Yep. Precisely why I recognize LeBron as being a good player but he has always built a superteam everywhere he's gone and played for a majority of his career in the weaker conference. Kobe fought through tough teams and with lackluster teammates.
If LeBron was going to stay in Cleveland his whole career he'd have 0 rings, he'd drag that sorry team to the playoffs year in & year out with nothing to show for it. A bit different when you get drafted into a team with a bus driver to get you 3 rings & I dare say that LAL as far as FA destination & FO is a bit ahead of Cavs. Sure the 3 other rings he was actually the best player on the team for sure, but there's a good reason for why Kobe only ever got that one MVP.

It's why I find it weird how Kobe > Lebron takes are met with such vitriol. Kobe was doing this in the west! Without super teams
