Take a video of u shooting a basketball
I'm at work right now :skip:


Artest is a prime example of a guy who is naturally gifted at something but cannot convey that knowledge. I've seen him trying to explain defensive strategies and its like :wtf: even though you can put him on the court and he'll do everything perfectly.

A lot of great players have been notoriously bad at coaching and evaluating talent. You know this though.

Most coli posters know more than Artest does. His Kobe/Laker stanning has resulted in a ton of :mjlol: quotes in recent years. But since sucking Kobe's dikk is popular in the media, he has parlayed it into a citizenship award and a bunch of extra years in the NBA that he had no business suiting up for.

Its not just Artest. Jared Dudley said the same thing a few weeks ago. And I doubt you would say he's a Kobe dikkrider. He's criticized Kobe before.

Just face the facts. The overwhelming majority of NBA players think Kobe is better than LeBron.

Here is the evidence:


DIRK - Dirk: Kobe 'greatest player in my generation'

WADE - Dwyane Wade says Kobe Bryant 'is the greatest player of our era'

DURANT - Kevin Durant: Kobe Bryant is 'the greatest of all time,' Kobe and Michael Jordan '1 and 1A'

Do we really need 5-6 shytty threads on the same topic that have no substance or value of any kind every single day? I can't tell the difference between here and the bushes sometimes. Kobe is retired, hasn't been relevant in 5-6 years, and he's never coming back. Move on.

Stay getting mad white boy.

But most NBA players respect Kobe as much as we his stans do.

Read it and weep:

I think Kobe is tougher to guard even though he isn't as good. Even if you hold him to 11-35, there will be 2-3 crazy fadeaways that will be shown on the highlights 1000 times. Even when you take away his shot, he will still take them and make them. He will miss most of them but no one will remember those.

With LeBron, you don't have to worry about getting embarrassed like that. No one will hold you accountable if he finds a wide open shooter or if you give him space and he makes a jumper. Even if he bulldozes and dunks it won't be something the defender gets shyt on for unless he gets knocked to the floor.

Said he's never coming back... Bwahahaha. I ain't a Kobe stan but that truth is so disheartening

MJ once said that Mitch Richmond was the toughest player to guard, how come Mitch Richmond not in top 20 players ever, in fact why he's not even in top 50? I mean to get such props from MJ himself...those damn cac analytics ruined so many great players
ain't it crazy¿
real lifetime hoopers and analysts/nerds/statwhores sound like they be talking bout two different games

Now explain why the overwhelming majority of players say point blank Kobe is better than LeBron.

Because as much as you clowns refuse to acknowledge it, Kobe is the safe answer. Kobe has had the full benefit of all of the media hyperbole. Praising Kobe = ratings. The shock jocks all praise him because it equals ratings. Building him up like a superhero = ratings. Meanwhile, for LeBron, the focus has always been on the negative. It has always been cool to hate him.

Last year, people still called Kobe the greatest player in the league and the response was :ehh:. That would never happen for LeBron if he was statistically one of the worst players of all time like Kobe was last year.

No matter how heavy it was laid out for Kobe, it was never controversial to do it. He could be down 100 in the 4th and if a media head said he still thinks Kobe would come back to win, people would be like " :yeshrug: maybe he's right". It wouldn't matter that he never showed that ability, just like it doesn't matter that in just about all of the statistical categories people clown on LeBron for, he's easily >>> Kobe.
