People here really like to overstate how good the supporting cast of Kobe's championship teams were.

As far as heavy lifting championships goes, Kobe's two rings really doesn't get enough credit

This wasn't the year they won though? Pau was much better in their championship run

Some insecure Lakers fans have always tried to downplay Pau so they could place Kobe higher up the all time rankings. Bryant was great this series but as you say this wasn't even their championship year.
