I am not trying to "bring him down"
@ Fatal9 : Shaq has only played on one Title winning team with a player better then himself. (06 Wade)
@ Kobe Fans : Please quit being butthurt and simply answer the question.
You can say 10 Rings if it makes you happy.

Not a Kobe fan clearly. In fact it seems like Jacks and Alphawolf claim I'm a Kobe hater every day.
I'm just stating your agenda is so out in the open that I'm literally dying

How do I have an Agenda?
I asked a simple question with reasonable parameters.
I dont force people to vote or answer the question in a way that would please me or this "imaginary agenda" you think I have.

Let's see Kobe brought the worst playoff team to 7 games against the Suns in 2006 so it would be safe to say he would win the championship in 2001 against Philly.

Against Philly? He would be playing for Philly.
I doubt a Kobe/Mutombo led Sixers team would be able to beat any of the teams out West in 01.
You have Prime Duncan + DRob and the Spurs.
You have Prime Shaq at his Peak with Allen Iverson at his Peak.
You have a very deep and talented Sacramento team.

I think 2001 & 2002 Sixers w/ Kobe, Snow, McKie, and Deke are a legit championship team, and I think Kobe w/ what was leftover from C-Webb in 2005 have a shot.
2001 Sixers NBA Champions
2002 Sixers NBA Champions
I'd say.
I'm thinkin' they'd have a chance to go back to back 2001-2002 Vs LA or San Antonio.
Kobe (who was in his athletic prime) & Deke match up better against A.I. & Shaq or Manu & Duncan/ Robinson since he'd have full reign to shoot/ create at will he wouldn't need to appease another player cause Larry Brown woulda gave him the GREEN LANTERN LIGHT.
Larry woulda loved Kobe's work ethic/ etc, match made in heaven.
At least that's how I see it.
Also came into this thread it was gonna be stupid when I read the "scientist/ time machine thing" but it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Good chance they make it to the Finals in 01, 02, 08, 09, and 10. But I highly doubt he wins in 01, 02, and 08. 09 and 10 they might've won though.

Kobe with the best defensive team in the league (i.e., 2001-2002) goes to the Finals..and probably wins there. I could totally see Kobe lighting up the Lakers perimeter players or lack there of. 2001 Shaq was a total beast though. I think that Sixers/Lakers series goes the full 7 if you swapped AI with Kobe.

Really?
I am not sure how much better Kobe was over Iverson in 01 and 02.
I could definitely see Kobe outplaying him but not in the same way Shaq would Dominate Mutombo.
Lakers also had Fox who was a pretty good perimeter defender and a couple of solid clutch roleplayers.
I really cant possibly imagine Kobe beating any of the top teams from the West in the early 00's with those Sixer squads.

Lakers had the best player in the league in Shaq for a good 4-5. Philly had nothing until 2001 with Mutombo and that was for one year.
I think Kobe and Webber in 2005 would win though if Kobe is healthy.

Yep.
I have high regard for 2001 Kobe. Top 3-5 perimeter defender, a much better scorer and playmaker than Iverson too. Kobe 75% of the 2001 postseason was on another tier than Iverson.
I'm of the opinion, Shaq was robbed the 2001 MVP. as well.

Re: ***How Many Rings Would Kobe Win???***
Yeah he was amazing in 2001 however I think the Dominance of Shaq especially on the 0ffensive end really helped him out since teams were forced to pick their poison between the two.
I remember specifically in the Spurs series Kobe torching the hell out of Antonio Daniels and although Duncan and DRob wanted badly to come over most of the time to Double Kobe when he drove into the paint that pretty much meant an automatic bucket for Shaq. That was I think the season where Shaq and Kobe played at their highest level together.
You can see some of this in his APG that season which was the highest of his Career in the playoffs at 6.1 Per Game.
Still I just cant possibly see him beating a team led by Prime Shaq or Prime Duncan especially with the lack of 0ffensive options and talent those early 00 sixer teams had.
They would be an amazing defensive squad thats for sure but 0ffensively they would be quite limited outside of Kobe.

At most 1. Most likely 0.
But considering Kobe is better than Iverson, they have more success overall and probably have a few deeper runs in the playoffs. But those teams just weren't good enough to contending year in year out. They would have a chance in 01....depending on who replaces Kobe on the Lakers.
