Comments like this is what LeBron will see/read/hear no matter how many rings he wins. So I think it is safe to say that his legacy has an automatic ceiling on it as we currently speak.

So my question, when discussing Kobe's legacy, do we just forget those 3 rings? I am talking to you Deuce.
I wouldn't just forget them per se, cause he did play a role in getting those 3 rings. For me, when discussing Kobe's legacy my opening statement unlike the rest of you dudes wouldn't be "Kobe has 5 rings". Reason being is because Kobe was not the MAIN factor for 3 of the rings he has. It's like you guys are tyring to maximize his legacy in a sense by trying to pull the wool over folks eyes into saying Kobe's role in getting his first 3 rings was larger than what it truly was. Like I said before, for more than half of the rings Kobe has, he was never the Finals MVP, never the regular season MVP and wasn't the leading scorer for any of his first 3 championships...........FACT.
Ok, you make no God damn sense. So how many rings does everybody have then? We have to subtract rings now unless you were the best player of the team? Even if you were ALL NBA, you weren't the best player, so you don't get to count the ring to your total?
So Duncan has 3.
Shaq has 3
Kobe has 2
Magic has, how many Magic have? 3 Kareem got an MVP, Worthy got 1 too.
Bird has 2
Pippen has zero.
Wade has 1
So that means if the Heat won this year, Lebron wouldn't have gotten to count this ring on his resume.
This is what you just said Deuce. Read this post over and over and over and let this marinate for you a lil bit. Then come up with a new spin to take away titles from Kobe, this is great.
Dude was getting 28 a game, 2nd team all nba for title 2, all nba for title 3, 5th in the MVP voting, and yet he can't count these rings on his resume cuz Shaq was there. Man, a WHOLE BUNCH of resumes are about to be changed league wide. Only one that is safe and secure is Mike, which I think is the only thing Deuce is tryin to do here, save Mike a decade later.

i have no idea what you are trying to say... wade's euro step is a cheese move? looks good but when it fails, he still finds a way to create a shot?...Originally Posted by HOOSIERdaddy282
WADE'S Legacy:
There's one thing people always overlook when comparing the heat duo to Kobe. They travel ALL THE TIME. Regardless of era, taking 4 to 6 steps every other play is not good basketball, whether they call it or not. See, Kobe is from that era where you had to dribble to score. Can you imagine how unguardable MJ would be if he had a "crab dribble" in his repertoire? And that Euro-step cheese that Wade does? It's beautiful when it works. But when it fails, all it does is highlight Wade's lack of size and how he has to compensate for it with timing and agility (make that SUPERB timing and agility, but still). Kobe, in his prime athletic days, was a threat to go OVER you. Wade has been a threat that would go through you, but only if he caught you back peddling or not paying attention. In closing, I love Wade. But he doesn't have enough time or gas mileage to catch the Ring Leader. Now that LeBum guy?

You really stand little chance in this thread, but if you want to do a post on Duncan, go ahead. He's the only one you know about anyways.
