Kobestans are straight up murdering themselves in this thread :mjlol:

When Kobe was putting up great numbers on teams that went nowhere, it was all good. When Kobe struggled to make the playoffs with Dwight as his 2nd best player, it was considered a phenomenal season.

I'd be very surprised if there are any defensive figures that rate Kobe over Harden yet people keep bringing up defense. Kobe is a lot better at hiding and blaming his teammates but his overall effort has been very forgettable at that end since 2002 or so. The Kobe sucks video by Yinka Dare on youtube was made during Kobe's defensive "prime" and there are several clips on there Harden would be killed for.

The media loves Kobe so much. Stans will never realize how much that has done for his reputation.

kobe's next season was untouchable :wow:

nobody's doubting kobe's greatness but idk why his stans so mad to see harden succeed :pachaha:

No one is mad he's doing well, the fact that you had to use a season where Kobe was injured to compare the two says a lot. Harden is NEVER gonna win anything as "the man" on his team.

That's fair, but the fact that Kobe was injured that season doesn't mean anything to you? Or are you just that intent on giving harden props?

good thread.. only thing i can say is kobe is definitely a better defender and works harder on the defensive end while harden is better offensively and doesn't take dumbass shots with a hand in his face and enough time on the clock to find a better shot.. give harden phil jackson and shaq and he wins multiple titles...also harden wasn't nearly as bad on defense when he was with thunder.. a great team motivates players .. that's no excuse but it's a factor you can't overlook ..
