MVP awards aren't worth shit - Just ask two time mvp award winner Steve Nash
One championship title > five mvp awards
word
One championship title > five mvp awards
word
If only people cared about MVP like you BOT. Sadly for you, the only thing people care about are rings, players included.
Steve Nash has two MVP awards, but no championships - ask him which he would rather have losers
LMAO
This argument is pointless. Lebron is the best player of the nba right now and the Heat is poised for another championship. Though he is a great guard, Kobe is not exactly a championship player anymore. He may be lauded for his will and desire but his lack of admittingthat he does not have the youth or health to continue his (outdated and chemistry breaking) style of play will be his undoing.
And yes, Lebron wins most every match-up with Kobe. They are just different players. As an all around player, a Lebron led team would beat a Kobe led (not Shaq-led) team. The Cavaliers beat the Lakers on most every matchup including the championship Lakers.
Besides, the Laker fans have nothing much to look up for. A crippled Kobe and 40 year old Nash leading the likes of Kaman and Young. This smells of bad drama. I have no doubt Kobe isn;t looking for a championship. He will try to score and concentrate on individual stats rather than play team ball. I do not think he will ever defer unless he retires. Let us all be honest... the only way Kobe will win a 6th championship is if he defers to a player in his prime.
Yeah, but Lebron has a combination of MVP's and Championships that is greater than or equal to Kobe. PLUS, he dominates him in head-to-head matchups. Not enough proof, huh? Heh. Word.
If I couldnt win a championship because my team was just not as good i would be very satisfied with an MVP. I have yet to see a player win a championship by themselves. Rings are a team accomplishment way more so than an MVP.
Think Horrible Bosses. Not only does Lebron James completely own Kobist in the W/L column, but he statistically dominates him in head-to-head matchups. Fact of business, Lebron has been Kobist's cruel boss since he came in the league. I don't know if there's been a bigger whipping boy than Kobist for Lebron.Word.
Except that Lebron's team was good enough to get to the finals and Cleveland and he still choked. MVP is a worthless award and has no relevency to championships. Championships is about having a good team, but Miami had a good team the year they got asswhupped by Dallas. Face it - Lebron is just not all that great
LeBron's not even making the playoffs in the West though. Hard to compare the teams. Varejao, Gortat and Williams alone is way better than just Odom, Brown, Parker.
Dwyane Wade has been playing with LeBron James for two and a half seasons now, and has been to the NBA Finals two years in a row with James. This season, LeBron is having one of the most impressive seasons in NBA history, and looks to be well on his way to his fourth Most Valuable Player award.
But at All-Star media day, Wade said it was Kobe Bryant, not James, who is the greatest player of his era.
“When you look back at this era there’s going to be a lot of players that you can pick from. You can talk about their greatness. This is a good era for basketball, and it would be led by Kobe Bryant – who was the greatest player in our era.”
This comes on the heels of Michael Jordan’s comments that he would take Kobe over LeBron because of Bryant’s five championships. While Wade certainly didn’t mean any disrespect to James, it’s a sign of admiration for Bryant’s accomplishments that he would indicate Kobe as the generation’s greatest talent.
Wade will face off with Bryant once again in the All-Star game on Sunday.
Kobe was also voted the league's favorite player by the players themselves. Please be quiet Heat fans and recognize greatness.
