yes...teams with 27, 25 and 28 year old superstars in the prime of their career who are 3 of the best 10 players in their sports usually play .500 ball huh?

You swear if you swapped Kobe & LeBron last season, he wouldn't of lead that stacked ass squad to a ring too.
I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron beat the Celtics in five lol.
Part of me hopes that the Lakers play the Cavs, who will be like 0-32 when you guys play them & Phil Jackson looks at Kobe and gives him the night off; so basically you got the match-up Cavs vs. Lakers; no Kobe, no LeBron. The Lakers would win by over 20 points, on an off night, no questions asked lol.
It's mind-blowing how some think the Cavs & Lakers are so close in terms of talent; maybe it was just LeBron's sheer awesome that made the Cavs look so comparable lol.

It's almost silly for me to bring up points when you BLINDLY ignore them.
Let me bold it for you..
Kobe was ready to leave LA, until the front office came through with the robbery of Pau Gasol. He was packing his bags to go to Chicago because LA didn't supply him with enough. It doesn't matter who was in Chicago, because Kobe was leaving for something else, because LA wasn't cutting it for him. Not saying he would of won in Chicago, but he saw a better chance to win there. LeBron is doing that now, he sees a way to win in Miami. & most importantly, Kobe can't do it without help either, it's been proven.
Did the size enlargement help?

oh god. Okay, reality, Mike never won without Scottie, Magic never without Worthy or Kareem, Shaq without D Wade or Kobe, Duncan without Parker or Robinson, Bird without McHale or Parish, Russell without all those Hall of Fame teammates, and Kobe would never win without help. Why is that a bad thing. If management doesn't get Gasol, Kobe bolts to LA. So what? Get this, the Laker franchise has been down and rebuilt before, and they'll do it again. Kobe goes to Chicago, right now Chicago would have 2 more rings, Kobe with Noah and Rose, that would win a title quick. But Kobe is not from LA, Kobe is a hired athlete who's job is it to win titles for the Lakers. LEBRON IS CLEVELAND. HIS AKRON, HE BRINGS IN MONEY INTO A DEPRESSED CITY. There is a difference. As I said, I can careless about LeBron or where he plays, but what he did today to the city of Cleveland is fucked up.

It's not a bad thing, but it's not a bad thing what LeBron is about to do it to; you Laker fans can't be that blind and hypocritcal to the point where every prior champion gets a pass, but with LeBron it's going to be held against him lol.
If LeBron was from New York, the hard streets of Brooklyn & left the Knicks, you wouldn't care, you'd likely laugh because it's New York lol; it's only minorly "sad" because it's a small city compared to New York, Chicago, LA, Miami, etc.

See, but what I'm saying is what Lebron is doing is going to hurt his legacy. Greats win on teams built for them, complete with the Pippen sidekicks. Greats don't move to win titles until the end of their careers, see Gary Payton and anything past 2004, or Shaq and Cleveland, or Boston's Big 3 outside of Pierce. Greats win on their franchise, even Kareem won with the Bucks before moving back to LA. Shaq was an exception, but even he joined a young up and coming team as oppose to an all-star team ready to win now. What LeBron has done is say, I can't do this the way it's always been. Management was willing to make any move possible to appease him. Most of Kobe's trade demands were plays on management, not that he was really going to leave. He knew Jerry Buss would never accept the Lakers without the best basketball player, so he played the game and got Gasol. Lebron had that kind of power, and more in Cleveland. But instead of doing what was neeeded in Cleveland, he joins Wade's team. this looks great on Wade, since he attracted the star.

LOL, it wouldn't come down to a last shot, it would be a blowout.
& like my man Javier once said, "There is no such thing as clutch". He first said it & I was skeptical to the thought, but I realized he's right, it's not "stepping up", it's just doing what you've been doing all game.
