If Lebron came to the nba in around 2015 or 2020. He would’ve averaged more rebounds and assists since the spacing is open. It’s easy to get rebounds these days cuz of the 3pt shooting. Lebron would’ve averaged 20 7 7
Start of the video... Regardless of Kobe's killer instinct and dismantling of his opponent. He was such a mentor for the young stars coming into the league.
thank you , awesome to go back and see this, wonder if any NBA players today would countinue to play with a hurt shoulder as Kobe did, I think not. Hilarious to see him try to shoot left-handed, they don't make them like that anymore.
@@anxiety1018 I can agree with that. By 2014, he had the rings, two finals mvps, and four straight finals appearances, five total, at that time. And four league mvps.

It insane to me how he a rookie during his first time coming in NBA while Lakers right there were building a fucking super team lmfao... shit Rocket 1996 were original super team before this.. and all that hate Lebron get is stupid
It's clear Lebron will be the greatest when his career is over and he might play until age 50! The only other player who could have challenged him was Wilt if he took the game more seriously & worked on his overall skills ( he left MANY championship's & MVP's on his plate). Although back then, coaches wouldn't let big men touch the ball beyond 4 feet of the rim anyway.
This basically summarizes everything. According to the commentator, Kobe wasn't that type of guy who exaggerated emotions when he was hurt. Also, Kobe made sure that he guarded the best man on the opposing team. On the other hand, LeBron will never do that. He loves to flop and exaggerates everything. He doesn't guard the best man either. Kobe also continued to play even though he was hurt. That is a warrior!
So you mean to tell me Bronze has been a 4th quarter choke artist since his early years? Smh. Losing to a Lakers team with no Kobe and no Shaq and no aged Malone. 🤦♀️. Its sad people forget all his failures and have the audacity to say he carried bums early at CLE. Cause it looks here like Bronze was the one getting carried for lack of a consistent outside shot.
