You didn't refute my points though :mjpls:
So a 6'2 Gary Payton is the best defender you can bring up? :dead:
At least Kobe faced the likes of prime Tayshaun Prince and Bruce Bowen.

6'4 payton who was the defensive player of the year and a better defender than anyone kobe ever faced in a playoff or finals series and you completely dismissed clyde drexler who was considered the best sg in the league not named jordan

Then you named a 6'10 170 pound rookie in prince who shut kobe down in the 04 finals

Weak era? His stepped through and on 20+ HOFers (All-Time greats at that) to get his. You will never see that level of competition again
there are 103 former NBA players in the basketball HOF.

the NBA has been around for 67 years. If you took a random ten year splice of the NBA, there is a good chance you will have around 20 HOFers in the league. That includes today.

Stop psycing a period because you were alive to watch it. It is one of the things that annoys me about sports fans, and people in general. "IT was great back when I was a kid," no its about what its always been.

I mean MJ was still one of the better 2-guards in the league at 39,40 years old.
as evidenced by?

He made no All NBA teams, no All Defense teams. Didnt even get voted in for his second ASG during those two years. Where is the evidence that he was one of the better 2guards in the NBA at 39-40 other than your imagination?



and I know you simple doofuses will take this post as a MJ diss, it is not even close to that. I havent said anything about him or this thread.

He had no legit perimeter players his size to guard him :scusthov:

Outside of Clyde; Penny, and Reggie, most of the perimeter players in his era were bench warmers :scusthov:

He's still a hell of a player, but this is why Kobe is better. I'll admit that as a bron Stan. :manny:

Shaq Kobe Lakers also bowed down to the Bulls in the regular season...


:rudy:

The Lakers only played 2 games against the Bulls with both Shaq & Kobe vs Jordan and Pippen and went 1-1.....how did we bow down to the Bulls? The biggest victory the Bulls had over us was 6 points when both Shaq & Kobe played. We, however, beat the Bulls by 25 points when Shaq & Kobe played.


Who bowed down to whom?:patrice:


Oh, the Kobe-only Lakers were also 1-1 against both Jordan & Pippen too:manny:

Ladies & Gentlemen

We are witness to the triple :troll: :troll: :troll:

1. Discredit the 90's--you know, the era Kobe & Jordan played in

2. Randomly bring Jordan/Kobe up--head to head--omitting Kobe also had an "angle" to make him out to be "less than"

3. :troll: He better than Jordan, do...just not Lebron

:ehh:

Aint his fault tho. He still completely dominated in the playoffs when the weaker squads were filtered out...
Really? Who was his stiffest playoff competition? The crackhead CBA overmuscled no skills Knickerbockers & Pacers? Oh, he beat a a dying Lakers team, a Blazers team highlighted by Drexler and a bunch of bums? The punkass Jazz? the Suns? FOH!
