He wasn't head and shoulders above the rest because Kobe was a fucking monster and winning titles. Kobe was that much better than LeBron. Now LeBron is in his prime. He's better at 28 than he was at 23. Kobe is declined. Kobe is not better at 34 than he was at 29. Right now we are at that point were LeBron is better than everyone else. Durant is close, but as Westbrook's injury is exposing, Durant is not ready for prime time. LeBron has had Wade injured through some of this year and he still dominates. Kobe has had Howard and he can't make him better. So with all of that, you are proving my point. It's LeBron time now.

and on the contrary, miami plays great even without lebron LOL....meaning, he needs them just as much as they need him.
cant say the same for melo, kobe, or durant.
as for dwight, dont even bring him up...dwight sucked all on his own, had absolutely nothing to do with anyone but himself. he even sucked worse in the playoffs without kobe LOL. so quit soundin like one of these laker-hating lebron groupies, cuz u doin a pretty good job at it right now.

Let's put it this way, if Kobe was as great as you are trying to make him out to be, the Lakers would be a 3rd or 4th seed. But instead they are a 7th or 8th seed, just barely getting to the playoffs. Face it Scittles, LeBron is the King right now. For the past 2 years, no one is touching him, and it'll be that way for another 3-4 years. The Heat might not win that many titles in a row, but clearly LeBron is the best player until Durant steps up.
Also, what the Heat did was smart, they built a team to best fit LeBron. The Lakers did that with Kobe in 2008 as they got a good passing center in Gasol to work inside/out to get Kobe someone to play with. On top of that they had tough as nails Derek Fisher as the PG and Odom as the garbage man PF and well I'm not sure what Radmanović was for but he did get some rebounds. When the Lakers really shined though was moving Gasol to PF, having Bynum in there to bang with centers like Perkins and Howard, getting either Artest or Ariza to be a shut down defender for players like LeBron or Pierce and building a team in which Kobe can score 30ppg and the Lakers can win. The key was rebounding as Kobe will sometimes take a crazy shot, but you have 2 7 footers and a defensive minded SF to grab the loose balls. Those teams were built for Kobe to win and when Kobe was out in 2010 the Lakers had a winning record. Remember this article...

Point is, those teams were built for Kobe to shine and the Lakers to win. It's that simple. The Heat built a team to maximize LeBron's skills and LeBron won. Basically the point is, that's what a player needs to win. But of course it's still up to the player to win. After all just because you build the perfect team doesn't mean you'll win. See 2004 Lakers, 2004 Timberwolves, 2013 Lakers. At the end of the day, it's up to the players to win, and LeBron is winning right now, he is the most dominate player on the planet right now, and there is nothing that can change that.

we're 28-11 after kobe guaranteed playoffs and started beasting out his mind...what the hell are u yappin about? again, soundin like an anti-laker lebron groupie...get a hold of yaself, doggy. theres no way we coulda been a 3rd seed with the way dwight and pau started the season and with all the injuries sustained...how many games did the full roster even play again? LOL, thats right...u playin for the wrong team fool, man up. lebron in kobes shoes woulda requested a trade by all-star break. are you really a laker fan? radmanovic didnt even play for any of the championship teams mayn, wtf are u sayin? even hack had to correct u on kobe missin the playoffs with smush and kwame...that never happened either! lol, ur all over the place, my boy. and this heat team is built MUCH stronger than the laker team that won with gasol as the 2nd fiddle LOL, why even compare it? even if u dont consider bosh a franchise player, wade most definitely is. thats 2 franchise players vs 1...lebron might as well play for an all-star team. step it up, mdoggydogg.
Hack Wilson - real:

what kobe did to single-handedly get the battered, heartless lakers to the playoffs this season was historic....for u to downplay that really doesnt do much for ur credibility, cuzz
Hack Wilson - real:
and since when did claiming Melo is close to Lebron start helping your credibility?
face it, Kobe was surrounded by all stars this year and his team sucked ass. I still have this years Sports Illustrated NBA edition and on the cover it has Howard and Nash with the caption "this should be easy"
OOPS! :D
meanwhile Bosh and Wade combined are only averaging 2 more points than Lebron himself this playoffs.
Hack Wilson - real:
too bad there's no NBA tonight
