Watching LeBron struggle to make the playoffs with this team reminds me of Kobe

in the mid-2000's....in the prime of his career....Fail....Prime of career.....Fail.....Prime.....Fail

Wait did you see 34 year old Kobe drag a much worse squad in a much harder conference to the playoffs and give it his all and not be passive and cry behind the scenes?

Same age, same conference.... Kobe willed them to the playoffs with dead weight in Nash and Dwigt and Gasol for a huge chunk of the season.

Kobe with Dwight, Nash, Pau and Artest couldn't even bank more W's wins than 21yo Harden and JLin


Lebron had this scrub squad with no chemistry in his first bout tied for 2nd seed healthy

They're about to be 10th seed..... with a much better squad than what Kobe had. Facts are right there bro. No one believes your dumbass because your saying big names. Artest was done. Nash played 30 games. Dwight had back surgery. Gasol had foot issues and missed 30 games too. LOL imagine having to lie so much to prop up LeBron. Thats when you know you lost.

People really gotta stop acting like 26 year old Dwight wasnt a good basketball player. He was taking 10 shots a game on a team run by a coach who doesnt want bigmen showing down the game. Go watch clips of Laker dwight. He wasnt some cripple. He wasnt peak Orlando Dwight but Laker Dwight...if hes that his whole career? Hed still be a 8-10 time all star and likely contend for the hall of fame. 17/12 leading the NBA in rebounds playing in an offense where your style isnt wanted...play 76 games. Thats a solid all star season.

Hes going out there having 14 points, 26 rebounds, and 4 blocks in games he takes the 7th most shots on the team. He had 33/14/5 the second game of the season so its not like he came in and needed 3 months to work himself into shape.

He was a good player on a team not looking to give a bigman the ball to do very much around the basket.

Lakers Dwight wasn't bad, he was putrid. An offensive stiff blackhole which destroyed the flow and never learned the inside out pass. Defensively ive never seen anything more overrated.. besides the flashy blocks (swat to the stands) dude was horrible.

It doesn't surprise me one bit his career went to hell after what I saw here

his intangibles were awful... melo like. except worse because prime melo wasnt an offensive liability. 2013 dwight still had the defense, but his quickness with the back tightness was gone for offense... with orlando he was slipping by guys for dunks everytime almost unstoppable, in LA he was fumbling and bumbling.

And those bad intangibles followed him to houston and beyond. everybody gets rid of him despite the numbers what does that tell you?
