KYRIE IRVING NAMES HIS ALL-TIME NBA TEAM

[Sccit]

Kobe is a better defender than LeBron? You're kidding right?

LBJ in his prime was a perennial First Team All-Defense, and a two time DPoY runner-up and has far better defensive metrics than Kobe, as well as memorable lockdown defensive performances at multiple positions. Perimeter, help, weakside, transition, LeBron was better than Kobe at all of those.

Kobe was getting completely undeserved All-NBA Defensive Teams off reputation.

LMAO KOBE IN HIS PRIME WAS A LOCKDOWN DEFENDER. LEBRON HAS GOOD TEAM N WEAKSIDE DEFENSE. HIS MAN D IS NOWHERE NEAR PRIME KOBE. TALK ABOUT AN UNDESERVING DEFENSIVE REPUTATION, NO ONE IS MORE OVERHYPED THAN LEBRON. METRICS, WHEN IT COMES TO D, IS HEAVILY DEPENDANT ON TEAM D. KOBE'S METRICS SUFFERED IN THE SMUSH YEARS AND THEN LATER ON IN THE DANTINIO YEARS. BUT HES ALWAYS BEEN A FAR SUPERIOR DEFENDER TO BRON.

Jordan and Kobe backcourt would be back to the basket all day on smaller guards. Jordan averaged 8 assists at one point, so PG for the GOAT isn't so crazy.

Ray Allen at the 3 though is the weakest link. Larry Bird to space the floor out, but if wants to keep it recent and not his current generation, McGrady/Tayshaun Prince would round out that roster pretty nice.

But like breh said, the amount of mind games and shyt talking from MJ, KG and Kobe would be unreal while they're dropping buckets.

Kobe is your favorite player's favorite player

Lockdown defense

Kobe at the 1

 

[Fenian]

If he was going to leave Bron off he could have at least picked an actual forward to replace him.

If he's going for spacing you pick someone like bird or KD.

Kobe is your favorite player's favorite player

Iverson's DREAM is to play with Kobe even after retirement.

 

[Supreme365]

Over Mr Flow On? a 20 & 7 player? In the 90s? Naaaaah. He would've had to wit his turn as well.

Rookie lebron would've started over nick van exel or Eddie jones

 

[Gravity]

"I'd put MJ at the 1, Kobe at the 2, Ray Allen at the 3, gotta space it out, got to have a spot up 4, so I'm probably going to go with KG, he's going to rim-run, do the dirty work. I'd put Shaq at the 5."

YET ANOTHER LEBRON TEAMATE WHO KNOWS KOBE>>>>

This just illustrates his lack of basketball IQ and partly why he's not a good point guard.

 

[Eternal Tecate]

Penny
Wade
Bron
Tim
Hakeem

Think that could take mj & crew down. Series would go at least 7 game and you know what kg & bean do

0 shooting

 

[Godless Socialist CEO]

Everyone is focused on the Lebron snub when the two most egregious things are Shaq over Hakeem and that dumbass didn't bother to put anyone on the team that could actually run an offense.

 

[Broad Street Bully]

Bron stans

the worst people on the planet :fatlol:

So no one else noticed he chose all retired players and omitted himself as well?

These were probably his favorite players growing up. thecoli.com

 

[broller]

i'm late, but it seems he's using only retired players so that;s his way out of not using bron.

i read the entire article and he didn't say that was the case as to why he didn't choose lebron...interesting
