BSPN Chemistry? For get chemistry, these idiots need math in order to win. So let's see if they can figure out this equation: USA + Wade + Lebronze - Kobe =

Lakers4Life that is hillarious but sadly its true. There is no true leader in the USA team LeBronze pretends to be one but he sucks at it and well Wade is just layback Wade. They need a leader with attitude and aggression someone that when the team is down by 5 pts and 13 seconds left on the clock will self handlely score 6 points. Any suggestions anyone?

He has yet to prove himself on international play as well yet.

(When healthy) The Lakers have fared worse the past two seasons mainly because they had a mid season crisis. Rudy had to resign. Then the Lakers just packed it in the 1st year. Now last year, the Lakers have vastly improved especially in the post season mainly because of Phil Jackson and Kobe's leadership. Look at how many weapons Lebronze has. Big Z, Drew Gooden, Larry Hughes, and Marshall. That right there is a potential all-star team. Now that the Lakers have grasped the triangle offense, I'd say it's only fair to judge them starting this season.

The point is that one player doesn't make a difference on international play, the stufff you guys are talking about kobe dominating in scoring stretches over the opponents would not help team usa it would probably hurt it, and still imo kobe has yet to be judged to be a better leader than any of the tri-captains yet. individual scoring does not make you a leader.
I'd take 10 years in the NBA over 3 years in the NBA anyday. Kobe's attitude toward winning has changed this season. He saw a glipse of what his team can do in last years playoffs. Expect him to be more vocal and more of a leader this year than ever before. I really think he has matured as a player and will play TEAM BALL this season. LOOK OUT. Kobe is real.

Drew Gooden is a bust. And just ask Emanuel Ginobili if one player makes a difference on international play or not.

LeBron does have Big Z, a top flight center, and he plays in the East. Forty Five wins in the west is just as good as what LeBron did last year, and it was done with a less talented supporting cast.

Game 3 of the finals? Game 5?

Also, do you mean the same "weak" East that has gotten 2 out of the last 3 champions?

The first round in the East is a joke. Please. BTW, yes LeBron's supporting cast is indeed similar, I will agree. There isn't THAT big an aperture there, but his center has a higher PER (22) then any of Kobe's other teammates throughout 78 games. Hell, Drew Gooden has a higer PER than Odom as well.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting authentiq:</div><div class="quote_post">...what's so funny?</div> Are you serious? Do I really have to spell it out to you? I think it's hilarious that Lakers4Life is questioning Wade's killer instinct. Nobody matches Kobe except maybe TMac? Who single-handedly lead his team to a title? Wade I believe.

I know that the Cavs have a little bit better supporting cast than the Lakers, but it's not enough to actually throw into a debate on why Kobe is better. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting huevonkiller:</div><div class="quote_post">Single handedly?

Wade was a major reason, but not the only reason they won the title. Good coach, dominant center, future hall-of-famers, great role players, and dwayne wade. Don't forget that.

Game 5? </div> That still doesn't amount to Kobe. Kobe is doing that on a regular basis. Are you serious? Yes Wade is young. But he is long ways to get on Kobe's level. He hit a game winner against Detoilet Pissons so what. He played the Dall[ass] Mavericks and all of a sudden he is a legend? Need I remind you of who Kobe is?
