I'm saying that Horry played with Hakeem during his MVP years and Shaq during his MVP year. He did not play with Duncan during his MVP years.

No, my post is NOT about whether Kobe is better than Lebron or whether Hakeem is better than Shaq or Duncan. It's about the opinion of Bowen and Horry being based on WHEN each played against/with each player.

Let's Talks Numbers
Re: Bruce Bowen: "Kobe is number 2 behind Jordan, not Lebron."
Someone already mentioned it, but comparing Lebron and Kobe's number in a vacuum is stupid af for a multitude of reasons. But if you watch basketball, you'll know that the Triangle offense doesn't help you rack up a shitload of assists because everyone eats in the system.
Not to mention that Kobe NEVER played the small ball, 5-out offense either.
This makes his numbers even more impressive considering the circumstances.

Theres no excusing the 2011 Finals loss. All jokes there. It's fine for me. His "numbers" helped him to be up 2-1 in the 2015 Finals before LeBron's supporting cast didnt show up. In 2014 there's some fair criticism to be made there because there are some compelling arguments.

LeBron's supporting outside of Kyrie and LeBron in the 2015 Finals
His supporting cast shot 108/293 (37%) in the 2015 Finals. That's terrible numbers!

Kobe shot far worse despite being on a much better team

LeBron's supporting cast in the 2014 Finals
His entire supporting cast shot 114/258 (44%, ironically similar to Kobe's career FG% which is 45%). The whole team outside of LeBron shot fine but it's not good either. For one, his shooters were having bad nights all day long in the Finals.

Yeah but why would that be what they said? Horry played for the Lakers against a peak Tim Duncan, and he lost. So he got to see.
PLUS, he left the Lakers following that run and went to the Spurs. Tim Duncan was still at his peak then, even if his individual season and run weren't as singular as the year prior.
Horry played with and against peak Tim Duncan.

And Curry played in this era too. So if you are going to criticize LeBron, then at LEAST apply yours to every player playing right now. Yes, that includes Stephen Curry. Also Kobe played majority of his career playing after the hand check rule so yeah...
If you don't apply your standards to every player then you are being inconsistent.
