    Default How many rings would Kobe have if he was a ring chaser and picked his teammates?

    Keep in mind that he has 5 rings just working off of whoever the front office gave him, now try to imagine him in his prime choosing whatever team he wanted to join anytime his contract allowed him to, how many rings do you think he couldve have won?

    Why would he leave Shaq/Phil? That was the best place he could be

    Well, he chose not to play for Charlotte, so in a way he chose every teammate he's ever played with.

    he was a free agent in 2004, shaq and phil both left by then, he couldve signed with whatever team he wanted except for wherever shaq was and they wouldve gladly signed him, all it took was gasol for him to win his next rings, so any team better than the grizzlies wouldve been more than enough for him

    Kobe is one of the most fortunate superstars ever, he had a bad team for like 3 years his whole career, and he wasnt even the best player for the first 7/8 years. Not to mention coaching and playing for the Lakers

    The answer is 5

    We'll never know how many he would have gotten in Charlotte though.

    Kobe and Mike won with the chips they were dealt (Scottie/Pau). They didn't need to team up with 2 of the best players from their own draft class in a cowardly attempt to stack the deck and take the easiest path possible to multiple titles. That's the difference between them and LeBron...he thinks it's just about winning and not competing for rings, he joined his competition .. His mindset is "I need to win rings in order to be great what's the easiest path to win them?" Instead if "I'm going to rip your heart out and prove I'm the best."

    Remember that time in '07 when Kobe whined and demanded trades until the Lakers were finally able to assemble a competent supporting cast?
