Do the 2000-02 Lakers 3peat replacing Kobe with any of the following players?

[SouBeachTalents]

Just bold or say the one's that you feel could replace Kobe and help the Lakers 3peat. Or if you're really up for it, say how many titles you feel they'd win with each

VC
Allen
Durant
Iverson
Carmelo
Pierce
LeBron
CP3
Kidd
Parker
McGrady
Nash
Wade

None of those guys would 3peat in Kobe's place.

However, if you replaced Shaq with any of these in their prime:

Webber
Dirk
Duncan
KG
Brand
Gasol
Rasheed
Jermain O'Neal
Antwan Jamison

Kobe wins at least 2 rings. Probably more.

[COLOR="Magenta"]They wouldnt win with nash or kidd because they werent good enuff scorers to put in replace of Kobe

idk bout Pierce cuz hes very inefficient




Err1 else would win on that team [/COLOR]

None of the players in OP can match Kobe's production in the 2001 Playoffs and the 2002 Finals, not even sure how many of them would have stepped up in the 2000 WCF Game 7 the way a young Kobe did and take over the OT of Game 4 2000 Finals the way Kobe did.

They probably win 1 title from that time period.

You'd also have to factor in that they'd be the same age as Kobe was from that time period, to be a fair comparison.

[IncarceratedBob]

LeBron would win every year he played with peak Shaq

Most of those players would win at least one, some would repeat but I don't think people realize how hard it is to three-peat even with one of the GOAT coaches and GOAT centers of all-time. You need to have that championship desire and mindset to win three straight years. I, arguably, only see 4-5 players that might three-peat given the situation.

That's Durant, Wade, LeBron. Maybe Iverson & maybe McGrady(healthy). The PG's Nash, Kidd, CP3 would win one, maybe repeat but ultimately don't score enough on the perimeter and/or have that clutch gene.

TMac was NEVER better than Kobe. At BEST he had a SLIGHT edge in 2003 (TMac's best season... just so happens to be one of Kobe's best too, you know, a little something called the 40-point streak, and a 35-point streak).

That was it.

TMac wasn't as good as Kobe from 2000-2002 (the time of the 3peat OP is alluding to).

I guess we will never know but lets go with facts... kobe without shaq almost 3 peated. Shaq without kobe resume isnt too impressive.

[kennethgriffin]

take away kobe and they dont win anything


none of those guys are guaranteeing

This.

[Jameerthefear]

Yes. A lot of them do. Especially Wade and Durant. Kobe is nothing more than a taller Monta Ellis.

I hate to reply to posts like u but lets go with facts... out of all that group none of them have done anything impressive without colluding with a fellow player on that list. Kobe has however gone to 3 straight finals and won b2b... shaq couldnt do without kobe what kobe has done without shaq
