What if LeBron and Kobe Played Together?

if Lebron James and Kobe Bryant played on the same team how many championships could the two win together today we're going to find out as we're taking rookie Kobe and sending him to the 2004 season to pair up with rookie LeBron on the Cleveland Cavaliers and as a result you're about to witness NBA history as you know it changed dramatically cuz in their first season together the two had proved to be a perfect fit for each other's games as LeBron's Elite passing would set the table for Kobe to score bucket after bucket but while the two are really good and seem to be future Champions there's one major question that has to be answered who's actually better well in order to find the answer we're going to be counting up both Kobe and LeBron's MVP awards and finals MVP awards in order to make that decision at the very end and while we're on the topic the very end just so happens to be the modern day where both players will fittingly close it out as members of the Los Angeles Lakers but that's a really long time from now let's just keep our focus on Kobe and LeBron's second season together and let's see if they can actually get something done starting off with LeBron who's averaging a solid 18 points per game and a more than solid eight assists per game already putting him close to the top of the league with the main person benefiting from that being none other than Kobe Bryant who's already averaging 23 points night in and night out and as a result the Cavs would finish with 49 wins as the third seed in the Eastern Conference the only thing missing for the two would be an MVP award as it's heading out to Minnesota instead but one of the two can still walk away with some Hardware if they manage to bring Cleveland a title so with all that being said the two would start their first playoff run by defeating Miami Orlando and Detroit three teams who in real life would have given the Cav serious issues but in this universe with the two together they would get it done and move on to the finals against the Houston Rockets without a doubt being their toughest opponent to date LeBron and Kobe are up against T-Mac and yaoi kind of awkward matchup we'll see if they can get it done and to keep it short that's exactly what they did as they would take care of them in six games closing it out in front of the Cleveland faithful to bring a title to the city after only two seasons of LeBron and Kobe's teammates while the two are celebrating it now brings up a very important question who's the finals MVP cuz LeBron averaged 19 points and 8 assists for the finals along with seven boards which is a more than respectable stat line but Kobe was Far and Away the go-to option as he would bump up his scoring to 27 per game each are deserving of the award but only ones walking away with the trophy and in most cases it usually goes to the top scorer of the team which makes it even more surprising that LeBron would be the one receiving the trophy from David Stern resulting in him striking first in our race to find out who's the better player so with that we're now moving on to season number three of LeBron and Kobe's 21-year Journey giving them plenty of time to rack up the awards but for now let's keep our focus on the two as they try to repeat his Champion starting with Kobe leading the way as the go-to scorer with 28 points per game LeBron struck first but don't count him out just yet oh Kobe for human life and of course we can't forget about LeBron fresh off his finals MVP who's good for plenty of highlights of his own Cavaliers lead and a foul ultimately leading to the Cavs narrowly finishing as the three seed in the East and while none of them are bringing home the MVP with it going to Shack in Miami instead the two have set themselves up to defend their title in the postseason and while in the future the Eastern Conference will see another Super team come to form at this very moment it's completely ran by LBJ and Kobe who are making it to finals number two and only season 3 now being up against a even tougher opponent than last season the San Antonio Spurs and that would definitely show as while last year was was a relatively easy victory for the Cavs the Spurs led by Tim Duncan would put up a much better fight as they would go bucket for bucket with LeBron and Kobe tying the series at three AP piece now heading back to Cleveland for one last series defining game LeBron and Kobe second finals but their first game seven and they're up against a team with like five 7even 8 9 10 Hall of Famers and those Hall of Famers would put in work in game seven especially Tim Duncan who's one of the few players who can get close to the level of both Kobe and LeBron WR and without a doubt it's the most important game the two have played to dat but in the end those two would have the ultimate Advantage as they would be playing in front of their Hometown fans taking the lead and eventually winning their second title and as far as the finals MVP goes it would once again be going to LeBron now giving him two in only their third season which ultimately means that it's not really looking too good for Kobe right now and in case you didn't know there's only a few more seasons until both LeBron and Kobe leave Cleveland in favor for another team in a much warmer City but to focus back on the 2007 season while LeBron would average 20 points and 10 assists it would be Kobe stealing the show averaging 30 leading the entire league in scoring but while the two are really good they might be too good as their stat lines might be eating into each other's MVP chances as it's heading down to one of their future teammates we're already in season 4 nobody's even sniffed in so once again the two can only bring home the finals MVP if they can successfully threee and as far as that