Kobe was putting up MJ like numbers 2005-2008, but the Lakers were trash barely getting in the playoffs and getting beat in the first round so nobody really cared.
Kobe didn't make things any easier for himself, because he was fresh off his break up from Shaq and that rape case as well Kobe is very fortunate Jerry West gift wrapped him Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum developed into a serviceable center before he stopped giving a damn.
Those two years were he won titles as the alpha kinda solidified his legacy imo.
