Guy has a solid 4-6 years left of still dominance, still getting to Finals, still chances to win them.But at this level, he only has one, maybe two years. And he ain't winning two titles, the west is too good.

The circumstances are 75 times more important than the percentages you just keep going on about. That's why the circle keeps on going here lol.He played with Love & Kyrie all year & averaged 18 shots a game...you think he just doubled that because he felt like it lmao.No, you'll say he "couldn't get his teammates involved", followed by an invalid, biased assessment of every player from the four listed who couldn't score without Bron on the floor, all the way to Joe Harris being top of the line role players every team in the league would die for.I said it five times during the series that 1. This would be the worst roster to ever win a ring & 2. If this was Kobe's cast & you watched him easily miss the playoffs or if he was forced to play with that in a series & inevitably got swept, you'd come up with every excuse I've ever seen you post, times 50 to defend that. You ignored that five times...probably mostly because there was still a chance LeBron won & that would have just torn you to piece. But then when he lost, you were like "Holy shit...he lost...I need something to rip him apart...okay, well Game 1, not hitting a 20 foot fadeaway...we have that, we'll always have that...hm, what else?" & after countless hours of flipping through stats & records shattered & everything else, you ignored the 100 incredible things he did & just focused on the only blemish, missing more shots than usual because he had to take so many. But when Kobe shoot "below 40%" in his 35 games this year, you just chalk that up as "Kobe's all alone...you gotta love his heart & drive to win, to take stupider shots than usual to try to will the Lakers to a regular season win...he lives for it, man. Lives for it".It's funny you're so big on percentages though...like that's life or death...because the last few seasons, that include two rings, his efficiency was absolutely off the charts incredible. Last year, despite a loss in the Finals, he shot 56% from the field, 40% from three throughout the playoffs...better numbers than Kobe in his playoff career ever. Not to mention just in general the two seasons prior he won two rings, shooting 50% in the playoffs. Actually in the playoffs from '11-'14 his PERs (just to remind you...the actual mathematical equation of judging a players efficiency, not just your biased, eye-test assessment) of 30.3, 28.1 & 31.1 are all higher than Kobe's in his entire playoff (& regular) career. So now since efficiency means everything & then some because it's the last straw for you to grasp at...are you sure it really does before you lock it in as the "tell all" stat to turn to?Just as an additional side note, LeBron this year in the playoffs had a higher PER than every single season of Kobe's career too, besides the year he was handed the Orlando Magic on a platter in the NBA Finals.
Son just Usain Bolted from 95% of that. Fair enough. I wouldn't want to go to war in efficiency with a guy like Kobe anyway. Smart to just be like "In the non-important, uncaring, lack of enthusiasm, NBA regular season Kobe scored 44....I just won't include he lost by 21 points" lmfao.But you just keep acting like if LeBron threw up the numbers he did, shot 42% & lost by 21 points, you'd be like "oh, that's flawless. LeBron is playing out of his mind". ACTUALLY, you said something negative about 40-14-11 in Game 5 because he lost...but Kobe scored 44 on AN EQUAL PERCENTAGE...ON EQUAL SHOTS... & his teammates produced more offense than LeBron's did...but you don't look like an absolute moron lmfao.
lol @ acting like true shooting percentage is more important than PER. That displays autistic basketball savvy.Also last year LeBron's playoff TS% was 10% higher than Kobe's best year...that's absurd.But again, it all just comes back around to you not understanding if he had someone with some basketball skill to turn to, he wouldn't have taken 30 shots a game. But no, you just bring up how Thompson is a "quality big" & just completely ignore that he's pretty useless offensively. With or without LeBron.
LMAO. You clearly didn't watch the Knicks if you think JR Smith is a good basketball player.Knick fans liked Iman Shumpert too, but if it meant trading JR Smith, they may of given up Melo.
lolol, he was not unmotivated in the NBA Finals after Kyrie & Love went down & he was turned & looked at as the #2 option on the team & was NEEDED to carry some part of the load if the Cavaliers were going to stand any chance.He just cannot perform at that level.