goes they would get off to a good start as the first two rounds were no issue but what was a challenge would be the Conference Finals up against the Miami Heat featuring the MVP dwade and eventually while it would be a hardfought battle and the Cavs would come out on top you have to wonder what would happen if three players that good actually joined forces before we find out the answer to that that means that the Cavs are heading to their third straight finals up against the Los Angeles Clippers featuring Chris Cayman and his terrible haircut which would wind up being a easy victory for the Cavs winning in five games to make history and officially complete the threee and while the two are both worthy of bringing home the finals MVP it would finally be going to Kobe who's getting on the board adding the first trophy to his case now making the race 2 to one ultimately bringing him closer to LeBron don't count Kobe out just yet you would be very dumb to do so so now with three straight titles under their belt you have to wonder if the two can win four in a row it hasn't been done since the six with the Bill Russell LED Celtics but both LeBron and Kobe who's now sporting a new cut definitely have a shot to do so but at this point unsurprisingly while the two are dominating yet again leading the Cavs to a 65 win season the MVP is heading back to Miami and falling in the hands of their future teammate once again it's safe to say both at this point are destroying each other's chances at the award but at the same time though if it's going to be so rare it might make it more valuable in the end either way to keep the playoffs short the two would find themselves back in the finals this time heading to Phoenix to challenge someone who won multiple MVPs in our universe that being Steve Nash and while he's extremely good and surrounded by other great players who definitely have normal shooting forms it wouldn't be enough LeBron and Kobe are way too good at this point especially Kobe who's averaging 36 in the finals which ultimately is enough to overshadow LeBron and win yet another funnels MVP to tie him up right back in this race we have a two to2 timee and while the two have rattled off a historic for straight titles what if I told you it might get even better cuz in the next few seasons both LeBron and Kobe will be forming possibly the best team ever out in Miami along with dwade and Chris Bosch and once that era is over they'll be heading back to Cleveland to team up with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love and of course they'll be rounding it out in Los Angeles with Anthony Davis to close out their careers if they're this accomplished by themselves who knows how many championships they'll end with after playing with all of those stars but for now they'd find themselves in some serious trouble as the Boston Celtics have assembled three Hall of Famers to create a super team specifically designed to stop them as they would meet up in the playoffs and eventually go up 3 to one over the Cavs and the five P might be cooked and unfortunately the series would be a quick one as it's ending right then and there as they would demolish the duo in Cleveland no less setting up the two to be eliminated for the first time in half a decade Kobe driving to the basket Kobe with the slam to cut the lead down to 17 and of course there's no time left to make that comeback so with that their momentum has come to a screeching halt now being eliminated in the second round after previously winning four straight titles it's a disappointing ending for the two especially considering the fact that the 2010 season would be the last of the two as members of the Cavs for the foreseeable future the only Silver Lining is that we're finally going to see someone win the MVP that being LeBron James who's reclaiming some of the momentum after Kobe stole the show earlier it took him Seven Seasons which is a really long time but he's the first person between him and Kobe to win the MVP but in the end it would be for nothing as for a second time theour struggling to take down the Boston big three cuz while they would take it to seven games they'd wind up losing again and while the two have achieved a lot in only seven seasons together including a foreat earlier right now the two are departing at the hands of the Celtics similar to real life with that being said though while the two have been defeated by a super team it's not just LeBron making the decision to leave the Cavs but also Kobe as the two are taking their talents to South Beach to pair up with two more Hall of Famers in dwade and Chris Bosch and while one day there might be a team that can surpass the level of Talent on this one for now it's without a doubt the greatest team the league has ever seen as already in their first season together the four stars are winning 70 games really the only downside is that amongst the four Stars the stats are too spread out LeBron's down to 20 points per game and Kobe's down to 26 which pretty much kills our MVP chances so while to this point NBA history looks completely different from what we know it as the 2011 MVP would be a repeat of real life as it's Landing in the hands of Derrick Rose out in Chicago but at the end of the day I'm not sure that LeBron or Kobe really care as ultimately they would make it back to the finals this time heading down to New Orleans with their star being just Chris Paul and while he's an MVP caliber player himself there's just way too much Firepower on the other side the four stars on Miami have immediately built chemistry and as a result they're walking away with the title the only question is between LeBron or Kobe who's winning the first Finals MVP on the new Squad well it turns out it would be Kobi who's the leading score of the team now winning his third