I think Kobe could've found a way to win one with a good supporting cast in the 2002-present era. Dirk and Wade both made it happen, but you're telling me Kobe, with the right team, doesn't get it done once?

If he were in Milwaukee his whole career he would be similar to that of Allen Iverson.


So Kobe would have flamed out of the league years ago and gone broke? Aside from being half a foot taller, he and AI don't exactly resemble each other character wise

There's no way to know for sure so it doesn't matter.

He would have never won a championship and still averaged around 27 pts his whole career.

And yes. He probably would have gone crazy. Phil helped keep him under control 1\2 the time. Who knows he might have been kicked out of the league for the whole rape thing if he was in milwaukee instead of LA.

And he has said and Phil has said in his books his only goal in life was to basically be better than MJ. If he stayed in Milwaukee and never won a ring he would have gone crazy.

eta.. I'm just throwing out random hypotheticals..

The point being is you cant just up and move a player to another team and just assume he would still be the same guy.

Kobe's career FG% in the Finals is like 41%. I really just can't understand that considering he had solid teams around him.

I also consider Dirk and Wade as better teammates that make their team better around them typically; however, I will admit I think Wade brings the Heat down because he clashes with what James brings to the Heat.
