It's more insane that there's still at least one new Kobe thread upped every day since his last game last year 
I don't think there's ever been a player as overall skilled as Kobe Bryant in this league, Michael Jordan included. Not saying he's the best overall, but just from a purely skills standpoint he probably is.

Overall skill? hes not a better passer, rebounder, finisher, defender, than MJ/LBJ/Wade were. hes even a worse midrange shooter than MJ. Skill is so arbitrary, results matter he only made 45% of his shots while other were more effective

Not so sure about that.
Kobe at his best defensively is a better individual defender than LeBron James or Dwyane Wade at their best. LeBron is/was a better help defender though.
mj was a dr.j stan too so that is a moot point
Confidence bordering on irrational. But...I figured he practiced so hard and felt himself to be just that talented that almost any shot he took had a good chance, so why not?

I meant overall defense...his own coach even said he overrated on D in the middle of his prime lol
Just Overall defense : 2012, 2013 LeBron 2016 finals LeBron >>any kobe defensive season

I read the book that came out on him a few months ago. Incredible book, very enlightening to his driving forces and how he developed that mentality.Confidence bordering on irrational.
