    It would be very fun to watch......... but since he doesnt use his teammates, which means initially ignoring higher success/percentage shots, ignoring to make the RIGHT PLAY... and since this is a team game, i doubt his team would be more successful....
    He only won 5 rings by playing that way though.

    47% shooting as his absolute best ceiling, instead of being one of his worst.

    Kobe chases scoring records in the regular season.. but tones it down in the playoffs because he knows the whole team has to be in sync to win there. Much like Bron conserves FG in regular season but has to actually take tough shots in the playoffs.

    In 05-06 kobe took the 27 FGAs in the regular season but only took 20 a game in the playoffs.

    He would probably slash more because he can. Also he would be better in the post because he would be bigger and stronger and could do more damage than he does now.

    Teams like the Spurs could not leave him open and wish for him to miss because Kobron would be unstoppable from outside. Also he wouldn't quit on his team in 2011 and would probably destroyed Shawn.

    Coach K, during the Team USA scrimmages, said that Lebron is the smartest player that he has ever coached, and he is the guy that has coached Grant Hill. He even refused to use the term "smart", he used "brilliant". There is a reason why teams that have Lebron as a primary option always play to their strengths and even make their scrubs look great. Because of Lebron, people say the current Miami Heat that starts Chalmers and Battier, quite possibly 2 worst startere in their respective positions, are stacked. Lebron's body with Kobe's brains will score more but with less efficiency and his overall impact on both ends will significantly decrease and become worse as a player.

    And Shaq won 4, Gasol won 2 and Horry won 7. What's your point? He contributed in his 'chucking' 'ballhog' ways and they still won. So I don't think he's a bad player at all.

    In the regular season. There's only a 2% difference between Kobe and Lebron in the playoffs

    That's Lebron's career FG% in the playoffs

    He can't have the same team, he would probably need either a great playmaker (Kidd or Nash) or a great center (Shaq, Gasol). That much is obvious. Basketball is nor played alone.

    Lebron needs great perimeter players to be considered good.

    Every player have their strength and their weaknesses.

    Who has ever said that Kobe Bryant is a bad basketball player?
