I finished reading the Kobe Haters article and I had an instant thought. If you put Kobe on ANY team, are they title contenders?

**USING LAST YEARS ROSTERS**

List of teams he makes instant title contenders:
Boston Celtics (That would never happy though LOL)
Philadelphia 76ers
Toronto Raptors
Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers (Maybe. Bryant, Granger, Hibbert, Murphy?)
Milwaukee Bucks
Atlanta Hawks
Charlotte Bobcats
New York Knicks
Miami Heat
Orlando Magic
Washington Wizards (Had Arenas stayed healthy)
Dallas Mavericks
Houston Rockets (Even without Yao)
Memphis Grizzlies
New Orleans Hornets (Had CP3 stayed healthy)
San Antonio Spurs
Los Angeles Clippers
Phoenix Suns
Sacramento Kings
Denver Nuggets
OKC Thunder
Portland Trailblazers
Utah Jazz

Teams he wouldn’t make instant title contenders:
Nets
Warriors
Timberwolves
(Arguably the 3 worst teams in the L)

The man is that damn good, and I’m no where near a Kobe lover or a Kobe hater.

Kobe is also good at raping women.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I doubt he raped her. They did have an intimate night, but most of these athletes do have those with random girls they meet that night. And her knowing he’s Kobe Bryant, decided to throw this at him to try to get some cash.

if you think Kobe would’ve made the Kings a contender, than he would definitely have made the T’Wolves a contender..

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

I don’t think their bench is good enough.

Kings bench: Beno Udrih (Tyreke at PG, KB at SG), Casspi, Nocioni, Thompson, Garcia, Rodriguez

I think the Kings bench is better than Minny.

Minny: Darko, Sessions, Ellington, Gomes, Hollins, Wilkins

I think Kobe could win a championship with any team besides the Warriors, purely for the fact their 2 best players are guards and their bigmen aren’t great.

[Tongue-Out-Like-23Participant]

The Warriors could be a playoff team, maybe a Monta Ellis trade for Kevin Love some players to match contracts. Biedrins is a defensive center and Love is a vicious rebounder who spreads the floor on the offensive end.

[bobforteParticipant]

he’s a great player but in no way does he make some of those teams title contenders. They barely won with the stacked lineup they had. Pistons and Pacers is not happening, knicks and wizards are a no, bucks, hawks, and bobcats possibly but i still think they would loose to orlando, cleveland, or boston. But the western conference teams yeah championship caliber.

Kobe doesn’t make every team a title contender, there is a diff. between making the playoffs and being a title contender.
He’s not a PG, yeah he can dish but is not his strength and he doesn’t guard the opposing teams best offensive perimeter player much. Also Kobe doesn’t help you block shots, guard big men etc.

Warriors no becaz they have no bigs last in rebounding and point allowed hey would score like 130 a game w/Kobe.
Heat he would be moved to Sf or Wade to PG and they would rack up a lot of pts but the bigs are weak still.
76ers him and Iggy would make a nice duo but who is the PG, PF, C to match up against elite teams.
Knicks this one is too easy, still no PG, no shot blocking and the defense.
PIstons 2nd to last in scoring they would have Rip, Gordon, Kobe a very guard team they wouldn’t be
Bucks with Bogut healthy yes they would becaz Jennings, Kobe, Salmons, Kurt Thomas and Bogut are a solid 5 and the bench played very well for Skiles.
Kings he’s the same position as Evans and they are too young and inexperienced.
Wizards only if they kept Haywood and Jamison or Butler.
Clippers no for last year but yes for this year if Griffin is healthy, Kobe with Baron Davis might not work.

Only 1 team I’d be on the fence about that the Raptors as they had some bigs who can score but the team played very lil D. Calderon, Kobe, Turkoglu, Bosh, Bargnani still a weak team on D. A playoff team yes but probly out in the 2nd round.
Twolves no their defense is 2nd to last, the team is too young and no real inside presence, team would double Kobe and who else is going to beat you.
Nets no, who was their Sf,PF though Kobe would make them competitive since they can’t score much.
Rockets I would say no unless they had some more bigs 1-4 no problems but at the 5 spot Chuck Hayes or that Aussie.

The 1 team that would benefit most from Kobe would probly be the Magic they’d probly win the title with him, it would take a lot of pressure off Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard as they wouldn’t have to score much.

Suns and Celtics obviously were title contenders without him even.
