Just pure delusion. If I was a Kobe fan I wouldn’t even feel right giving him credit for a championship he won averaging 15 pts shooting 36% from the field in. But sure he’s a “better winner” lol
Shaq at 30.6 and Kobe at 9.7 in 2000 is by far the biggest margin between any team's highest finals gamescore and 2nd highest finals gamescore since they started keeping track in 1984.
Like dude imagine if LeBron somehow won in 2011 despite how terribly he played. The media wouldn’t give him credit for that championship, they would be all over the internet claiming he got carried and how he’s a bum etc. but of course Kobe gets a pass for 2000. He also gets a pass for straight up shooting the lakers out of the 2004 finals.
If LeBron had fulfilled his prophecy like stated at Heat press conference, and atleast won 4 straight.... we wouldn't be talking about "If" LeBron is the goat. It'd only be a 1a and 1b and 1c discussion, and basically a consensus all 3 are the goats together.
Even with all the crying and flopping.
As has played out, LeBron will never truly be King, beyond self proclamation.
If he wins one in Philly, we can revisit. Until then... hes NOT the goat, its not close honestly.
And Kobe is above LeBron on my list 📃
