This fall.



After Chuck made his edict, I ain't heard one media person bring up Jordan's name in the same breathe as LeBron.


dude, chuck has been saying that for the past few years, nothing changed. We already the comparisons will continue right when next season starts up, just like it did when this one ended

Steve Kerr "MJ and LeBron 'two best players that I've ever witnessed'


And once again, you are citing what the media says. Sure the media has been trying to push Kobe out of the way to promote their current cash cow LeBron James. But I know you've heard NBA player after NBA player keep saying why ya'll forgetting about Kobe.

It started with Allen Iverson. Allen Iverson Wants People To Remember Kobe In MJ And LeBron Debates

Then you had T-Mac and Vince Carter say the same thing over the last few weeks on ESPN.

they said that while still believing lebron is greater than kobe...repost


all T-mac is talking about is being in offensive attack mode, he never once put Kobe ahead of lebron, infact he said Lebron is top 3 to 5 all time, so unless you think he had kobe at number 2:patrice::mjgrin:


"Mike is just to me, in my opinion, he's just the greatest of all time in the toughest era and the things that he did. And LeBron is arguably to me top 3 greatest of all time. You know what i have a problem with, though? And I've played against MJ, I've played against 'Bron... Bro, how people just skip over Kobe like Kobe wasn't nice like that, though? People just bypass and say, 'LeBron is just better than Kobe and we just go to the greatest of all time, MJ'. Coming from me, I've played against all three of these dudes. I will say Bron is easily top 3 greatest, top 5 all time. I will say this: I would much rather, as an opponent, play against LeBron than facing Kobe or Jordan on the other side. Because of their mentality and what I know what they're going to do every frickin possession. Every single possession. You've got to be locked in."


and then when you add this nugget in from about a year ago


Tracy McGrady Picks LeBron James Over Michael Jordan To Start A Team

“I think if you want to start a team, I’m going to go with LeBron because of him being able to take lesser talent and elevate those guys… Because of his pass-first mentality, being able to elevate his team in terms of their style of play.



“Mike is going out there trying to get 30 and 40 points. He’s not looking to make his team better.”

T-Mac Picks LeBron James Over Michael Jordan To Start A Team

and this

Paul Pierce Can’t Believe Tracy McGrady Would Pick LeBron James Over Magic Johnson

McGrady talked about which players would be on his all-time starting five:

“My five? I’m putting LeBron, I’m not putting Magic,” McGrady said.

That resulted in an incredulous Pierce simply saying “wow” twice before McGrady attempted to give his reasons for the selection. That only led Pierce to continue to express his shock at McGrady. After Pierce again couldn’t believe that McGrady had ranked James ahead of Johnson, McGrady was finally able to elaborate:

“If I’m doing my starting five, LeBron James is in my starting five lineup,” McGrady said.

When McGrady indicated that Johnson wouldn’t be in that starting lineup, Pierce attempted to attribute McGrady’s age as the basis for his reasoning:

“You know, he was born in the ’80s,” Pierce said.

To counter that, McGrady pointed out that Pierce grew up in Los Angeles, which would explain his support for Johnson, a legendary former member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Pierce then began to provide his all-time starting lineup, noting Johnson, Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Bill Russell, the latter name causing McGrady to once again react, who felt that Tim Duncan was worthier:

“You didn’t even see him play,” McGrady said to Pierce about Russell. “You PLAYED against Timmy D.”

Attempting explain his choice of Russell, Pierce then added his center on the hypothetical team:

“I need a balance in the lineup,” Pierce said. “My center is Kareem (Abdul-Jabbar).”

Tracy McGrady’s Top 5 NBA Players




McGrady’s top 5 lists includes:


  • Los Angeles Lakers guard Magic Johnson
  • Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan
  • Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James
  • Houston Rockets center Hakeem Olajuwon
  • Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O’Neal

Tracy McGrady’s Top 5 NBA Players



The media might be trying to make the public forget about Kobe but the NBA players ain't. According to most NBA players, Kobe is still ranked ahead of LeBron on their all-time lists. And I trust the opinions of the players over random crakkkas in the media.

not true at all.....even most of the old head nba legends put lebron over kobe and many of them put lebron over jordan

Kobe wasn't injecting himself in anything that tweet was direct response to his Twitter comments. His fans and lebron fans was arguing making points ....it was out of hand ...

Hence the statement ....

GODBE

Cac talking ball. I don't pay attention to crakkkas opinions on basketball. Even if he was lucky enough to play in the NBA.

I can tell you lack reading comprehension skills. In that post T-Mac clearly says he'd rather face LeBron than Kobe or Mike. And he said is top 3. The implication being clear that Kobe and Jordan are ranked ahead. If this is the best you got, you gotta come better.

First of all, just cause you choose to start a team with a guy doesn't mean you think they are better. And secondly, that wasn't T-Mac top 5 players list. It was a STARTING 5. That is why the list is by position. Try again.

With regard to Dr. J, he's already made it very clear he has Kobe ahead of LeBron:

WELCOME BACK

Thanks breh. Now can you give this clown @IllmaticDelta that long ass list of NBA player quotes that have Kobe over LeBron.

He got excited by Steve Kerr's quote and misrepresenting T-Mac views thinking he was onto something. Not knowing that the list of NBA players that have Kobe over LeBron is a mile long while he only has 1-2 guys in his corner.

Are you saying this because he's doing that Detail show for them? Or are you trying to suggest there is some pro-Kobe agenda at ESPN? If its the latter, then you're either delusional or lying through your teeth. ESPN has been anti-Kobe since 2003.
No I'm saying this because ESPN cares about ratings and they're dealing with the weirdest and most insecure and sensitive fanbase of all time.

Kobe doesn't even belong in this conversation. They bring him up because people love him and like talking about him. The media "hate" of Kobe was not voting him MVP enough and occasionally showing stats that suggested his team was more successful when he shared the ball more. You would be inconsolable if they ever gave Kobe the LeBron treatment.

he knows more than you....you're the one that said wiggins would be great:russ:

na, we know what his top 5 looks like and from there its easy to see that kobe was not in his top 3:umad:




First of all, just cause you choose to start a team with a guy doesn't mean you think they are better. And secondly, that wasn't T-Mac top 5 players list. It was a STARTING 5. That is why the list is by position. Try again.

stop it...when we know sg/sf is interchangeable (you can slide players over)





With regard to Dr. J, he's already made it very clear he has Kobe ahead of LeBron:
