Lebron plays in the EAST ( where the 5th best team has a losing record ) Kobe plays in the WEST ( where 50 win teams miss the playoffs )


and i dont wanna hear about "lebron played a lockout year..." .. Kobe played in 2 of them

[Milbuck]

No good can come of this thread kenneth.

there is no denying how much easier Lebron has had it in terms of competition in the playoffs.

The Cavs stuff doesn't mean much to me as his help was such shit compared to Kobe's, but this Heat run over the last 4 years now has been a ****ing cakewalk.

It's why I think if they don't win it all this year...the 4 years overall will actually be closer to a failure than a success.



This is why context is so ****ing important on this crap. My team is currently playing the best team in the league...as a result of winning 50 games in one of the best and deepest conferences ever. Yet the ****ing Hawks...who can't even break 40 in a joke conference...get a team that isn't even one of the 10 best in the league in round 1.

It's a joke...and they need to fix it. It's stupid having some of the best teams all playing each other early in the playoffs. Just seed it properly...the ****ing East teams already get a big enough advantage as they play their shit conference an extra 22 games per season.

[#number6ix#]

The other teams should' ve. Played better

[Jameerthefear]

Lebron>>>Kobe
Next.

[kennethgriffin]

kobes beat 4 teams in just one year...........2 separate times...

lebrons entire career = 1 year for kobe


when you really look at it... if 4 teams = 2 titles playing in the east..

then kobes 23 teams would translate into 11.5 rings if kobe played in the east his whole life

[Uncle Drew]

He has a point. Imagine if, this year, Atlanta actually upsets the Pacers.... Miami's 2nd unit could go all the way.

Don't ruin the OP.

You, for a change, actually contributed something to ISH.

Don't ruin it...please.

We can have a good discussion potentially here if you don't derail it with some BS about Kobe now having 11.5 rings...

[DMAVS41]

The Mavs and Grizzlies would be the 2nd best teams in the East right now. Shit, the Suns might be better than anyone other than the Heat right now as well.

It's just stupid...and it's been going on for like 15 years. The 02 and 03 East was a joke.

There were 3 teams in those two years that won over 50. Pistons twice and Nets once.

Complete joke.

[Trollsmasher]

Regular season is irrelevant when it comes to evaluating teams.

Regular season is irrelevant when it comes to evaluating teams.

Can be, but never completely.

The sick thing is...those win totals are inflated to begin with by playing an extra 22 games a year in the shitty conference.

It's not just the records. The teams in the East have routinely sucked outside the top 1 or 2 each year for like 15 or so years now.

[kennethgriffin]

so we as an ISH society have now turned into judging players based on 1 highlight of a post achilles injury after missing half a year and tripping

lol i could find a funny clip of literally any person in recorded history.

only difference is that theres 5000 funny gifs/videos of lebron... kobe doesnt come close to the comedic failure of le king flopness sir travel

[Black and White]

Jameer showed up, thread ruined.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Time to end this East West nonsense. Elon Musk needs to get to work on that super rail, because this is disgusting. Phonenix would beat every 7/8 teams in the East :
