Yea, if you cherry-pick one or two years and ignore the body of work.

Still impressive. How many players even put up stats like that for half a season, let alone two seasons?

And this still won't convince the Kobe cape squad

 

[Playa With Tha Passport]

Hahaahaaa with the blatant Lebron dikk riding. Jordan shows Kobe way more respect and love than Lebron. He does not like Lebron like that. He was just giving Kobe props a week ago at his basketball camp. They're actual friends off the court. He said Kobe's the only player that could beat him one on one. However he said he would beat Lebron. Stop lying. Stop nitpicking. Nobody likes Lebron like that except Magic and Barkley. Wade even called Kobe the GOAT of this generation, not his beloved teammate.

He doesn't like lbj because lbj might surpass him

 

[FlexPavilion]

He doesn't like lbj because lbj might surpass him

He doesn't like Lebron because of how they crowned him before he played one NBA game. Jordan and Kobe earned their rep without team hopping to get titles.

Kobe got comparisons to Jordan avgn 9 points

 

[Sccit]

I didn't say MJ invented it. The way he used it was different than post players like Wilt and Duncan. MJ backed his defender down from the perimeter, not so much in the post.

We know what Pippen was in 94 without Jordan, but do we know what Pip would have been had he never played with MJ?

LOL THIS IS A REACH IF I EVER SEEN 1

 

[Sccit]

Steve Nash was the engine of those Phoenix teams and they wouldn't have done shyt without him. They usually give the award to the player who has the most impact on a playoff team. I don't think the Lakers were in the playoffs when Nash won those years. James Harden should have won this year over Steph. This year was a popularity contest, as you say.

LAKERS WERE IN THE PLAYOFFS AND KOBE HAD THAT HISTORICAL SEASON, 81 POINTS, 62 IN 3 QUARTERS, 35.4 PPG..WILLED A TEAM THAT CONSISTED OF SMUSH PARKER-KWAMA BROWN-LUKE WALTON STARTING TO THE PLAYOFFS ON HIS BACK. ITS A TRAVESTY HE DIDNT GET IT.

 

[Sccit]

Is this possibly the worst thread of all time?

U SAY THAT ABOUT EVERY POST I MAKE CUZ U DONT LIKE KOBE+U ON MY NUTS ... BAD COMBO

 

[Sccit]

They literally have to totally be ignoring numbers if the don't see the Kobe/Dwayne Wade situation. Those two players look really similar to me.

ITS JUST MORE PROOF THAT NUMBERS DO NOT TELL THE STORY.. WADE IS CLEARLY IN A CLASS WELL BELOW KOBE AND ONLY A MORON WOULD ARGUE THAT. NERDS USE NUMBERS TO DICTATE WHOS BETTER, PURISTS USE THE EYE TEST. THERE IS NOTHING THAT WADE DOES ON THE BASKETBALL COURT AS GOOD AS KOBE, FROM DEFENSE TO SHOOTING..KOBE IS HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE WADE. ONLY A DUMBASS GROUPIE LIKE @Miami316 WOULD AGREE WIT U ON THIS. IF WE GO BY NUMBERS, WILT IS THE UNDISPUTED GOAT.

THIS IS TOTALLY IGNORING MY MAIN POINT THAT KOBE WOULD HAVE WAY MORE ACCOLADES IF HE WAS HANDED THE KEYS TO A FRANCHISE FROM DAY 1 ALA MJ, ALL WHILE HAVING THE LUXURY OF PLAYIN WIT PIPPEN, WHO HAD NO ISSUE DEFERRING AS WELL AS LOCKING DOWN THE BEST PLAYER ON THE OPPOSING TEAM, FOR THE DURATION OF MJ'S PRIME.

LOL, My G... this is most reachinest thread I've seen! It's expected and I understand cuz you're from LA.

There's no way to know what Kobe's career would have been if he didn't get traded from the Hornets to the Lakers on draft day. Would he have had a better career than AI? No one knows
