Kobe is an awesome individual player, but he fails to make an equally awesome team player.

Who is Shaq without Kobe? Who is Lamar Odom without Kobe? Who is Pau Gasol without Kobe? Take Kobe off the Lakers Dynasty equations you got no rings. Shaq was on Orlando for 4 years without a championships. He only got his first 3 rings when he joined KOBE. The argument is the same with Shaq in Miami, who is SHAQ without DWade? Its a team basketball, everybody needs everybody. Micheal wouldn't have won anything without his supporting cast. Throw in a whole bunch of highschool BB players and make Jordan win a championship, that would take him a lifetime to do. And please dont rank LEBRON in the same level of Bird, Magic Johnson, and Mike he is 3 million miles from their ranks. He is just another NBA tool to marketing. He is young, new, and energetic. But dont compare him to the NBA Greats, he needs another 10 years to do that. Stop praising him like he is a NBA god. After 3 years with L.A Kobe started winning championships 3 times straight and what is the KING doing right now after almost 5 years in the League? He is searching for his soul. Where is the RING? Or should the CAVS buy TIM DUNCAN, K.G, KOBE and RAY ALLEN too in order to win RINGS for Lebron?
