:aicmon: yall know what i meant.

kobe was made for ABC....he got booed in philly during the all-star game because people wasn't feelin' him on a personal level. Kobe was a product of ESPN/ABC manufacturing until he met that white girl and then Bron took that spot that Kobe had previously taken from Penny hardaway and grant hill once they knees blew out.

Once shaq left kobe played harder. I mean...young sab still gets A.I. respect and he plays with durant. Kobe didn't have the love of the people until 9-10yrs into his career.

:aicmon:

Pretty much...

Back in the day, Kobe had the clean cut good image, AI was the thug.

After the rape case, Kobe was the pariah & Bron became the golden boy.

After "The Decision", Bron got to know how it felt to be Kobe & AI :sadbron: while Rose & Durant became the new humble kids ESPN prepped up.

Cacs been building them up & tearing up them down since 1996 :smugdraper:

At some point, you guys have to get over your love for AI growing up in the hood and his overall demeanor and view things from a basketball standpoint. Kobe was better than AI from 01 until AI retired. You can post random moments of him being hot, but AI is not better than Kobe Bean Bryant at anything but handles. Averaging more assists doesn't make you a better passer. 85% of AI's assists were when he was trapped and forced to pass the ball. Even the clip just show of his 51 point game against LA shows that in many instances.

How come Rondo gets praised for his steals and A.I's steals get downplayed?
I never really understood that. Can someone enlighten me?

Its mostly nice guys who don't get puzzy who blames thugs:laff:

nikkas need to stop with this chuck theory u can just get a good defensive team and throw any nikka willing to chuck a ball into the game and you'll go to the nba finals lol....taking a team of bums to the finals we call that the bubba chuck theory:russ: if AI ain't make his teamates better what happened to all those nikkas after they left the 76ers?

Why can't nikkas admit Iverson wuz a better player than Kobe til Shaq left? He got to be the man on his team and Kobe couldn't be bcuz he had Shaq....its not a knock on Kobe....ask Kobe if he would trade playing wit Shaq to be the man on the sixers....he wouldn't have titles....Iverson and Shaq on the same team woulda got 3 titles too and u a fool if u believe otherwise....circumstances and legacys could've been completely different had these two switched paths..


And how y'all sayin the east sucked? they just didn't have the Bulls to make them look credible anymore....east wuz wack when the bulls ran thru it every year:laff:

Iverson wuz the man til mid 2000's then Kobe took the crown and ran with it....even Kobe don't believe he wuz better than AI his entire career as he said he "surpassed" them which is absolute truth....he surpassed all of em....but in they primes:manny: they basically the same player who score differently....both nikkas who go hot and go cold at times....might miss ten shots first quarter and go on a tear the next 3....but regardless they trust they bad shots more then the good shots of they other lesser teamates.....and in iversons case early in his career rightfully so just like kobes 06 season....I still remember both my nikkas goin to war with Scottie and Mike makin me proud:to:

Kobes the better player Iverson just played like nobody I've ever seen play so wuz more exciting to watch....Kobe is in the jordan prototype with better handles then Jordan....and did sumbody really say Kobe had better handles then Iverson :laff: he had sum underated handles that I wish he used more in game but:aicmon: nobody could handle the ball as fast and accurately like it wuz part of his body like ai....kobe got 5 rings...we can't give my nikka AI his credit and say he had his time?Kobe got the legacy,the rings,the media and the league,what else u need?..

What did Iverson do better than Kobe? :what:

Was he a better shooter?

Better post player?

Better rebounder?

Better defender?

Better slasher?

Better finisher?

Was he a better scorer?

Was he a better playmaker?

:wtf:

He want to far off as a shooter. And he was a better finisher (come on prime A.I. could get to the rim at well) and slasher. He was just as explosive as scorer (hence three scoring titles to one). And both of them basically created plays for themselves, so yeah Iverson was just as good as playmaker.

Allen, we talking about allen, not MJ or bron, we talking about allen.

I loved the nikka circa 97-01 like the most but to compare him with the gawd is blasphemous.


allen should be compared to Vince Carter, T-mac, & Steve Francis. The nikkas that had a few hot years and fell the fukk off.

Buncha ESPN ass nikkas in here and it's disgusting. Y'all really in here just repeating shyt with little understanding.

AI WAS THE SIXERS OFFENSE. You know without a doubt he's getting the ball. He doesn't have a legitimate second offensive threat except Aaron Mckie. So he's 5'10 the main source of offense u know he's getting double with NO RELIEF besides relying on scoring in transition and Aaron Mckie. All that and he still manages to score and get wins. And was usually top 10 in assist so miss me with the selfish talk. ai had to chuck .Especially when u have kobe who we just witnessed chuck bad three after bad three up when he actually has better teammates than ai ever had save for Melo. Even with all that Y'all acting like it's this no brainer And ppl are bugging saying ai is better. You put Ai on that Lakers team and the shyt woulda been unfair.
