I didnt get a chance to read this whole thread but what caught my eye was people stating kobe won the first 3 rings because of shaq?? Thats kinda absurd..yes shaq played a big part in those championships but kobe deserves just as much credit..if shaq won it on his own why didnt he win any with penny while he was in his prime? Hmm...it took teaming up with kobe to get a ring and kobe then proved he could win two more without him, shaq moved on to just win 1 more..moving on from that, i can guarantee 20-30 years from now kobe will be remembered more for his greatness than lebron unless bron magically catches up and starts wining rings..im also pretty sure lebron wont be able to play at kobes level when he reaches 34yo..what kobe is doing at his age is right now is more than impressive and i cant think of anyone else averaging almost 30 that late in a career..can anyone else?
