The media thinks we are fools
The media voted for Bron back to back MVPs when Kobe was unstoppable. Kobe was kicking a## and they gave the MVP to Nash. Kobe lead his team to the finals but came up short as the Big 3 from Boston was just too much to handle for Kobe and his trade deadline partner Pau Gasol. Let me remind you that the Lakers were getting kicked out of the playoffs from a young Steve Nash, Amare and the Brazilian Blaze. But when we got Gosal, the team kicked into overdrive, shooting Kobe and the Lakers to the finals in the first year of Gasol. Gasol, I remind you, was not an all star before coming to the Lakers. But when Kobe got his butt kicked by Celtics, he didn't run away. He didn't demand that Pau be traded for an all star. He didn't demand any trades. KOBE RAN IT BACK HARDER AND WON! 2 times. Bron ran away to Miami and Wade after his first finals run.
The media is pushing LeBron is #2. Before the media was pushing LeBron is the GOAT until a real comparison was done and LeBron was left wanting compared to Jordan. Remember all the LeBron the GOAT crap that was going on? It stopped. But now the media is holding onto LeBron is #2 like it's a life preserver or something. They desperately want LeBron to be better than anyone else. When it was clear, LeBron is never going to surpass MJ, the media switched it's narrative to claim the #2 spot. And the media will talk bad about other players to make LeBron look better. I'm reminded of the Joker and Giannis comparisons. LOL OK. If that's who you want to be compared to, Kobe was compared to Jordan, not some one and done champions. But now the media is on a warpath to discredit Kobe for LeBron's sake.
The media is telling us LeBron's Laker tenure was a success. It was OK. LeBron's last 8 years as a Laker we has 1 championship. AND LeBron missed the playoffs twice. While Kobe's last years we went to the NBA finals twice and won twice. BUT Kobe missed the playoffs 3 times compared to LeBron's 2. Mind you, Kobe didn't miss the playoffs until his Achilles tear. In fact he tore his Achillies getting the Lakers to the playoffs. LeBron just fakes an injury so he doesn't have to play in the playoffs. You know?!??! All these 1st round exits just points to the fact the LeBron doesn't believe in the team and just wants to go home early.
LeBron is not better than Kobe. Watching LeBron travel, flop and just try to cheat the game makes me sick. I don't like watching games because of LeBron. I pay attention. I watch highlights. But LeBron's playing style makes me sick. He's lazy and quick to blame someone else for his mistakes. I've played ball. I know what a pivot foot is even if LeBron doesn't. I know how to count my steps before making a move. Watching LeBron is like watching a 5th grader dribbling and trying to post up forgetting which foot is the pivot foot. Watching LeBron is like watching a small Shaq. Kobe had more moves than Jordan, which doesn't make him better. Kobe needed them because he was smaller. BUT if Jordan and Kobe were to go 1v1 Jordan would win. Jordan is bigger and bigger matters. Unless you are LeBron. LeBron barrels his way to the basket. Just look at his shot chart. Kobe did more with less. And that is what makes a great champion. LeBron had AD, Kyrie and Wade for his championships and they made it easier for LeBron for sure. But if Kobe was like LeBron, Kobe would have ran to Duncan for more championships just like LeBron ran to Wade. NO KOBE RAN IT HARDER AND WON! Twice.
