    Wade went 10-41 in his prime in 08'.

    KAJ "missing the playoffs" needs to be put in context. He missed it one year when the team went 3-14 without him (14 win pace--he had those scrubs at 35-30, a 44 win pace, with him) and in the other year the Lakers had a top 4 record in the West, but because the rules at the time put the top 2 teams in each division in the playoffs, they missed the playoffs.

    Let it go, butthurt LeBron Stans. Let it go...

    2/5 and there's nothing you can do to change that.

    Just learn to accept things in life and move on.

    Wut?

    Basketball prime is 28-29. Kobe won the MVP and went to the Finals when he hit his prime. Jordan won his first ring in his prime.

    Shaq only won when he got to his prime too.

    The fact that Kobe won rings well before his prime is impressive too.

    Nice try OP.

    Kareem is the only one of those guys that's a top ten player. I agree with this logic though. Kobe doesn't belong in the top ten. 12-15 range is about right for Bryant.

    Wade was injured in 08. When you're injured you aren't in your 'prime'

    Kobe was actually leading the '05 team to a winning record before Rudy T left because of medical reasons and Kobe, Odom and Butler all missed like 40 games that year due to injuries irrc.
