"I do not think that the Celtics would
have lost to LA if you replaced Kobe with Lebron. "

I disagree with you.
it makes a big difference.

if u put Lebron in Lakers, he can create so much opportunities for his
team-mates, he's like a hybrid of Magic / Jordan..
it'll be truely show-time dynasty #2.

Lebron is a far superior passer than kobe, just take a look at lakers
roaster,
almost every guards, small forwards avged decent percentages from beyond the
arc.
Lebron would make them even scarier.

and he's a better rebounder. in the LA/Bos series, celts averaged 5 more
rebounds than lakers.
Lebron averaged 2 more rebounds than kobe vs Bos, so just merely replace
Lebron w/ kobe would a swing of 4 rebounds.
4 extra possesions, how many games the lakers may have won with 4 extra
possesions?

Lebron was practically punishing the celts defense, averaging 13 FTs / game.
how many did kobe attempted? 8 FT/game, and the average was brought up by
game 3, when he attempted 18.
he never attempted more than 10 in other games.

you know how many FTs D-Wade average in 06' championships? 16 FTs/gm
championships are won from the stripe! just ask MJ!

kobe simply doesn't have the quick first steps of Lebron or D-wade, kobe is
more of a mid-range jump shooter, and when he's cold, he can be really
cold!!
kobe doesn't have the physical status of Lebron to take the punishments
under the hoop nor he has the fearless guts of D-wade to take it to the
hoop.

KG may be on the skinny side, but he's bull-strong!
I rewatched gm 4, KG practically just lowered his shoulder and lightly
bumped a bigger Odom, and knocked Odom to the floor...
kobe is having no biz messing around in that nigga's neighbourhood. kobe is
too small and skinny to take punishments in the paint, considering that he's
30 now too..