straight Finals MVP taking the lead away from LeBron giving the two five Collective titles already eight seasons in too so that's they're making extremely good pace and that really really good Pace seems like it'll continue for a while as while last year was really good the 2012 season might be even better as Chris Bosch waywayne Wade LeBron James and the reigning finals MVP Kobe Bryant will hit yet another level jumping from 70 wins the season before all the way up to 73 setting a new league record but again while the two stars are doing their thing the MVP is going elsewhere meaning that yet again the two will have to go all the way with a title to add to their trophy cases however to this point while they've seemed Untouchable they would be in for a rude awakening in the second round as the New York Knicks of all teams would be giving the Miami big Force some serious issues led by Carmelo Anthony and Jeremy Lynn who's still Insanity form shockingly enough the series is going to game seven despite Miami being the massive favorite and if LeBron Kobe and the rest of the heat walk away empty-handed losing to a franchise notoriously known for usually being terrible it'll sting even more so with all that being said a very very unlikely game seven would tip off with the only Silver Lining being that it's played in Miami and while it would remain close the entire time eventually only one can come out on top as Melo and Jeremy Lyn are putting up a serious fight to where it's only a one-point lead for Miami with only 40 seconds left the heat do have the ball and the lead here but it's far from over and it's only fitting considering we're trying to find out who's better that both LeBron and Kobe's clutch will be put to the test here we go who's going to seal it dwade to the basket dwade doing absolutely nothing with it the pass over to Kobe here we go 8 seconds over to LeBron in the corner running out of breath he missed the shot New York still with a Chance Jr with the ball Jr throws it Forward spin move on Kobe driving Kobe forces him to pick up the ball Carmelo to the basket Carmelo wild layup it's off it's off it's off it's off and now with only 21 seconds left it wouldn't be either of those two players heading to the line with a chance to seal the game instead it's D Wade one of Miami's most beloved players and someone we saw win multiple MVPs earlier but as far as free throws go he might not be the best choice as he's about to shoot two with the game on the line oh my God all right here we go here we go we're about to we're about to watch somebody's about to hit a gamewinner on New York here we go dwade second free throw it's good and now we only have a two-point lead with 21 left game s 21 seconds left it's coming down to the final possession Melo with the ball Melo driving to the basket on LeBron the pass down oh my God Chris Bosch fell asleep here we go no timeouts left for the heat KOB with the ball game seven tie game the series and the season is in the hands of Kobe or maybe even LeBron but probably Kobe cuz he's not passing it here we go 5 seconds left Kobe with the spin Kobe with the step back pump fake oh my god Kobe with the shot and with that the Miami Heat are moving on to the next round as Kobe was able to successfully take matters into his own hands to win the game capping off one of the best game seven performances in NBA history oh my God bro I didn't even read realize this but the simulation bro Kobe had 57 despite a slow start it seems like Kobe has seized both the Cavs and heat from LeBron and if the competition ended right now we could easily crown him as the better player it's extremely impressive considering LeBron won the first two finals MVPs earlier but Kobe's come all the way back he would have been extremely crazy to count him out earlier and also equally as crazy to count LeBron out now while Kobe just had his moment and one of the last three finals MVPs it would be LeBron taking charge in the finals against OKC leading them to title number six and his third Finals MVP to time up with Kobe it's been a while LeBron but he's raising up the trophy doing the same pose we've seen from every other Trophy ceremony shout out to 2K and that momentum that he sees back from Kobe would continue into the following 2013 season as the heat would find themselves back in the finals trying to threee and while the Memphis Grizzlies are a really good team to keep it short it would be a relatively easy victory for the heat as at this point they're taking over the entire league and the one leading the way would be LeBron who's winning Finals MVP number four quickly turning the tide back in his favor with the two now out of collective seven titles at this point who knows how many they're going to win by the time we hit the modern day and with the two now repeating for a second time let's see if they can bring home a fourth consecutive title in the Duo's final season with the Miami Heat there's a young star waiting for their arrival in Cleveland along with another in Minnesota who will make his way over there as well but keep the focus back on our two MVP caliber players none of them would be winning the awards so while their time in Miami was extremely successful it's not really the best situation for them to win that specific award but what it is ideal for would be the playoffs since at this point they're almost guaranteed to make it to the finals and while they're up against OKC featuring Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook they're pretty much guaranteed to win most stars have gone back and forth throughout these last few years and their competition is far from finished but with LeBron taking the last two finals MVPs there's no way Kobe will let him win a third as he's upping his scoring once again to bring home the award meaning