For where he was picked and looking at all the other players in that draft class that is a huge accomplishment because that 96 was draft was one of if not the greatest draft classes ever. 84 may top it but i think its better than the 03 one because they had more productive players throughout that draft. No one would have said back then that Kobe would be the best out of that draft over players like AI Stephon Reef and even Kerry Kittles. I often wondered if Jersey would have drafted him instead would he have refused to play for them too.

show where kobe refused to play for any team that drafted him.

GOAT franchises don't get relocated. But I guess you have to abandon all logic and reason once you decide to become a Laker fan. It's a requirement.
Having 6 players in the top 15 all-time is GOAT franchise shyt.

Having the most finals appearances out of any NBA team is GOAT Franchise shyt.

Having the longest NBA regular season winning streak is GOAT Franchise shyt.

Having the best playoff winning percentage in NBA history is GOAT Franchise shyt.

Goat franchises dont pressure their players into returning after tearing their ACLs. :manny:

6 players in the top 15 according to who? Lemme guess, Kobe is one of those 15? :heh:

I noticed you said "most finals appearances" but made no mention of most chips. :mjpls:

You also referred to a win streak that took place when half the talent was in another league.

And what has Kobe done to your precious playoff winning percentage the past few years? That's not even counting this year's 1st round exit if they can be so lucky as to even make it.

Being one ring off of the NBA record is a bad thing now? :what:

The Lakers went 15-1 in the 2001 playoffs. That's an NBA record.

Kobe Bryant, Kareem, Shaq, Wilt, Magic and West are in most people's top 15.

We missed the playoffs only twice and have the most playoffs wins in NBA history.
