Bulls: Kobe/Pippen vs MJ/Shaq/Gasol/Bynum/Malone/Payton

[TheGreatYacht]

Kobe Bryant would have to adjust his game to the more rough physical style of play during the 90's or else he would have a heart attack with all the non-calls by the refs. Same goes for Lebron and Durant. If Kobe, Lebron, or Durant would flop and about the officiating the way they do today during the 90's, they'd look like a bunch of pussies.

What's the ring count? Especially since Kobe is a career 40% shooter who couldn't even manage to hit half his shots when he was wide open with Shaq being double and trippled team. In an era of no hand checking, how would he fare in an era with it?

Imma simple man...so here's what i can tell you.

MJ before Pip =0 Swept multiple times by Bird, Magic, and Isaiah
MJ without Pip= 0
Pip without MJ = 0
MJ with Pip after Bird, Magic, and Isiah got old = 6
Shaq before Kobe = Swept., lost every year
Shaq without Kobe = 1
Kobe without Shaq = 2
ShaKobe together = 3 peat
Kobe without Gasol = 3
Gasol without Kobe = 0 and 0-16 in the play-offs
Kobe without Bynum = 3
Bynum without Kobe = 0
Kobe without Malone = 5

The lowest and most depraved common denominator is my guy Kobe. He's transformed losers into winners and winners
into all-stars.

PS:

Lebron without Kobe = 1 bronze
Duncan without Kobe = 1 bronze
Lebron with Kobe = 2 gold medals.

Lebron cannot win on the world stage without Kobe.
Tim Duncan quit on the United States of America and refuses to play again.
Again Kobe transforms losers into winners and hands out Gold medals to Students.