that as the two depart Miami we have a 4 to four tie he averaged 30 points per game in the finals and he also did a bunch of other stuff he's shooting 60% he is insane and with that the two would be saying goodbye to Miami and making their long awaited return back to the land Dawning the wine and gold Unis once again the main difference though would be their new homegrown star Kyrie Irving who of course is good for electrifying play after electrifying play as well as the elite shooting and rebounding of Kevin Love but there are some key differences between the two and a player like dwade for example that'll definitely influence LeBron and Kobe's competition mainly due to the fact that both are much younger and haven't won anything yet as we saw earlier d-wade's a former MVP but in comparison Kyrie and love are completely unproven which gives the two vets more leeway as far as control controlling the offense especially Kobe who's moving up from the mid 20s and scoring to average a career-high 33 per game to finally win his first regular season MVP after over a decade in the league he is shooting almost 60% from the field for an entire season probably the greatest score of all time at this point and after two combined MVPs and Eight titles in their 12 Seasons you got to think that another trophy is on the way for the two but if you thought it was going to be that simple you'd be completely wrong as they would run into a buding super team in the bay for the finals of course led by the shooting of Steph Curry which would be enough to cut their run short as he would rattle off not one not two not three but four straight games to shockingly end LeBron and Kobe's historic run does that mean Steph's the goat is he better than the both of them and for the 2016 season while the Warriors would continue where they left off in the finals dominating the regular season the Cavs would struggle again come playoff time while the Miami team earlier built chemistry right away and were ready to win championships right away it seems like the weird mix between the veteran Kobe and LeBron and the young Kevin Love and Kyrie might be working against them as they're running into the Joel and beadless Sixers would force a series to seven games and I think you know where I'm going with this one cuz the Cavs are being sent home Philly does something in every single video and with the Warriors going all the way to win the title for a second straight time and not stopping there by adding Kevin Durant the off season completing possibly the greatest team the sport has ever seen you got to wonder can LeBron and Kobe bounce back cuz for the first time the two are officially underdogs it's unfamiliar territory for the two usually they'd be penciled in as the favorites but now that's just not the case cuz while they take care of the regular season with 65 wins to make it back to the finals if they couldn't beat the Warriors without KD how can anyone expect them to take them down now the Golden State Warriors is will hold on and knock off the C well when you have the Black Mamba and King James on the same Squad you have a chance as they take not one not two not three but four straight games to sweep the Warriors and while Katie at first seemed like a massive upgrade for the team and a shocking turn of events he might have made them worse cuz in the end he couldn't guard LeBron who would average 239 and 10 winning the finals MVP in front of his hometown fans now being his fifth NBA history has been changed Cleveland this is for you he's averaging almost a triple double and with that we're now entering the final season for the duo in Cleveland on a higho and this time they're leaving for real cuz after this they're heading out west to LA to close it out I would be lying though if I said that this season would get off to a hot start as Kyrie would be leaving the team in favor of the Celtics in order to try to lead his own Squad so as a result there's plenty of new faces on the Cavs which in real life led to a finals loss for them in Lebron but now with Kobe on his side and still in his prime as well there's a chance history could change again as he's averaging 296 and six to go with LeBron's 249 and9 helping the Cavs win 61 games helping the Cavs storm through the east in the playoffs and helping the Cavs destroy the Warriors yet again the first two years in their return to Cleveland were rough they couldn't get over the hump they were losing to Philly they lost to Golden State but now in the final two ironically since Katie joined the Warriors they were able to turn the top as the two are now seconds away from Championship number 10 and it seems like the Warriors super team aren't really going to be that much of a super team cuz LeBron and Kobe have taken them down twice and in the end it would be LeBron winning Finals MVP number six the two haven't won many of the regular season award but they're getting it done when it matters the most and with that they're now officially leaving Cleveland on a high note I don't know how many championships they won here but it's a lot and to answer that question six of their 10 titles are with them as members of the C ABS but that era is now over as they're heading to LA to close out their time in the league as members of the Lakers but in the words of Kobe the job's not finished cuz the Laker team that they're joining is way behind the Miami and even Cleveland teams they've just been on cuz to put it bluntly at the moment the roster kind of a meme team so while the Lakers would make the playoffs it wouldn't last that long so we're now moving on to the 2020 season where the team's finally starting to take form it all starts with the acquisition of Anthony Davis who at times looks like he can be an MVP but as the third best player on the team he's free to play