Noteworthy teammates when they won a ring:
Magic - Kareem, Worthy, N. Nixon (16-3-8), J. Wilkes (17-6-2), B. Scott, AC Green, M. Cooper, B. McAdoo
Kareem - O. Robertson, B. Dandridge (HOF 18-7-4) + see LA teammates above
Wilt - Philly: H. Greer (19-5-4), B. Cunningham (21-10), C. Walker (18-7-2), LA - J. West, G. Goodrich (All HOF)
Bird - R. Parish, C. Maxwell, K. McHale, D. Johnson, T. Archibald (All HOF)
Don’t tell me those teams they played with ain’t stacked.
You’ll be shocked on how stacked those teams were with Bill, Magic, Bird, Wilt and they still gets their Top 10 ranking while Kobe won back to back with only one allstar and good role players in a stacked Western Conference with a legit superteam to beat.
Nephews always look at the efficiency but the 2000s is the slowest and least efficient era in the modern ages due to the removal of illegal defense and midrange heavy era.
In fact, check any superstar guards efficiency in that era and look how efficient Kobe vs them
Clowns in this thread couldn’t even accept the fact that their top 10 players have superteams while Kobe’s back to back run, only Gasol, Fisher and Ariza played significant roles afterwards while everyone else are out of the league (Artest did played but not with a contending team)
