The Lakers run was better as they had to fight for it but the Heat are just stacked. So this answers op's question.

Kobe= 1st round loser
Re: 2008-2010 Lakers vs. 2011-2013 Heat
Lebron always tears up Kobe and LA when they meet. LA also was not a ijntense defensive team. They were pretty soft defensively. Intense physical defenses beat Miami. Miami would cut through the LA defense like knife through butter.

Maybe a injury free or non-lockout playoffs would help.
Wow, so defending FMVP Tim Duncan didn't get injured for the 00 playoffs.
So the best player on the defending champions, Garnett, didn't get injured in 09.
So the Rockets who take the Lakers to a game 7 in 09 did have Tmac for the whole series and Yao Ming for the last four games.
So Kendrick Perkins (who has actually useful back then) didn't get injured for game 7 in the NBA finals.
Who knew, guess injuries only happen when LeBron wins it, right?

Lakers never faced the Spurs in 2000.

Lakers never faced the Celtics in 2009.

Yao's injury actually helped the Rockets, speeding up the game.

Had him for 5 game though.
Lebron was able to play one of the worst playoff team in NBA history (Bucks), and then face 2 teams without their best offensive weapons.
Mind you, not the opponents of these amputated teams (like Magic facing the Lakers after beating the Celtics ), because the lack of competition was so severe that these wounded team were able to win their first and second series anyway.
Lebron basically never played a healthy team that was any good.

Curry: 0x Finals MVP
Re: 2008-2010 Lakers vs. 2011-2013 Heat
Hilarious that there are people that still can't get over the fact LeBron is a better player than Kobe ever was. Some of you are in serious denial

Oh right, so it doesn't count. If only the Spurs were bad enough to be 8 seed and played the Lakers in the first round, then it would have counted!
Obviously the Celtics wouldn't have played the Lakers, since they're in the East and had no chance of the finals without their best player.
Yao's injury actually helped the Rockets, speeding up the game.
Yea, losing your 7'6 center is good for you.
No comment on Tmac?
Had him for 5 game though.
GAME 7. The game that the Lakers dominated the boards - Gasol had 18 of them - and the Celtics were forced to start Rasheed at center and give some playing time to Big Baby Davis at C.

Hey guys, just ignore the fact Kobe has done nothing but lose against LeBron. The Lakers got this.

I am not the one with an agenda here. I happily admit that LeBron greatly benefited from injuries* only if you concede that this is the same with Kobe. If you give Kobe a pass, then give both a pass. I am contesting the hypocrisy here, not the players.
*IMO the Bulls would have beaten the Heat last year and this year with a healthy D-Rose, and the Pacers would have beaten the Heat if Granger returned for the playoffs off the bench.
But injuries are a part of sport, and it will all be forgotten in a few years. Doesn't change the fact that LeBron has been incredibly dominant these past two years.
