LAL still keeping Sessions? Cuz Meeks is better than him imo.
You're obviously 14 years old.

If Kobe won one without an elite big, I'd say he is better, but as it is, Jordan > all.
On another note, this will be an interesting year next year..
* Whether the Lakers can gel well enough to win..
* Can the Thunder come back from the Finals collapse? Will Westbrook improve into an elite PG?
* Can the Heat continue with their small ball? Wade/Allen/Battier/Bron/Bosh is a pretty small lineup..

Sessions signed with Bobcats a month ago... But they are two different players at different positions..

Maybe y'all Laker fans could stop raking Kupchak over the coals so much.
Every time he's needed to, he's made moves to keep the Lakers relevant as title contenders.
I despise the Lakers but gotta give credit where credit is due. They don't rebuild just reload.

It's funny to think, that despite everyone saying Lebron needs help to win a title...
Kobe has always needed help to win the title. He was never able to win by himself..

Name one guy who hasn't needed help to win a title in the past 30 years, let alone history..
And the argument made is people join to play with him.. He doesn't join to play with others. (and his help has always been through trades).. What's Kobe going to say don't trade for Pau.. Don't trade for Nash.. Don't trade for Dwight.

THIS DEF WONT HELP
Dan Devine, Yahoo! Sports: Westbrook is limping off the floor, straight to the locker room. That's not good.

5:29 Eric Freeman: Uh oh, Westbrook just limped right to the locker room. Didn't even head back to the bench.

True. But it's not really like that is it?
* He demanded he got traded to the Lakers when he got drafted, and they acquired an elite center in Shaq..
* Kobe demanded to get traded away and was on the verge of being a Clipper, and then they mingled their way into acquiring Pau, so he stayed.
* He's been rather fortunate to play with some of the best bigs his whole career.. (not to say he isn't an elite player, just pointing it out)
* If Lebron won in 07.. That would kill the argument for winning without help.. Too bad he ran into the prime Spurs..

Kobe has had the luckiest NBA career EVER. And Mitch is a freaking genius. Wish more GM's had his mentality.

The time he demanded to be traded to the time they got Pau 8 and a half months later.
Fortunate? Yes. But so was MJ when the Bulls traded for Scottie Pippen for Olden Polynice.. Or Rodman for Will Perdue
He actually didn't demand to be traded.. He said he wouldn't play for the Hornets.. The Hornets agreed the day before the draft to trade their pick to LA according to Bill Branch head scout for Charlotte at the time. And Jerry West who fell in love with Kobe during his workout told Hornets to select Kobe for the Lakers. According to Branch, the Hornets never considered drafting Kobe

Kobe's hall of fame speech should start "Id like to thank the Orlando Magic...."

That is horrible to hear, although I figured that would eventually happen.. Guess the Lakers are more of a lock to come out of the West....

Kobe need to thanks the Orlando Magic?
LOl joke. More like Shaq, Pau need to thanks Kobe and soon will be Dwight
Kobe is a better offensive player than Jordan. Prime Kobe is a thing of beauty. I love MJ but Kobe has a prettier game and is more deadly in clutch moment.
MJ greatest shots was over Craig Ehlo and Byron Russel lol. Those shots were joke. Kobe had hit way more difficult shots it's not even a contest who's the better shooter.
Jordan and the Bulls were the better team in all 6 Finals. The Jazz was the best team MJ played in Finals. Weak lol
04 Piston, 08, 10 Celtics > Any team MJ play in Finals
