If the city of LA was in the east coast

What would the ring total be if LeBron was in Kobe's shoes (played on the Lakers) and Kobe played in Cleveland.

LeBron = ?
Kobe = ?

[nba_55]

Lebron = 8
Kobe= 0

LeBron = ?
Kobe = ?

Lebron = 0 (1st rounds would be like the finals he's got through his career, and we all know 2/6)
Kobe = 9

[CelticBaller]

Only idiots think Kobe is some non factor. You ni99as stay reaching.

So Kobe would beat the the 2004-7 Pistons or the 2008 celtics? Would he even be a match for the big 3 heat? Lmao

Even if for arguments sake they were able to keep Kobe from the promise land for the few years they were dominant between them, that's still like 17 more years a prime Kobe would be in a weak ass East, feasting.

You tryna make it sound like either of those Teams were dynasties who had the East on lock for years, and Kobe essentially did beat the 08 Celtics Team in 2010. That was the same fuccing core, loser.

You do realize the East is filled with Great Defensive Teams? Kobe would also have to beat the 2003-2006 Pistons, 2004-2006 Heat, Big 3 Celtics, and the Big 3 Heat to go to the Finals every year

The 2010 Celtics also were older than the 2008 Celtics and weren't as great albeit still good.

Yeah the legendary teams you are mentioning specifically had good defenses but the East is just trash. That's BAD OFFENSE you witness not good defense 99% of the time.

The 2010 celtics were not even in the same breath as the 08 celtics idiot, one won 66 games and the other 50.

So Kobe wouldn't even beat those teams, and then to top it off he would eventually lose to the WCF like he did in those years.

For example, if he does somehow manage to beat the Pistons in 05? He loses to the Spurs easily, like he did that year, in 11? He somehow beats the heat? Gets swept By the Mavs in the finals, like he did that year


Please, kobe would still have the same ring count, with probably more loses in the finals, grow up

You clutch on to those to two highly touted defensive squads who weren't even a factor beyond 3 very good years. There were more Teams who made the Finals out East aside from two Teams ya know, and trust me Kobe would've torched every single one of them just as much as Lebron could, it's hilarious you're even trying to make this argument.

Yet all you rest your hat on is the only two Teams Kobe lost to in a Finals, what about the other 5 trips jack ass?

The 2010 Celtics were deeper than their 50 Wins but still nowhere near as great as the 2008 Celtics.

Didn't I say he'd had the same ring count? That's it, like I said in my first post, nothing would change, just a little more loses in the finals probably

[CelticBaller]

>Kobe would've torched those teams

>forgets Kobe had his worst shooting games against them


Ok

[Wade's Rings]

1999- Finals(lose)
2000-2002- Titles(Possibly 2001 FMVP)
2003- Finals(lose)
2004 ECF
2005-2006- Doesn't get past 2nd round
2007- Maybe a Finals Appearance?
2008- ECF
2009- Title
2010- Title
2011-2013- Doesn't get past ECF/2nd Round

Career would look mostly the same with a Few more Finals losses.

[kennethgriffin]

for the idiots that keep quoting me

2004 - malones healthy in the ECF ( and 2-3-2 series screwed LA )

2008 - no 2-3-2 either... game 6 would have been in LA instead of boston

[Wally450]

we have to consider the fact that upsets happen. and a free pass to the finals every year would mean beating better teams atleast 2 out of 6 times



so

1999 - finals
2000 - finals ( win )
2001 - finals ( win )
2002 - finals ( win )
2003 - finals
2004 - finals
2006 - ECF
2007 - 2nd round
2008 - finals
2009 - finals ( win )
2010 - finals ( win )
2011 - finals
2012 - finals


we'd have to assume kobe would have made 11 finals.

and we'd also have to assume he lucks out atleast 2 of 99/03/04/08/11/12

giving him 7 titles
