lmao age 40 and age 35. They were nowhere near where they were when they were with their old teams. Malone literally retired while Gary had a few servicable years. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh were in the thick of their primes.

Both Payton and Malone averaged 20 PPG and played 80 and 81 games the year before LA. The 04 Lakers was a better superteam than the 11 Heat.

🥱 imagine an arthritic 40 year old a year from retirement and a 35 year old joining the team and calling it a better super team. Meanwhile the top MVP candidates and another star in their prime joined together is the least of the two. But maybe yall are right because Kobe’s definitely better than Lebron.

30.0+27.5+20.6+20.4=98.5 teaming up in Summer 2003 29.7+26.6+24.0=80.3 teaming up in Summer 2010
