Switch Lebron and Kobe in 2013, what happens?

[Jameerthefear]

Lebron = championship with stacked Lakers
Heat struggle to make the playoffs.

Lakers 3 peat


Heat miss playoffs

Kobe shoots 35% in the season since he plays GOAT east defences every night

[stallionaire]

Lakers would win the championship.

Heat would get bounced in 2nd round.

[Shade8780]

Kobe would probably molest Bosh in the showers and bully Wade.

LeBron would win the championship with Pau, Nash and Dwight.

Lakers still have D'Antoni, Dwight still has back surgery, Pau still fails at the 4 and gets hurt, and Nash still loses it right? Around 50 wins, first/second round exit. Those who think Kobe was the problem with those Lakers are really, really dumb.

The Heat with Chalmers/Kobe/Wade/Bosh/Bird win around 58-60, still probably make it out of the East.

Loool we gon act like Kobe didn't basically shut Dwight out of the offense with his egotistical chucking?

Chucking bad shots + no defence + bad locker room presence + being an asshole to teammates = kobe being the #1 problem


But of course Kobe is unblamable in the eye of Laker fans

Hmmmm....Interesting topic. Not sure exactly....but i think it's fair to say the Lakers could be a title contender. 2013 Lebron was very dominant. Played near perfect basketball in the reg season and was solid overall in the playoffs. The Lakers would be much better defensively, and imo lebron and dwight will co-exist better and have better chemistry both on and off the court than Kobe and dwight. Probably close to 55 wins, and Pau was back for the playoffs. Dwight/pau/bron would do work...

The Heat? They'd suffer defenively, and win quite a few less games. How many less? Not sure....Not confident they make the finals either considering how bosh & wade struggled through the first 3 rounds.

Bron was just on another level then Kobe that year, and that's not a knock on kobe who was great. Especially considering his age...

You do know that Kobe and Wade play the same position, right? Oh, LeBron actually played defense in '13 (not all the time though), while Kobe flat out sucked ass on the defensive end. I don't see Kobe (any version) winning a title in '13, with Wade being injured and Bosh sucking ass.

Lakers win 73 games and go 16-0 in the playoffs.
Heat barely make the playoffs and lose to Indiana in round 1, while the media once again gives Kobe a free pass and claims he needs "more help"

[Trollsmasher]

LeBron with dominant frontcourt is not even fair

+ his leadership would make Dwight play much better
