Don't get me wrong, Kobe is one of the best players of all time, but also the most overrated, by his fans and by some analysts. He rode Shaq to 3 rings, and the 2002 ring was rigged. Also, what did Kobe do when Shaq left? Nothing. He averaged about 35 points per game, but his team still got bounced in the first round. Lebron led a worse roster to the FINALS in 2007.
