Kobe was the overall best player of the 2000s....what's so hard to understand about that though?
From 2000-2009:
28.1 ppg, 5.8 rpg, 5.2 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.5 bpg
4x NBA Champion
1x NBA Finals MVP
1x Regular Season MVP
10x NBA All-Star
10x All-NBA Team (7x 1st Team, 2x 2nd Team, and 1x 3rd Team)
9x All-Defensive Team (7x 1st Team and 2x 2nd Team
Who has a better resume from the 2000s (2000-2009) than Kobe Bean Bryant?![]()
The guy who just lost the Finals named Tim Duncan does. Not to mention that Shaq was in the league too. Kobe is and has been a beast for a while but he's not been the undisputed best each and every season all those years. This is about him being the best player all those years not who has the best accumulated resume.
Bird was better then Magic for years thou hence being the only back to back to back MVP (till bron wins it next year)How do you decide who has been the best player of the decade by NOT looking at their accumulated resume for the entire decade?

The 60's was Russell's Era
The 70s was Kareem's Era
The 80s was Magic's Era
The 90's was Jordan's Era
The 00's was Kobe's Era
The 10's is LeBron's Era
Are you gonna go back and say...
"No, Moses Malone won 2 MVPs in the 80s...Bird won 3 MVPs in the 80s...Magic wasnt the best in every single year!"![]()

Shaq got 3 of those titles being the man so he doesn't have an argument as to being the dominant player in the 2000's. Duncan got 4 and he has no say in it either. U got Kareem owning the 70's era but he only has one title. So what are you basing this on. Being the best player or having the most rings during that era. Point blank is other than 06 and 07 Kobe has always had other players who could have been considered just as good or better than him. So please stop acting like Kobe owned the entire 2000's like Jordan and Magic did. And even Magic's era should have Bird right there with him. Just like Kobe's should have Duncan and Shaq with him. AI would have a right to owning the 2000's era as well if he had a ring or two. And since your are looking at their accumulated resume how can you form the opinion that Shaq and Duncan don't deserve consideration too.How do you decide who has been the best player of the decade by NOT looking at their accumulated resume for the entire decade?

check the stats
Magic Johnson in the 80s
5x Champion
3x Finals MVP
3x Regular Season MVP
Larry Bird in the 80s
3x Champion
2x Finals MVP
3x Regular Season MVP
So again.....how didnt the 80s belong to Magic Johnson?
"Bu-bu Magic wasnt the best every single year of the 80s"![]()
He doesn't have a clue what he is doing that's why. If rings is his argument as to being the best and Duncan got 4 being the man while Kobe had to share the wealth with Shaq then Tim should be first for the 2000's era. And Wade cause he got 1 without Bron should be over him then right. He's too busy being a Kobe stan to see that were quite a few players who could make the argument that they were the best during the 2000's. Definitely more than their were in the 80's when Bird and Magic ran things. Definitely more than the 90's when Jordan was the undisputed best.

That's when you know people don't know shyt about basketball.at the argument being provided for Allen Iverson getting player of the decade considerations...
Never ceases to amaze me what having cornrows and badass sneaker commercials can do for a guy's image and career...
Nope, Kobe is an overrated, ball hogging, snitching, rapist chucker that is the anti-Christ that will bring about the apocalypse destroying all life as we know it.
