    Q: Great players before you, from Magic Johnson to Larry Bird to Michael Jordan, all seem to have said that they would never have wanted to team up with their rivals.

    A: Right, right.

    Q: Do you think their argument has no substance - because the game has changed so much?

    A: Um, well I believe that when Magic was drafted to the Lakers he had Kareem and, as the team was built, James Worthy was part of that team, as was Jamaal Wilkes, and Bob McAdoo so he had four Hall of Famers right there on his team. And Jordan went through his bumps and bruises coming up with Chicago but they were eventually able to draft Scottie Pippen and then they got Horace Grant – two great players – and then they got Dennis Rodman – another Hall of Famer. So that team was built for Jordan. Same with Larry Bird. He had Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Danny Ainge – all great players. And eventually Bill Walton went to the Celtics. So I know the history of the game. Individuals get a lot of the spotlight. But there's never just been one individual who has done it by himself. You can go all the way back to when Oscar Robinson dominated at a high level and he was averaging triple-doubles season after season. But it was not until he teamed up with Kareem that he was able to win a championship. Same thing goes with Jerry West. Not a lot of people know that Jerry West went to the finals nine times and lost the first eight times. He won it at his ninth try. Throughout history only Kobe was able to win multiple championships with only one other all star teammate.

    Person 1: "Yet X isn't the greatest"
    Person 2: "Yes, X is greater than Y"

    The quality of an American education right there.

    Lebron added this via twitter: "Everyone but Kobe who has won 5 rings has played with two additional HOFs at the same time."

    "Kobe is the only player in NBA history with 5 rings who only had one other HOF on his team each time he won."

    Did Lebron ignore Dirk on purpose? Dirk had no allstar help and his HOFer was 38years old lol. And yet he took a huge dump on your 3allstar team.Way to go Lebron.

    i guess. not to mention they were in a very challenging series in the 1st round against chris paul &......Aaron grey. never mind

    guess 6 month offseasons isnt enough for pro athlets with trainers & team docters. not to mention kobe having his own medical staff.

    lakers should have had alot of rest from when shaq left and gasols arrival.

    using the 08 olympics as an excuse.

    im not a mavs fan just pointing out the facts.

    it's not an excuse it's the only rational explanation. Everyone and their mama knows Dallas isn't better than LA... even those ed up ass Dallas fan boys know this ...they're all still shocked than a mutha er...they know that blue moon was in the sky during the play-offs...jump shooting teams win les every 30 yrs or so...

    The 08 Olympics is like another finals for Kobe... sure it counts he lead his country to gold and was tired after 3 straight le runs plus an Olympics...it's a fact...

    So the Lakers allowed the Mavs to embarrass them on national TV because they were tired? Really? So Kobe's punk ass allowed Dirk and his crew to dominate his team because he was tired from playing from playing in the Olympics 6 months before? Well, that proves it, Kobe cant be GOAT. That pussy got tired in the 2011 playoffs and allowed his team to get swept (badly) in the second round.

    They should put this statement on Kobe's HOF plague:

    Winner of 5 World Championships. Could have won 6, but this pussy got tired and just gave up in round 2.
