Here's how Bran won his MVP awards...

[24-Inch_Chrome]

You're right, Kobe > Jordan.

[TripleA]

I have him in the Barkley and Dominique tier.

Barkley is much better than Wilkins.
But the tier from Barkley to top 10 is small. So

[stalkerforlife]

dominique would have won more titles and awards if he colluded and played in a weak era or conference.

Agreed.

Imagine him teaming up with Bird or Magic...

That's exactly what Bran did when he left his own team to join 2 other top 5 guys in PER and the 3rd best player in the league, Wade.

Play in the weak east.

Stack up meaningless wins against teams like the current Sixers 4 times a season.

Be the best player on a team with zero chance to win a title, but has a lot of regular season wins.

At least Nash did it in the west.

All Bran has are meaningless MVP awards to save his legacy.

to be fair though those suns teams underachieved. never once made it to the finals. hell only made it to the conference finals twice I think???? Kinda like those mavs teams....all those 60 win seasons and getting bounced in the first round or second.

Couple things here I'd like to address (and I have no idea why):

First, when it comes to winning his MVPs, the him being in the east argument has already been debunked. In 09 his team went 26-4 against the west...and he had better numbers.

In the games he played in 2010 against the west, the Cavs were 23-6...and his numbers were better than against the east.

The Heat went 11-7 against the west in 2012, but Brons numbers were better across the board..again. This time pretty significantly.

In 2013, the Heat went 25-5 against the west. And you guessed it..Brons numbers were better pretty much across the board.

So which is it, the best player on the best team? The most dominant individual player?

Bron has won two as both.

Or is just "please god anyone but Lebron"?

And I'm so glad you said the Cavs didn't have a shot at a title his first time around. Don't want to hear any more choke calls as it pertains to the series against Orlando and Boston.

Do us all favor and get string up the noose already you maggot.

You're somehow even more pathetic than OP is.

Do us all a favor: PM Jeff, ask him to deactivate your account, and quit posting here altogether. Your obsession with the OP and anything LeBron related has broached unhealthy levels.

He stalks me.

I feel sorry for the dude.

But I try to help him and others by coming forth with all my insecurities and downfalls; trying to teach them we don't have to take our pain out on others.

[Dro]

besides.. since when is gasol a "what did you do without him" player anyway

hes not even a top 50 player all time


hes a bottom 5 all time sidekick for a championship team

Gasol is currently putting up numbers at his age that have only been produced by Wilt. I swear, where do you dudes get your "facts" from?

[Kblaze8855]

He won MVP and the title in back to back seasons. Stop making BS topics.

[Bankaii]

Lebron has better stats against the West than he does the East.

Kobe has worse stats against the East than he does the West.

Lebron's scoring in the regular season, playoffs, and finals >> Kobe's.

How does conference play a role again?

[stalkerforlife]

He won MVP and the title in back to back seasons. Stop making BS topics.

On a team that colluded with superstars in their prime in the weakest conference in NBA history.

Who cares?!?

This. OP has wishful thinking instead of real topics.
