Recency Bias. The only thing that makes LeBron better than Kobe is most "Kobe fans" are 30-45 years old and have better things to do than sit online all day debating sports. Most "LeBron fans" are 20-35 years old. Your group is dominating the internet/media/etc. right now. That's how Kobe all of sudden went from being compared to Jordan to not being top 10 after he died. Your time is coming though :laff: These kids coming behind yall are going to tear that fakkit ass team hopping nikka apart in the next ten years :laff:

Do you still want LeBron to write an Op-Ed telling his fans to leave Kobe alone :mjcry:

Just imagine how hard life must be being this low iq.

First off, this entire forums demographic is 35+ years old and they’ve had registration closed forever. Logically speaking, it’s misrepresentative of how the general populous feels on certain subject matters. Which is why LeBron is so strongly disliked, because the majority of folks here feel his existence threatens the nikkas (Kobe/MJ) they dikkrode in their youth.

Secondly, social media has been around a long time now and is no longer a young man’s game.

There’s a significantly larger portion of 30+ year olds on X—which is the largest propaganda vehicle for sports talk—than there are young folks you fukking bozo :laff:

Thirdly, how in the world can young people be dominating the media? Last I checked almost all the biggest talking heads in sports are old heads.

Fourth off, Gen Z and Gen Alpha largely have LeBron as the GOAT so “your time is coming” makes no sense if anything the mystique and aura around Jordan that old heads have spent the last 30 fukking years maintaining is starting to come undone. :laff:

Fifth, pretty much every single outlet and publication has LeBron at second all time at worst. Even the god damn AIs will tell you that :bryan:

No bigger loser in sports than a Kobe Stan. So insecure spending every day of your lives bringing down other players/saying “what about Kobe???” :mjcry::mjlol:

Only one 1 MVP, 2 finals MVPs and only 2 scoring titles despite jacking more shots than anyone in NBA history.


For the first half of the decade he wasn’t even the best player on his own team :russ:
Who’s the all time leader in missed shots?
Who’s the all time leader in turnovers?
Who got bronze in the 2004 Olympics?
Who failed to see Kobe in the 2009 finals?
Who got locked up by JJ Barea in the 2011 finals?
Who self sabotaged themselve with fake broken hand in the 2018 finals?
Who went 1-3 against Steph Curry in finals?

I mean yea, if Steph has an “argument” then Duncan has a stronger argument.

Hell, given Shaq’s ego i was surprised he didn’t interrupt and insert his own name when Melo named those first two guys.
It’s some unspoken rule that for some reason starting in 1996 PF’s and Centers couldn’t be considered all-time greats.

Like Shaq wasn’t the most dominant player in NBA history for 4 years.

But Shaq regularly allows people to take his shine in the goat discussion which is weird because he is arrogant everywhere else

not taking anything from LeBron, but Bron didn't change the way the game is played

Steph dramatically changed the way the NBA is played

Steph plays like an NBA Jam player where you can't miss if you're on fire

Steph Curry is one of the goats

as far as top ten I don't put players in order, but Steph is one of the goats and revolutionized how the game is played

Hell even Caitlin Clark jacked Steph Curry's style and she's in the WNBA


The game was already creeping that way before Steph. Look up the magic school bus offense Beilein was running at WV and Michigan and the 2014 Spurs.


Steph was just the goat at it. Not saying he isn’t a goat but that it wasn’t him specifically that changed the way the game was played.

There is no real goat conversation, MJ is the goat.
