Go Figure.

Definitely more than Kobe
