In the nba finals in 2000, it was the Los Angeles lakers vs the Philadelphia 76ers. People say kobe was carried by shaq but that is not true. Kobe put as much work as shaq. If shaq didnt have kobe he wouldn't have been as dominant. Lebron left his team to join a super team in Miami, Miami had Chris Bosh and Dwayne wade. Kobe didn't join a super team. Some kobe haters say Kove faced bums in the finals and lebron is the only one that faces some real competition, that is false, in 2010 kobe faced a super team which were the Boston celtics. The super stars were Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon rondo. Meanwhile the lakers had kobe, and Pau gasol. In this series the finals went to game 7. Kobe fans will respect lebron but if his fans start disrespecting kobe then we are gonna argue about who's better