without pressure and as a result he perfectly compliments both LeBron and Kobe's games and while in real life LeBron led the league in assist he'd do the same here with 11 per game to go along with 24 points while Kobe's finishing decimal points away from 30 per game but once again as a result with two players this good on the same team it's really difficult to win the MVPs considering a player like Russell Westbrook is now in his prime averaging a triple double so while LeBron and Kobe's sat lines are good they're still tied at one a piece for the regular season award I have a bad feeling about this one I think it might come down to what they do in the finals and that would shortly prove to be a solid prediction as the 2020 finals would be taking place in Orlando just as it did in real life only this time it's the actual Orlando Magic team and not the bubble and while I mean no disrespect to Evan forier and Terren Ross put it nicely they can't really hang with the duo of LeBron R and Kobe as well as a and while I like to have this be a super close series that would go down to the wire this finals was far from that as it wouldn't last long as the Lakers are winning with Kobe and LeBron tying up Bill Russell with title number 11 but what will be a super close series is the finals MVP race as Kobe who's bumping his scoring up yet again on crazy efficiency is now back to winning the finals MVP now at five compared to LeBron 6 it's been a while since we've seen him raise the trophy Miami to be specific but he's making it close with only a few more seasons to go and he almost shot 70% that is probably the best 5game stretch ever and that would be the official start of LeBron and Kobe's potential final Dynasty with only 4 years left to go and while the two are definitely getting old with thousands of games played between the two it wouldn't stop them in their pursuit of Championship number 12 as they're once again making it back to the finals this time against Miami to not only challenge the former team but also take care of them easily sending Jimmy Butler into his emo phase ending off with LeBron bouncing back by winning the finals MVP now making it number seven but you would once again be out of line to count Kobe out cuz the 2022 season would now be in his favor as former MVP Russell Westbrook would be joining the team and while he's got some flaws as a player and isn't really a perfect fit for the team the one thing that you can definitely count on him for is to elevate Elite scoring talent to another level with his passing which directly helps out Kobe the most most and while it didn't result in him winning a regular season MVP with it eventually going to Giannis instead the two are returning to yet another finals this time against Brooklyn Kobe now leading the way this time to win championship number 13 and his sixth finals MVP and his takeover is not ending there as something about playing in La for one of the League's most prestigious franchises makes it a perfect fit for him in his game cuz the 2023 season would see him stand alone as the greatest score of the league has ever seen in history and on top of that he would lead the Lakers back to the finals again this time against Philly a team that eliminated both he and LeBron back when they were both in Cleveland but years later the duo would get the revenge on Kobe's Hometown team and it's only fitting considering the fact that he broke the scoring record earlier that he would be the one to lead the Lakers to the championship and ultimately tie up LeBron 7 to7 with only one season left the Duo's 21-year journey is now coming to its conclusion and not only are we one step closer to finding out who's better but we're also one step closer to finding out who's the greatest of all time can the Mamba mentality bring Kobe a three repeat on finals MVPs to walk away with a comeback win or will King James take over as he's done before to secure the crown one of those questions is about to be answered in the 2024 season player bets now on who's going to win cuz it's starting off with LeBron averaging 247 and 8 while Kobe's averaging 296 and 5 two MVP caliber stat lines that are yet again falling short as the MVP is going to yic who's averaging a triple double locking us into a one toone tie on the regular season MVP it's really strange that the both of them have only combined for two this entire time but It ultimately means that if one of them can bring home one last finals MVP it'll be the most valuable of all so after finishing as a two seed and breezing past the first three rounds the two are now back in the finals for a a classic Showdown with the Boston Celtics who have added two former All Star to their squad along with Jaylen Brown and of course Jason Tatum which explains why the series would be the most difficult one that LeBron and Kobe have played for a while as it would eventually be heading to game seven the two are now at risk of losing for the first time in a while but before we find out what happens next we have to go back in time almost two decades to LeBron and Kobe's thirdd season where the two had to play a game seven at home against the San anonio Spurs eventually ending with their second Championship I mentioned this to say that the situation they're currently in now is extremely familiar as both games are played at home led by a dominant showing from both stares now giving LeBron and Kobe 15 and total both have come an extremely long way from the two unproven rookies we saw in the Cavs and throughout the last two decades we've seen highlight after highlight as they made their way from Team to team but in the end only one can break the Tie by winning the finals MVP and after 21 years and 15 titles the one walking away with the award to come out on top just so happens to be completely up to you
