I know Weber and others will think I'm just trolling but if you swap Kobe in place of LBJ for all of LBJs final appearances I think Kobe has at least the 2 titles James has. Maybe more. However, swap LBJ into the Finals appearances Kobe has been in and I'm very skeptical LBJ has 5. I think he likely would have won from '00-02 with Shaq but doubt he gets two more.
I wish it were trolling. Lebron probably wins more than 3 titles with Shaq and very likely coexists with him much better and therfore longer. I also don't see any reason to think he wins less with those later Lakers teams. Kobe had a much better supporting cast than LeBron at that same time. Kobe wouldn't have had that Cavs team even in contention.
