“Kobe belongs in the GOAT conversation” - Dennis Rodman

[David_TheMan]

Hardwork >> Talent


I know yalls pops taught yall that as kids, right?


Kobe chased after hardworkers.. not necessarily the most talented players in the league but experts at what they were good at (Artest - Defense and offense, Gasol - Offense, Odom - Offense and playmaking, etc.) and won with those.

Bron chased the most talented to play with


Kobe also didn’t run to their teams, he brought them onboard. Recruited the pieces he needed to compete.


shyt is basic logic at this point.

thats a bold faced lie


Only reason he didn't run is because Buss didn't trade him and made him stay.
He was trying his best to leave LA after he ran everyone away.

 

[Red Money]

Kobe was 17 and was like the second player drafted out of HS since ‘75


They put him on the bench behind Eddie Jones who was a fukking 3x’s All-Star until Kobe replaced him. You nikkas not serious

I barely cared about the western conference until Kobe came into the NBA. Then after a couple years I was all in on Iverson until 05-06 Kobe.

But Fish and Kobe had to bust ass in practice cause Eddie and Nick the Quick was doing they thing. And fish had to fight longer with D.Harp and R. Harp getting starting roles over him cause his shooting was suspect...

Yeah both of them came up and grinded together. I remember them both talking about it.

Thats what happens when you got to earn your spot though


Entitled nikkas that want everything handed to them wouldn’t understand that though

Facts


Bron Stans and legacy media and podcasters have tried to erase him . This thread is course correction

 

[Marc Spector]

nikkas can feel Kobe is the goat like how trump feels he won the 2020 election, whatever helps them sleep at night

 

[HabitualChiller]

Wasn't damn near any rookie...yet alone the first guard drafted out of high school in NBA history starting over Eddie Jones back then...

I mean...If Bron was drafted to the Celtics his ass wouldn't have started over Paul Pierce at the time. He would had to bust Paul ass in practice and have supreme confidence taking big shots off the bench...to get the starting spot and get Pierce traded.

Either Boston would've figured out a lineup to have Bron and Pierce starting simultaneously, or Bron would have started over him straight up.

A nígga with that athleticism and natural talent coming off the bench would've gotten that whole front office and the head coach fired after the first month of the season.

Paul Pierce is an ATG player, but rookie Bron was already almost as good as him. Hell, buddy was 9th in MVP voting as a rookie.

Me analyzing kobe as a player is being a fukking fan of basketball the game.

That you can't differentiate a player analysis from a personal analysis, and that you and your ilk think not liking a player and their playing style is a reflection of the household they were brought in, speaks volumes.

I can't help you kids. Its clear you were raised with ballplayers as psuedo father figures and that shyt is sad as hell. Doesn't matter who your favorite player is, bron, kobe, mj, or whoever.

Get perspective.
