In response to "In Kobe, you're getting a player who gives you an over 40% chance of winning an NBA title each year as a starter." by TFox

I look at it this way; Shaq and him won 3. He and Gasol (in a ridiculous trade) have won 2.

in the interim; they were a .500 team.

Is he good, of course I said he's in that 10th range....

I just think he's an absolutely terrible teammate becuase he's so self-centered. Jordan was driven and such, but he knew he had to trust his teammates. I don't think Kobe's learned that.

Responses:

Jordan had Pippen the whole way; it doesn't invalidate his titles. It's not like Gasol was dominant in this series. At all. -- nm - TFox Jun 18, 07:48 3
- It does give a baseline for Kobe's ability that 5 titles, all required a 2nd fiddle of note - Will Hunting Jun 18, 07:55 2
  - So did Jordan's. And I think you're stretching to put Gasol on Shaq's level too. And Bird had McHale and Parish, and Magic had Kareem, and so on. -- nm - TFox Jun 18, 07:57 1
    - Gasol's not on his level per se, but he's unquestionably put them at a much higher level and came about due to a trade that - Will Hunting Jun 18, 08:03
