Alot of Kobe stans get on my nerves but I must admit that there was some small talk about Kobe being the goat. From that 2008-2010 period specifically. Especially 2010. After he won in 2010, you have to remember he had 5 titles before Duncan got his fifth and just passed Shaq in titles. He got finals mvp for both too. You combine that with his scoring blitz in 2006 and yeah there was a little debate on if he was better than Jordan. Now they didn't outright say if he's the goat like they do with LeBron see they was more slick with it. They just say if he was better than Jordan and since most of us think Jordan is the goat, there you go. People forget about that time period tho because it was a short few years right before LeBron started winning and years before the warriors took over
Thank you, dude thinks I am making shyt up. :dead:

There was chatter during the year he got MVP too, and then after that year is when Lebron really started going crazy. That is the year people really started the Kobe/Lebron debates, especially with the media trying to promote it through them puppet commercials, and with those debates there was a lot of people saying Kobe is the GOAT.

Maybe from kids.

The real debate that came from that was if kobe did enough to crack the top 10.

Naw breh after he won those back to back titles they were debating if he was better than Jordan. Alot of us thought he was probably going to get number 6. From 2006 to 2010 Kobe was being compared to Mike. There's no reason to lie about it. For some reason the media is trying to erase that time period for whatever reason

The puppet commercials were '09. The year after he got embarrassed in the finals losing by 39 points in the close out game. Real heads were not claiming false kings

It’s amusing to see these Kobe stans get upset at Bron stans for going at MJ. I recall Kobe stans like CacStop were on SOHH regularly disparaging Jordan, especially when it looked like Kobe was going to at least tie MJ in rings. I guess hypocritical fakkits conveniently forgot this:mjlol:

Because they never liked Kobe to begin with. His success after his failures made them have to speak on him positively.

:russ:

I'm old I remember the narratives dawg

Nobody ever said Kobe was the GOAT

NEVER...

EVER...

They say he's an all time great but never has he been discussed as the GOAT

The GOAT conversations are between LeBron and MJ
You must not remember the Jordan vs Kobe stan wars. They allies now but back then it was ugly :lolbron:

FOH Kobe got to the finals and destroyed the team that eliminated LeBron. LeBron’s puppet failed to face Kobe for the chip
