I agree with this. Titles are a great measuring stick for comparing players, but they have to be viewed in a certain context. Kobe was obviously a major part in all 5 of his titles - but Shaq was the FMVP for the first 3, Kobe proved he could be the lead dog on his last 2, solidifying that he is an all-time great.

Lebron's already surpassed Kobe in FMVP's though, even if his ring count isn't as high as Kobe's. My all-time list right now (top 7):

1) MJ
2) Magic
3) Kareem
4) Lebron
5) Kobe
6) Shaq
7) Tim Duncan

Yeah fuck those scrubs Russell and Chamberlain

To give you a quick summary regarding the negatives of Kobe’s shooting/ scoring here are some of records that Kobe Bryant holds:

• Most missed shots in a regular season
• Most missed game winners and buzzer beaters
• Only Finals MVP not to shoot above 50% in a single finals game (did this both in 2009 and 2010)
• Worst shooting performance by any NBA finals MVP in history (40%)
• Of the top 11 scorers of all time, Kobe has the lowest FG%
• There are only 13 games in NBA history where someone has scored 50 points or more on sub 50% shooting, Kobe is responsible for 7 of those 13 games.
• Most missed shots in a playoff series
• Most missed shots in a finals.

Bet you didn't know that huh?

Yet some how he's still got more titles than LBJ. I would say that he's pretty AMAZING having done all of that while being a terrible shooter. TEHE.

He's the vegas underdog for the 6th time in 7 years heading into the finals.

That must explain all those finals losses.

So many losses...

Yea because he has to play the Western Conf in the Finals. Interesting considering he literally runs through the first 3 rounds of the post season every year.
