C'mon man... pointing out fact and hating are two entirely different things. Kobe is currently the 3rd best player in the league and has been since Bron and Wade's 3rd yr in the league. Stat-wise, with the exception of scoring (and that's debatable), Bron and Wade have been better than Kobe since 05. In both have had multiple seasons shooting over 47% from the field while Kobe has never reached 46 or better, but, somehow, he scores more points per game... Why? He shoots... often, he shoots at the expense of his team. His assists usually come from him jumping up to shoot, realizing that he's been double teamed and then panic passing to Derek Fisher for the shot.
Yea Lebron would rather have 5 rings... but that aint the point... Ask Kobe if he'd rather be Jordan. The unquestioned greatest of his era and possibly ever... No one EVER questioned his leadership, he never ran his best teammate out, never bitched about a trade b/c his beast teammate wasn't there... Oh and BTW it wasn't close, MJ was the BEST player over a 12 year span no one questioned that... Kobe = sooo many questions
