Bilz
Superstar
Where he actually ranked each year really comes down to opinion. I think he had an argument for being the best in the league in several years but I can't think of a year where I'd put him at the top. It certainly was never a slam dunk like the media generated reputation would suggest.So becuz there is no absolute separation he can't be the best?
On the other hand, LeBron clearly separated from the pack in several years and he was never presented as a player with no weaknesses.
So in a world where the media supposedly hates Kobe, how was his reputation always greater than his actual self?
