This is kind of random, but I thought it was worth bringing up. When comparing Kobe and LeBron you have to remember Kobe was drafted to the Lakers at the beginning of Shaq's prime in 96. That would of been like if rookie LeBron in 03 would of been paired up with a prime Duncan. How many rings do you think LeBron would have if he a similar situation as Kobe?
