Dying at the mental gymnastics you gotta pull off to defend KobeBron was comin up small half the time in his prime so sayin he has a big margin over Kobe's prime is laughable, you Bron stans and Kobe haters like to rewrite history but the truth is Kobe was the best player in the world for damn near a decade and was at least 3-2 in the Finals durin that run dependin on when you consider his prime startin while Bron is 3-4 in his prime and went 2-2 on a superteam in the East.:iversondisgusted:
Pointin out MVPs bein popularity contests ain't dumb its a fact thats why Kobe and Shaq who were the best players on the planet from 1999-2011 combined for only 2 while Steve fukkin Nash has 2 by himself, deflectin wit that All defense/NBA shyt doesn't have a better case of bein true Kobe was the best durin most of those years of course he gonna be 1 of the 10-15 players on those teams top 10 all time players always make those lists a bunch of times.
But not givin Kobe the MVP in 06 by sayin your team has to be top 2 in the conference which was never stated as an "unofficial rule" until then was clearly an excuse to snub him:mmmhmmiseeyou:then those same muhfukkas turn around and vote for James Harden who was on a 3 seeded team and push for Westbrook to be MVP when his team didn't make the playoffs at allwhich proves its about popularity cause if a best in the world all time top 10 player can't win for carryin scrubs to the 7th seed then a 3rd or 4th best player in the league damn sure shouldn't get consideration for puttin up empty stats on a championship contender that can't make the playoffs when his co-star is hurt.
Bron won't be close longevity wise he still relies heavily on athleticism by 31 Kobe and MJ were gettin it done wit skill cause when you can't outperform the competition based on sheer athleticism things like a consistent jumper and post game will keep you at the top, :whythefukkyoulyin:@ Bron havin better championship runs and facin better competition when he was on a superteam in the all time WOAT Eastern Conference and playin wit 2 All Stars this year while Kobe went thru the tough West to get to every one of his rings and beat an elite Celtics team wit 3 HOFers for his last championship. THATS one of the dumbest things I'VE ever heard on here.
Don't make me pull up that graphic that stays gettin you Kobe haters mad showin how his numbers were nearly identical to Shaq's in 01 and actually bein slightly better in certain areas, he was the go to guy for the Lakers in the West playoffs the last 2 rings of the 3 peat it wasn't until the Finals when Shaq would become the #1 option cause the East didn't have big men who could hang wit him. Kobe also would close out games wit Shaq on the bench because of the Hack-a-Shaq, there's a reason why people would debate who was the lead dog on the team and why Shaq felt threatened by Kobe's emergence.
People always called Wade the batman on that Heat team cause he won before and it was his team that LeBron came to wit Bosh, and Wade was actually clutch showin up in 2011 the reason they didn't win is cause of your boy Bron disappearin in the 4th so sayin Wade WOULD'VE been there if they won is tryna penalize him for Bron's fukk up when that year is the main year that proves my point that Wade was Batman.
Figures a LeBron stan would say some bullshyt like Finals record don't matterthe reason Jerry West ain't top 10 is BECAUSE he was 1-8 in the Finals (a record you LeBron stans were afraid he was gettin close to a little over a month ago) if he had turned 3 or 4 of those Ls into Ws he'd be up there just like if LeBron won 6 instead of only 3 he'd be the top 5 arguably GOAT player that yall pretend he already is.
Kobe has performed great in the playoffs and Finals I've already highlighted how LeBron has been the one thats performed atrociously compared to Kobe you even sayin that shows you the delusional one, you got those numbers backwards dikkhead Kobe is 5-2 performin up to his own standards LeBron is the 2-5 one I can tell you tryna go off Finals MVPs and front like Kobe only winnin that award twice means he played like trash in all the other series. Funny how much value you place on awards that are handed to players but championships that are actually EARNED you claim "don't matter", :michaeljordanlaugh:@ LeBron etherin Kobe in the clutch category when thats where Kobe has the biggest margin over LeBron.
That graphic you mentioned where there stats are nearly identical is from the first two rounds in 2001, anyone with a brain know Kobe never outperformed Shaq in the ENTIRE playoffs. One time Kobe tried to, he shot them out the '04 finals.

LeBron 31.9 ppg on 45% FG with 10.6rpg and 6.5apg (12 games)
I ain't got time for the rest of that bullshyt, literally all of it is opinion based trash with no facts to back it up.
Says the retard who made a thread about him, he retired but yall STILL gotta throw shade cause he threatens your idol LeBron that much. The love he got this year his walk off 60 point final game and the fact his legacy is cemented as top 5 all time has you Bron stans pressed
Bron will never be on his level and by the time his career is over he gonna look even worse compared to Kobe than he does now cause the Warriors bout to go ham on his Finals record and when his athleticism declines so will his game since he gets by on freakish ability and not honed skills like Kobe/MJ that nikka LeBron still can't post up after 13 years.:michaeljordanlaugh:
Before that series yall were damn near in mornin cause yall felt he was bout to fall to 2-5 in the Finals, had dikkriders like Stephen A cryin on tv talkin bout "He don't deserve this!
" and now that he won wit help from the league yall gettin giddy playin prisoner of the moment as if it erases his past failures ignorin the fact that he still has a losin record in the Finals and will prolly lose the next several years to the Warriors causin his streak of goin to the Finals every year that yall brag about to backfire on yall ass.
none of the all time top 10 ever performed that bad in a postseason series which already solidified how overrated and mentally weak he is and showed he will never be considered better than Kobe by any non Bron stan/Kobe hater. Its also why its ironic that yall kill Curry for not showin up when Bron Bron has a history of that shyt goin back to his first stint in Cleveland
yall even cried about the media makin excuses for him bein hurt when they did the same thing for LeBron when his mom got fukked by Delonte West but Curry refused to even allude to bein hurt unlike LeBron who was infamously rubbin his elbow durin warmups while wincin tryna convince errbody that he was playin like shyt cause he really was hurt like the media said.
