Hakeem or Kobe?

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Kareem gave Dream 46,43,40 and he was 38 years old I can only imagine what a mid 20’s cap would do

Kareem is in the top 5 along with mj,bron,dream and wilt

Not just Keem, but Keem and Ralph.... and I think Cap was finals mvp at the age of 38 that year

his numbers and accolades...son if you did a fantasy draft and had the number 2 pick, you would have to pick prime Shaq.
Besides MJ he was the most dominant offensive player in league history during the early 2000s.
Were you alive back then?

Youngblood.. you’re talking about “fantasy drafts?”


Cap is the league leading scorer of all time.. led 2 different teams to ships.... finals mvp for 2 different squads. 6 chips in all... 20 time all star... 6 time league mvp... 11 time all nba... like 9 time all D squad... and had one of the greatest offensive go to moves ever...

What Goat contender has a better resume?

 

[Kobes Two Jerseys]

Even Kobe don't believe that. Shaq and Kobe won 3 rings together. Shaq and Dream would have cleaned up for the whole decade. Respect to Kobe though.

You dont even believe that. Shaq and Hakeem combined have just one more than Kobe. According to many, Kobe wasnt even going to sniff the finals much less win two in a row without Shaq.

It would be this guy. 3 straight NCAA titles. Beat the varsity team, as a freshman. 3 straight NYC titles at Power Memorial.Oh wait, thats Lew Alcindor aka Kareem.

When someone says shyt like this, they expose themselves as knowing nothing about basketball.

2 elite bigs will never be a better combo than an elite big and an elite guard.

Kobe and Shaq were the better combo by a wide margin.

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

There's a page long of quotes from former and current NBA players that has been posted a million times on this site saying essentially that. It may not include EVERY nba player but it lists a whole bunch of them including many of the all-time greats like Bird, Dirk, Durant, Wade, etc.

To the white controlled media, Kobe is not the 2nd best of all-time. But to the guys who have played the game, him and Jordan are basically seen as equals. With some guys like Kevin Durant saying Kobe is better.

To the guys who have played the game, saying Kobe is the GOAT is not outlandish. Its very much a real possibility.

The media loves Kobe he just won an Oscar during the #metoo movement started in Hollywood. If anything it's more non black people that love Kobe.

They are of the moment fans to a degree, as well then. Unless they mean Kobe is close to Jordan in play style seeing how Kobe basically lifted his whole style minus the high efficiency. Other than that I don't think it's close.

You dont even believe that. Shaq and Hakeem combined have just one more than Kobe. According to many, Kobe wasnt even going to sniff the finals much less win two in a row without Shaq.

Why do y'all act like he didnt get another hall of fame big as a center?

Then he was carried by Ron Artest then gifted a fmvp.

Kobe got 5 rings. Jordan got 6. That's close enough.

Don't bring that cac efficiency shyt. Ain't nobody got time for that irrelevant mess.

When in doubt...

It's all good, this wasn't the topic anyway.

 

[ManBearPig]

lmao at the people saying 'not even close'.

kobe is like a hair behind jordan but he's THAT MUCH behind hakeem?

 

[Alpha Male]

kobe is at worst 85-90% of MJ.

Shaq suspect on defense due to his pick-and-roll defense and can be a liability down the stretch because of his poor free throw shooting. I would rather have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Breh if you were to say Kareem or bill... I would have been cool with that but Kobe?

MJ: GOAT
Kobe: barely top 10 and might lose that spot to KD

 

[Loose]

Taking keem pretty easily tbh

 

[fortheblessings]

Hakeem by far

Who's saying kobe

 

[hashmander]

the dream of course.
