Compare Kobe's 2005 supporting cast to Lebron's 2007:



1 Kobe Bryant
2 Caron Butler
3 Lamar Odom
4 Chucky Atkins
5 Chris Mihm
6 Jumaine Jones
7 Devean George
8 Brian Cook
9 Tierre Brown



Kobe has D-league players starting at #4, whereas Lebron's #10 guy (Gibson) is still going strong:


1 LeBron James
2 Larry Hughes
3 Drew Gooden
4 Zydrunas Ilgauskas
5 Anderson Varejao
6 Eric Snow
7 Sasha Pavlovic
8 Donyell Marshall
9 Damon Jones
10 Daniel Gibson


Lebron has NEVER had a weak supporting cast.. That's just one of the misconceptions spewed by the media as a storyline.. But Lebron's own stats have never merited the supporting of a truly "weak" supporting cast.

Kobe never played in the east

[Magic 32]

Lebron makes bad players better and great players worse.

Kobe makes bad players worse and great players better.

The former gets you lots of regular season MVP's and the latter gets you lots of rings.

Damn bad week for Bron stans despite making it to the ECF, first the 7/23 game, loss of efficiency argument and now the "weak supporting cast" argument been put to rest

3Ball the MVP

EDIT: now I don't even know if bolded is a positive thing for stans, onward to 2/6

[Showtime2001]

Bran stans are nothing but hypocrites they say LeBron has a weak supporting cast and takes them to the finals (in the East) then call Kobe a choker because he can't take an even worse supporting cast out of the first round in the West.

Lebaldo stanbase exposed yet again
