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.
Man foh with this BS. In the "Smush and Dantinio" years he wasn't an All-NBA Defender period. He was never as versatile as LeBron who could be switched onto positions 1-4 and even smaller 5's where he could play excellent ball denial out the post. I could post %'s of what he held guys like D-Rose, Carmelo, Tony Parker in isolation in big playoff games and series'.

LeBron was a DPoY runner-up several times Kobe never was period. LeBron is the team D as he is always the teams best help defender which makes him the more impactful defender. LeBron has seasons with nasty on/off defensive numbers so to say his metrics are inflated by team D is idiotic. Matter fact LeBron has two of the greatest defensive plays in Finals history. Stop it nikka stop it.

I don't know bout that other shyt you saying but Kobe was considered a great defender before Lebron came into the league. Lebron also never dealt with the amount of injuries Kobe has over his career

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.

Shaq won 3 straight fmvps and was the most dominated player in the league at one point.

YOU SAY KOBE WAS NEVER AN ALL-NBA DEFENDER, YET HE MADE MORE ALL-DEFENSE TEAMS THAN ANYONE IN NBA HISTORY, AND ALL-DEFENSE TEAMS ARE PICKED BY OPPOSING COACHES WHO STRATEGIZED ENTIRE GAME PLANS AGAINST HIS DEFENSE....KILL YASELF.

LEBRONS DEFENSIVE PLAYS COME ON WEAKSIDE HELP, EVEN THE GREAT DEFENSIVE FINALS PLAYS U TALKIN BOUT LMAO. LEBRON CAN NOT PROPERLY GUARD WINGS, BECAUSE THEY CAN BLOW BY HIM WIT EASE. THATS WHY HIS SIGNATURE MOVE IS A CHASE DOWN BLOCK. HE CANNOT MOVE LATTERLY LIKE KOBE N PLAY THE SAME LEVEL OF MAN D. NOT MOBILE ENOUGH TO LOCK DOWN. THERES A REASON HE WILL NEVER SNIFF THE RECORD SETTING AMOUNT OF ALL-D TEAMS KOBE HAS.

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

NOPE .. LAKERS DONT OPERARE LIKE THAT. NICK N EDDIE WERE BOTH ALL-STARS. KOBE WAS BETTER THAN THEM DAY 1, BUT LAKERS MADE HIM EARN HIS WAY TO THE TOP. ITS PART OF WHAT MADE HIM THE HARDEST WORKER IN NBA HISTORY.

I didn't say Kobe wasn't an All-NBA Defender at one point he was I'm saying he received some undeserved All-NBA Defensive Teams based off reputation which is true if you saw Kobe's defense in the Smush years where he coasted to preserve himself for offense. You putting words in my mouth.

LeBron can properly guard wings the fukk are you talking about. Ask D-Rose if LeBron can't move laterally lmao. LeBron is a better perimeter, help, weakside, and transition defender than Kobe. Stronger, faster, smarter, more versatile. I don't care about Kobe's All-D teams because he never reached LeBron's peak as a defender. He was never a defensive anchor like LeBron was and he never had top 3 Defensive Player of the Year finishes like LeBron did. LeBron's '09 season is one of the best defensive seasons ever by a wing.

You're arguing with someone who thinks Kobe was a better scorer than Jordan. He's functionally retarded. It's best to not waste your breath on this fool.

HIM NOT PICKING LEBRON HAD NOTHIN TO DO WITH HIM BEIN ACTIVE....THEY ASKED HIM WHY HE DIDN'T PICK LEBRON N IF THAT WERE THE CASE HE WOULDA SAID IT.
Breh he was CLEARLY picking players he grew up watching.

Which is the reason he made that ridiculous stretch putting fukking Ray Allen at the 3...Allen was prolly one of his favorite players growing up.

It's no coincidence that no player on his list came into the league after 96.

I have no problem with this list.

Is it disrespectful for J.Cole to call Nas his GOAT when Jay Z is the one who signed him and put him on?

You can work with someone and respect thier greatness without them being your favorite.

Id do MJ Kobe Bron KG Shaq. Bron kobe and mj could switch all day on the perimeter and mj kobe and kg would get on shaqs ass if he started to get lazy. Maybe switch hakeem for kg and have twin towers going on the inside. Hakeem shaq mj kobe bron would be a perfect fit for the the triangle and be unstoppable.

There are people actually using troll comments in arguments. :mindblown:

A shoot-first guard just made an All-time NBA team with three shoot-first guards and then puts a ball-hungry Shaq in the middle, and you can't see as a troll comment. :heh:



KG, Kobe, and MJ would have teammates in a psych ward after the game

Fixed that for you.




NOPE...IT'S BECAUSE WHITE NERDS WHO NEVER PLAYED THE GAME INVENTED ANALYTICS SO THEY CAN BE PART OF THE GAME. WTF WAS "ANANLYTICS" IN THE 80'S? STAY WOKE...THEY TRY TO QUANTIFY A GAME OF SPIRIT. THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER HEAR NO ONE WHO ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME TALKIN BOUT THAT BULLSHIIT.

You sound like Wilt getting pissed off at Russell 50 years ago for "intellectualizing" the game.




Who's going to take the clutch shots for the cavs

I dunno, maybe the guy with 8 playoff game-winners rather than the guy with none? :troll:




:russ: Jordan also took Adam Morrison over Brandon Roy and Kwame Brown over Pau Gasol. He also sent Tyson chandler to Dallas for next to nothing.

:lolbron:




LMFAO U CAN TELL THAT DEEP DOWN, KYRIE KNOW HE BETTER THAN BRON

:dead:

Yeah, I'm sure Kyrie was all like, "If you hadn't come here, we would have made the playoffs one day and stopped getting the #1 pick every year eventually. You wait and see. You wait and see!"

You're delusional and kill that lakers don't operate like that talk cuz magic,worthy,nick van and Eddie jones all started their rookie seasons, Kobe just wasn't ready meanwhile lebron jumped right into the game and was ballin he would've easily started on that lakers squad with Kobe backing him up
