Even though Kobe was 3 years younger with less wear/tear and missed the playoffs with a Prime Dwight Howard, Gasol, Artest, Nash? :confusedshrug:

No, against all odds Kobe carried a team of Dwight/Nash/Gaso/Artest to the brink of the playoffs.

Lebron accomplished more with a diminished Dwight Howard than Kobe did with the MVP caliber version

Why people say that the 2013 Lakers missed the playoffs? They entered w/o Kobe, and were swept by SAS.

It would have been interesting to watch those playoffs with Kobe and the rest of the team clicking.

Because they were out of the playoffs when Kobe went down. And went 2-1 without him to make it.

In what way was 2013 Howard an MVP caliber version? He was coming off of back surgery and wasn't anywhere close to the force on defense he once was.

It was so painful to watch Howard working in the post. It was almost a sure turnover.

Where did I say those players were in their prime dummy? :oldlol:


They're still better than washed up Westbrick and Melo though

Probably not. He'll be slightly more efficient and have more rebs and assists but less points. Lakers will make playoffs but they'll lose in the 2nd round

Yes.

But I would take Prime Dwight or Pippen over AD right now. Dude is too soft.

He did indicate that he did never play in the postseason for that year.
