Kobe Bryant is still the King of Los Angeles - LeBron's Arrival cannot change it

# 5 The Three Peat

Unlike Kareem and Magic, Kobe was a member of the Lakers team that 3 titles in 3 years between 2000 and 2002. That Lakers team was the only the 5th team in NBA history to accomplish this milestone.

Alongside Shaq, the 2001 Lakers were an NBA dynasty. Kobe was instrumental in bringing those 3 Titles to LA. Since then, not a single team has managed to win 3 titles in a row. Nobody can deny Kobe's contribution in bringing 3 back to back titles to LA after a drought of almost 12 years.

LeBron can team up with the likes of Kawhi Leonard and other superstars to make the Lakers great again but it would be hard to replicate Kobe and Shaqs historic run at the beginning of the millennium. Kobe Bryant a 3 Peat for LeBrons 3 Rings.
