In reponse to a post, here's what I got to say...

Bill Simmons is the best NBA ESPN writer. Witty and well said articles each time.

As for Wade surpassing Kobe, he’s got a chance. But this thing is almost too much dependent on the GM of their respective teams. After Shaq, this season Kobe somewhat shows he can lead the L.A. to championships in 2 to 3 years. The LA was one shot away from advancing to the Semis. (Both the Clippers and Mavericks are beatable, Lakers has chance with those teams.) And so, after Shaq is done in 2 or 3 years time, it will be all up to who’s supporting Wade by that time. Comparing players is tough business really. But for the sake of giving an answer, I still give Kobe the upperhand in this duel.

But Wade has had a little help from his friends in this one. Do not be swayed to much.

Wade was lucky to have a Pat Riley doing the GM and coaching thing.

Wade was lucky having Bulls in the 1st round (Kobe had the Phoenix. Baby!).

Wade was lucky having New Jersey in the 2nd round.

Wade was lucky Detroit imploded.

Wade was lucky Avery Johnson had some tactical errors in that Finals (not doubling teaming Wade a lot, not playing Daniels a lot, letting Dirk inbound a play on a must scored hoop, etc.).

Wade was lucky Payton still has gas left unleashing to important baskets in 2 separate games.

Wade was lucky Zo was probably fighting his last fight in Game 6.

Wade was lucky Dirk, I think, was playing with some nerves, Game 3 and onwards. Keeps on rushing his shots.

Wade was lucky to get oh so many fouls shots in the series (virtually Untouchable, therefore do not compare Wade to Corleone, compare him to either Elliot Ness or Al Capone, choose.)

Lucky guys take home championships.

Now, Ill be reading Simmons…
