All he is saying is that unlike with every title Jordan or magic won, for most of kobes titles he was not the most dominate player on the court.

It is just a stupid fricking article. I guess Shaq did not win a title with the Heat, Wade never won this year, Scottie never one with the Bulls, etc.

Who gives a frick if you are the best player or not on the team? Kobe was arguably the second best player in the league and the second best player on the team with the Lakers three-peat.

The point is that 98% of the population understands that Jordan should be rated higher than Kobe. Whitlock does not need to spew this garbage. How can you fault someone for playing in a desirable city/franchise with an excellent front office and a couple of nice draft picks?

It should be that high, but it isn't. Out of sight, out of mind crowd needs reminders...just not from Whitlock.

Kobe still had to be the best player of his era to win 5 titles though
