Didn't LeBroom get swept in the Finals?

Question

So why do people get on Kobe about losing in the Finals when a sweep is far worse. Kobe & the Lakers beat the defending champs in WCF. Ohh but thats right, the best player in the NBA needs to get hated on more because they just cant stand him being the best player in the world.

Answer 1

yep, and people forget that the '07 spurs were much worse than the '08 celtics yet the lakers beat them twice while lebron pulled a no show

Answer 2

Yep. Swept.

Kobe > LeBron

2EZ!

Answer 3

I'm a Lakers fan, but seriously people.  Maybe instead of talking about Kobe and Lebron's performances against the Celtics, we should talk about the Celtics' performances against both of those teams.  Or how about the Celtics' performance against the entire league?

Answer 4

yes he did but look at the talent LeBron had on his team vs. the Lakers talent around Kobe..if you put Kobe and LeBron on each other's teams, we all know that the Lakers would still be good and the Cavs would be even worse than they are now

Answer 5

Lebron got swept because he was on the worst team in the history of the NBA finals.

Answer 6

yes he did.  But keep in mind that the Cavs faced a deep and experienced Spurs team as well.

Answer 7

because he couldnt win even with talent on his team.  lebron in no way had talent near the level of the lakers.

Answer 8

LOL..look at the Lebron apoligists...

Lebron had Big Z who was an Allstar...Larry hughes....and 2 solid 3pt shooters....

Kobe had Gasol...and Lamar...Lamar has never been an Allstar...

they basically had similiar teams....Lebron got swept because he has NO skill set beyond ducking his head and charging to the basket!...
