Are Kobe stans too dumb to see that the Lockout happened in 2011-2012 and a new CBA was formed and that the Lakers have more money to spend than any other team in the league?

And in doing so eradicated any possibility of him winning more titles in the future.

In a word: yes.

[ralph_i_el]

different CBA damn you're dumb. They literally changed the rules so it's hard to do that.

The Owners want to give the players less money. The players association represents ALL the players. The PA has an interest in capping the salaries that the top 15 guys can earn so the other 450+ guys get paid more. The last few CBA's saw the owners taking more money and the players selling out stars and rookies.

The Lakers paid double the cap.

Lolz, even if it was a different CBA, Kobe's 2nd best guy was the worse than Bron's 3rd best. Kobe's too boss ni ggas!

If Lebron was Kobe I'm sure he could just use Bosh as his second best player and win, but this guy needs a damn all star team.

Bron stans stay loosing

Phil Jackson > Spoelstra.

I know you're hating, but the Heat made the Finals 4 straight years with awful bigs. Kobe was lucky to have bigs that could put back his bricks.

The salary cap in 2010 was $57.7 million. The Lakers paid $91.4 million.


It's easy to get the max when you play on a team that doesn't care about go WAY over the cap
