The perceived next GOAT(LBJ) could not three peat, this just goes to show you how hard it is to do so, and the fact that he couldn't do it. does weigh against him. You either get it done or you don't. In winning championships, LBJ as of right now, is in a different tier

While I believe Kobe did have more of an impact than his haters will admit, you can't say his three-peat means more than what Lebron has done these last three years. Lebron wasn't playing alongside the most dominant big man in the last 20+ years, and he wasn't being coached by a legend, with a younger, more consistent supporting cast

Championships are team accomplishments. Kobe didn't 3peat by himself. Kobe 3peated playing with one of the best big men ever and a top 8 GOAT in Shaq. Even he couldn't 3peat in 2011 when his supporting cast became more ordinary. Put young LeBron with peak Shaq and they most likely 3peat too.

I guess we're not allowed to give Kobe credit for the 3peat because he played with Shaq but we're going to give Lebron all the credit for the 4 finals run and pretend like he didn't play with 1 superstar (at the time) and all-star of his choosing.

Where did I say in my post that we are not allowed to give Kobe credit? Reading comprehension...

All I said was that championships are team accomplishments and implying that Kobe is better than LeBron because he was able to 3peat with a peak Shaq puts him above LeBron isn't really right. That's just a lazy way of analyzing players and basically saying 5>2.

Kobe is an all-time great in his own right, a top 10 player of all-time but that's absolutely poor analysis.
