I have no reason to argue it he started the decade as Pippen and ended it in the "MJ" role. Not bad to bookend the decade that way

No he did not. He started it as Worthy and ended it as Worthless.

Note to OP: Kobe was not a sidekick, at least from one example which no one is willing to debate, or take the argument further to prove it once and for all either way. Right now, it's opinion only and the facts so far, take a giant on opinion. Here's the link, have at it. ambchang ducked and ran like a little girl when asked to investigate.

Win against the Mavs first in the playoffs and then we'll talk

How about making the finals in consecutive years? I think that's a more relevant and difficult accomplishment, no?

Kobe is the only one to win it as the sidekick of his team. Sorry sons, but it's the truth

and then he got swept by JJ Barea

Jim didnt win a le this decade.

But Jim and Dirk were never considered second options, as opposed to Kobe
