    Because of inferior coaching, Phil Jax makes some magic. He's the best ever. LeBron is otherwise much better than Kobe.

    The Heat weren't ready to win it all this season. The big three are great, but they still lack interior presence and a good point guard.
    Yep. Either Spoelstra was clueless or the players tuned him out. And akin is that his teamates/refs didn't carry him to victory like Kobes.
    Shaq, Bob Horry, Gasol, Bynum, Swisher, Joey Crawford, Bavetta.

    Once again all we gotta ask is how would Kobes have done this year with the Heat minus LeBron.
    1st round win maybe. 2nd round swept.

    cause Kobe is a bad mother er, while Lebron is a cuckold

    Kobe knew he could rape a girl and get away with it, while Lebron is at home watching Delonte West banging his mom and Rashard Lewis banging his girlfriend.

    I think it has something to do with no father in the home and a mom who couldn't raise him alone. Kobe had the pop who made him tough and mentally strong. Kobe's mom kicked his ass. Bron didn't have none of that. Kobe handled it all in stride. He took on Shaq which was unheard of , even after Shaq slapped his ass in practice Kobe kept gunning for his crown. He took on Colorado, the punk ass media, the lying and more. No way Bron could handle that kind of pressure.

    With each passing moment Bron makes Kobe's legacy grow. People starting to give my boy props and I know it must hurt they ass to do so...

    Wade was always Kobe lite. With one more Lebron post season loss coupled with one more Kobe le the floodgates of love will open up to Kobe and laker fan.

    I'm just tickeled pink over this..I'm real giddy...

    I think there are different ways to answer this question. At this point in their respective careers, LeBron is a more dominant individual talent. Take away the mental aspect of the game, and most people even a good majority of Laker fans would agree that LeBron is the more talented player.

    I do think there are plenty of people who would argue that if you replace LeBron with Kobe, the Heat would still be in a similar position as the Heat were already. If you talk about a Wade-Kobe back court with probably Mike Miller filling in at starting SF, the Heat would still be a great team. They wouldn't have been as good defensively, but still a team to be reckoned with in the East playoffs.

    Now let's rephrase the question by asking if you replace LeBron with Kobe and in those four losses in the NBA Finals, with the Heat ahead by double digits in I think 2 or 3 of those contests and at the very least with the score close enough for either team to win in the fourth quarter, would Kobe have no-showed the same way as LeBron did? Now we know Kobe quit on the Lakers in 2006 when he basically acknowledged his team just wasn't good enough. But you put him on a team that has a legitimate chance to win, would he have been a reluctant shooter, seemingly afraid of the moment, afraid of shooting? Win or lose, would he have played that way or would he have gone down shooting and doing everything he could to win, even if it ended up with a loss?

    The question isn't about whether Kobe now is still as talented as LeBron. It's about the mentally toughness of each player. Would Kobe feel insecure? Would he play tentatively? I think those questions are more relevant in this discussion.

    I don't see any way the Heat would've lost with Kobe. The Heat "should've" won if Lebron played at an average or even slightly below average level. He didn't even play good on the defensive end of the ball in the latter part of the series, which he was trying to claim he was. It really came down to Lebron playing extremely passively and that cost his team a le.

    Lebron needs a coach that is willing to get into his grill. Imgine what Daly or Red would do with Lebron. Even Pop (before he went soft) would be better.
