Say Lebron James drop 40 points tonight, win the finals MVP and win his second NBA FINALS.
How do you rank him vs Kobe? I wont say Michael Jordan because he is another class of his own.
Kobe couldnt have won his first three rings without Shaq. Shaq Dominated in the 2000 2001 and 2003 finals. When Shaq didnt dominate to the extent that he did the previous finals appearances, in 2004, Kobe couldn't get a ring that year. He needed Shaq for those first three. Kobe cried to get the Spaniard Pao Gasol to the Lakers. Pao didn't put up Shaq Numbers in the 2009 and 2010 finals so i attribute both those finals victories solely to Kobe Bryant.
Now for Lebron James; we all know he couldnt do it Cleveland so he came to the heat alongside DWADE.
Lebron Won the finals MVP and outshined Wade in the Playoffs and Final.
Considering all of this and Lebron wins another finals Mvp tying Kobe with 2 and sealing the deal for his second ring. I dont think you guys are able to make a good case that Kobe> Lebron anymore.
