and no pau is not a super star, nor is odom, nor is bynum (well not yet atleast, but i doubt he will be if he isnt right now)

If Kobe....
gets stomped on by the Heat, has Jordan ever got his ass kicked in the Finals? Let alone 3 times?
And lol@calling Bosh a "legit superstar", while saying Pau is not a superstar :-X

because pau was never considered one of the best bigmen/PF in the league before he joined the lakers, he had allstar and was one, but same goes for al horford, al jefferson (even though he was never elected as an allstar he certainly has the skills and talent), kenyon martin, etc etc

Bosh is not a legit superstar. I know some of the Heat haters want to bring him up like he is one, because it adds more fuel to the fire. But no, he is not. Bosh is essentially an equivalent to a Pau Gasol. He has the talent of a superstar, but doesn't have the mentality of one. In a close game situation, Bosh was never the player to step up and make an impact himself, not even on the Raptors. He would take the backseat to other scrubs.
The Heat trio is 2 completely dominant future Hall of Famers (both top 5 in the league)... and 1 All-Star who really doesn't belong in the same sentence as them. Which, to be frank, is probably even better than having 3 superstars. The last time we had two Top 5 players in the league on the same team was with Kobe & Shaq, and as we all know, they did end up winning. A lot, actually.
And no, Jordan had never faced a team that had two players as dominant as Wade and LeBron, and I certainly don't give a fuck whether or not he did. I want Lakers to win so the team gets another banner, Kobe's head-to-head comparisons with Jordan mean jack shit to me.

Kobe's never gonna have a shot at passing Jordan in the eyes of most, Jordan's era was way too glorified.

LOL, Pau is considered one of the best bigmen in the league.
That's such a stupid argument because every normal, non-Laker groupie fan KNOWS that Lakers TEAM won the last two titles, not just Kobe..with a "little" help.
If that "little help" wasn't the DECIDING FACTOR in Game 7, when Kobe disappeared into his little shell, or as NIK says, "decided to get rebounds opposed to scoring", you wouldn't have won the title this year.
It's also stupid because you Laker fans are about to give the Heat that pussy New York Yankees treatment, where if you beat them you "they suck, well at least LeBron does" & when they sweep your ass in four it's, "not fair, LeBron needs Wade & Bosh & Miller & Haslem & Z". Most of you might as well save your credibility now & state right now how you're going to react when he beats you so you don't even have the option to play that bullshit card.
& most importantly, please just understand the fact that the Lakers are stacked from Kobe, all the way down to the bench; ESPECIALLY IF YOU THINK THEY CAN BEAT MIAMI'S BIG THREE.

Bosh is wayyy more athletic than pau gasol.. He's faster, quicker, and can handle the ball better.. he's also got a J
lemme say this Pau never got out of the 1st round his damn self like C bosh when he was playing for his old B BALL Club. Pau started to shine cuz he was playing along side kobe.. give C Bosh the opportunity to show what he's got playing alongside D wade and Lebron :)

Bosh is definitely no more of a star then Pau. You could argue that Pau is better actually. Bosh just seems like more of a star at the moment cus of this free agency circus.
If the Lakers beat this team, yes it would be a huge accomplishment. Jordan beat teams like Utah with Stockton (one of the best PG's of all time) and Malone (second best PF of all time). With Jordan, it wasnt always JUST the team that he beat in the finals, it was the dominance over all the greats during his time. Think about all the stars/HOFers who couldnt win titles cus of Jordan...Ewing, Barkley, Malone, Stockton. Hakeem only won when Jordan left. Robinson won when Jordan left. Jordan beat Magic. Kobe struggles to compete because he has lost twice in the finals. Other greats have won titles during his prime (Duncan, Shaq w/Heat, Wade, Garnett, etc).

When it came to the crunch last year in the regular season when Raptors had the Bulls breathing down their neck for the 8th seed, Bosh was an embarrasment. He choked every single game.
I wouldn't even put Bosh on a level with Gasol tbh. He's got great talent, but he's a bottler.
