I see what you did here. You totally flipped the debate. Its gone from whether or not Kobe is as good as we think he is, to now whether or not Kobe has flaws. :rudy:

Every human being has flaws. Kobe is abrasive, selfish, psychotic, and definitely lets his emotions get the better of him when takes bad shots rather than making the right basketball play. Of course no coach is gonna come out and say that. But because he has flaws doesn't mean he isn't top 10 all time. That he hasn't been the best player of the 2000s. And that he isn't the closest we've seen to MJ.

However, the debate is whether Kobe is overrated. That he really isn't a top 10 all-time player. And that is the opinion I believe that has no merit because most respected coaches and players would universally say Kobe's been the best player in the league the last decade and the closest to Jordan. He's top 10 all-time and has a chance to be top 5 when his career is done.

Regarding the top 10 or top 5 ranking, who are the players and coaches that have placed him in either category? You keep talking about these praises that actual players and coaches are giving Kobe but you haven't shown how they go against what has been said in the article.

The thing is, he is regularly tossed around in the GOAT conversation and he has been for his entire career. That is a product of being overrated. If all anyone was trying to do was sneak him into the top 10, these discussions would be much much different over the years.

Sedale Threat, Antonio Harvey, Pig Miller, Elden Campbell, George Lynch, Anthony Peeler...do you know who these dudes are? Naahhh...but a Laker fan will. They'll even tell you who Randy Pfund is.

:wtb:

I'm a Kings fan and I know who those dudes are and where they went to college at. If you're a Lakers fan and those are new names to you, then YOU LOST.

One of the biggest problems with these discussions is that Kobestans struggle to understand the meaning of the word "overrated". Being overrated doesn't mean you're a scrub

yet..............u discredit everything he does.

shut up with your contradicting ass.

That's a real good article. Author makes a lot of valid points and uses facts/games/stats to back up his arguments. And instead of using facts/games/stats to refute the logical claims made in this piece, Kobe stans are resorting to their predictable gibberish. "Oh he's a cac. Ya'll are just haters. Kobe has 5 rings. Kobe's da GAWD." :scusthov:
