Do you think Kobe could've won a championship

[I<3NBA]

in Cleveland?

he is clearly better than Lebron James in the "willpower" department. so i'm assuming he could've just "willed" that team to a championship.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Original thread idea.

[The Playmaker]

there isn't a single player in nba history that could have won with cleveland.

Here we go again.

i think MJ could have won with that team. the original is better than the copy.

kobe won a title with top 90-100 all time ranked pau gasoft as his 2nd best player in 2009

and no other player on the team had ever made an allstar team

prime kobe was alpha as f*CK

so to answer op... yes

[retaxis]

Kobe is a great player but comparing Lebrons 06 team to the best NBA front line that Kobe won with in Gasol-Odom-Bynum is not really comparable. Kobe can win but not without a hell of a lot of BIG MAN help.

[Boomerang]

Current Lebron would take old Cavs team to championship.

And what 90-100 all time player did the Cavs have? Their second best scorer was Larry Hughes.

Kobe had

Pau > Gooden
Bynum > Ilgauskas
Odom > Pavlovic

Lakers without Kobe were way higher than Cavs without LeBron.

He wouldn't get them out of the first round. Lebron is just a better player than Kobe.

[retaxis]

Ken you know as well as I do Gasol - Odom (sixth man of the year) - Bynum (defence big body) was the best frontline in the NBA those years not to take anything from Kobe.

[KOBE143]

Kobe won b2b with Gasoft, Odumb, No knees Bynum and Fisher the worst starting pg of all time as his best teammates, so YES..

My InsideHoops brothers & sisters:

This is a wonderful discussion! Now here in Mozambique, we did not receive the NBA broadcasts during the time you refer to, but I can only assume this Cleveland team was horrible, yes? So the question is, can the great Kobe Bryant take a horrible team to the championship trophy?

I am no expert on the basketball, but, from the many hours I have watched Kobe Bryant, I would say yes, emphatically! I believe, so long as there are players that are willing to give Kobe the ball, the ball will find its way to the cylinder, awarding the points necessary to be victorious.

For example, let us look at this season. Again, it is difficult for me to follow the broadcasts due to the inclement weather and the lions, but from my understanding, Kobe has quite horrible teammates this year. And yet it seems his team is again the favorites to win the championship title! This is quite remarkable!

So, yes, yes, one thousand times yes!

Warmest regards,
