Barkley Says LeBron Not Up There With Jordan and Kobe

[staticshock]

I’ve had lebron over Kobe since before Kobe was even in his last 2 seasons.

Bron was better than Kobe from 07 till he retired

Bron was better than Kobe from 07 till he retired

I mean I see it. Like Kobe was no longer even in that conversation. I don’t like to do The Who is the goat thing but I have lebron solidly in my top 5. I can’t say the same for Kobe.

Do you nikkas really think actually basketball players have discussions about Mike and Bron and Kobe never crosses their minds?

None of these things mean he was better than Lebron.

Lebron most likely doesn't see that many Finals playing the Eastern Conference teams during the Jordan era. What I said earlier, when faced with real competition 4-6. The Eastern Conference was easy for Lebron, it was a weak conference. Any Bron stans actually disagree with that?

This is all relative to the era he played in honestly, how many finals Jordan seeing if he played in the 80's against Dr. J/Moses 76er's, Bird Celtics, Isiah's Pistons even them 80's Bucks team were nice. In the 90's Jordan's teams were stacked compared to everyone else, Pippen/Grant was better than every other nikkas 2nd/ 3rd options. BJ Armstrong use get bucket's too and that's just on the first 3 peat squad.

The NBA as a whole was weak in the 1990s . NBA added 6 teams during Jordan's championship window

How can Jordan stans talk about a weak conference when the NBA was adding teams in the middle of Jordan's prime. In a league where barely any teams had two all-stars, the Bulls had two top 10 players for the duration of their prime and a bunch of solid role players. Went from Horace Grant and BJ Armstrong to Toni Kukoc and Dennis Rodman. The Bulls won 60 games in the season Jordan was playing baseball with a dude from the Italian league replacing him. In terms of talent, the 1990s were arguably the worst era in NBA history.

Grant good player, Rodman good player. They weren't all-stars tho when playing on the Bulls.

And again, the Eastern Conference was a much tougher road during Jordan's years than Lebron's

Horace grant also drafted by the Bulls and built with MJ. Mike didn’t handpick none of these nikkas he turned them into legends

So we counting Eddie Jones and NVE when Kobe was a teenagerthose are Shaqs nikkas.

Shaq, pay, Dwight, Bynum are the legit ones to attribute to Kobe

Kobe didn't play bad against Dallas. Pau did.

Kobe: 23-3-3 on 45% shooting (23% from 3pt)
Terry: 20-2-4 on 58% shooting (68% from 3pt)

In the elimination game Kobe had 17-3-1 on 7-18 while giving up 32-1-4 on 11-14 to Terry.


Saying Bron's 40-8-8 on 50% shooting against the Magic was a failure but that Kobe 23-3-3 getting washed wasn't bad.

2000 finals Kobe was winning the games.

Yet another guy who only knows narratives. Outside of 2 minutes at the end of Game 4, Kobe was ASS in every one of those games.


Game 1: Shaq had 43 while Kobe had just 14. Lakers were up just 6 going into the 4th, Kobe didn't even make a shot in the 4th while Shaq dominated and Fox added 9 to pull away for the win.

Game 2: Shaq had 40 while Kobe had just 2 before leaving with an injury in the 2nd quarter. Lakers won anyway behind 21 each from Glen Rice and Harper.

Game 3: Kobe didn't play

Game 4: In regulation Kobe (20 points on 22 shots) was dominated by Reggie Miller (33 points on 17 shots), but Shaq had 36 points including 14 in the 4th to get the Lakers to overtime. Kobe had that great overtime with those 2 big jumpers after Shaq fouled out with 2 minutes left, but Lakers were already up 3 when that happened and never trailed in overtime anyway.

Game 5: Kobe shot 4-20 for just 8 points and Lakers got blown out despite 35 from Shaq.

Game 6: Shaq has 41 on 19-32 to clinch the series, while Kobe had just 26 on 8-27 shooting. Lakers were down 5 going into the 4th, Shaq went 6-6 in the 4th while Kobe was ASS shooting just 1-7. Horry/Fisher/Fox came through with clutch 3s to secure the win.



Kobe was 3-15 COMBINED in the 4th quarters of that series and you wanted to claim he was winning the games.

They were either All-Stars or not, it's not a debate. Were they All-Stars?

 

[Don Homer]

Mo was dropping 17 PPG on a team that won 26 games before he joined Lebron Lebron won 66 games with a cat who was a second option on a 26 win team. Come on breh, what are we even discussing

Illgauskas was damn near 40 when he went to Miami and was an all-star when Lebron was 20


You can't even name some of the cats on this team. I'll put it to you this way, Steph would have missed the playoffs with this team too

Bringing up Steph outta nowhere, I know u mad!

how a nikka win 66 games and 61 games and talking about he needs more help?

nikka please

that nikka was dancing and showboating on the court that 66-win season, but now it’s not enough since he lost.

Good thing Jordan didn't hand pick none of them nikkas or he might have Zero rings, My nikka Ewing 2nd best player was John Starks all them years . Bron had to dip on Cle, him and Mo William's not beating Garnett,Pierce,Allen and Rondo.
