this list is NOT about skill. this list is about the ability to LEAD a team to a championship. bird did it three times. kobe did it five times. who was the better leader? there's no point comparing who has better skill. it's impossible to know that. what we can know is the number of rings that someone has. |
The only reason Kobe has more titles then Bird is because of Shaq. Shaq was the main man in the first three titles Kobe got. Shaq won three finals MVP's with the Lakers proving he was the main force behind three of the Lakers five titles in the last decade. So without him Kobe would at best be tied with Bird in the number of titles. Not to mention that Kobe had a much better coach then Bird to help him win those five championships. I don't even know who coached Bird to those three titles but I'm sure it was more then one coach.
