2013 Kobe with injured Dwight, injured Gasol, injured old Nash … 45 wins

[WhiteKyrie]

LeBron with injured AD, Westbrook, old Melo … 31 wins

Thoughts?

[Hey Yo]

Dwight played like 80gms and led the league in rebounding.

Factoring in expectation, its the worst season in franchise history. Kobe dragged that '13 team to the postseason - and if his achilles held up, Kobe likely has a deep playoff run.

Just an impressive season from KB. Started the year out as a 30 ppg scorer in the first 36 games and then transitioned to playing more of a PG role and averaged 29/6/7 post-ASB. He had to do everything offensively to keep that team afloat, those clutch performances in March/April were some of the best games of his career and he goes for 47/8/5 3 stls 4 blks and plays the entire Portland game from start to finish before getting injured in the last one, he was playing 45+ minutes every other night down the stretch.

OP shoulda said "healthy Westbrook that never missed the playoffs and just averaged a triple double for 4 years and is suddenly trash with lebron

Dwight played like 80gms and led the league in rebounding.
And was a shell of himself due to back injury. And was also a malcontent when playing with Kobe because he was entitled.

23 ppg 10 rpg on 54%

>>>

17 ppg 12 rpg on 58%

And that’s an injured Anthony Davis. Dwight never came close to the level and quality of player that Anthony Davis is … so what’s your point?

Oh I agree and I don’t even like him. Scapegoat. Kobe didn’t have a player that caliber next to him.

Maybe you forgot, but the refs won them about 2/3 games.

It was the most insane thing I ever saw for such a prolonged period.

Delusional excuse making. Keep that same energy with the 2012 and 2016 Finals.

SamuraiSwish already got hard at the sight of seing Kobe here.


dopamine entered his tiny brain and he immediately dismissed all refereeing claims.

Translation: 34 year old Kobe with a 26 year old Dwight that played 75+ games, was All-NBA and an All-Star starter won 45 games, and he also had Gasol, Nash Artest

Vs

37 Year old LeBron who probably played double the career minutes as Kobe, with 0 all stars, and AD missing basically the entire season

Dwight played in 76 games in 2013, AD will barely crack 40 this year. You're comparing two players and literally trying to argue that the one who missed half the season was the better and more valuable player :lol Then you doubled down on that idiotic take by claiming this years version of Westbrook was a better player than Dwight, who even in decline was still All-NBA that season.

[WhiteKyrie]

2013 Dwight
17 ppg, 12 rpg, 1 apg

2022 Westbrick
17 ppg, 7 rpg, 7 apg - basically ALL games so far

Old Westbrick is better than back crippled 2013 Dwight.

And when AD has played, even if hobbled and not fully healthy? Also clearly better than 2013 Fright Howard.

:lol

Really great year by Kobe but good god. Don’t make it so easy for the other side.

[Axe]

They were literally a superteam weren't they?

[HylianNightmare]

Cause lebrons not that good

Dwight played like 80gms and led the league in rebounding.

he was a shell of himself after back surgery. hence the career suicide going forward
