Nick Wright: "Kobe was never the best player in the league once in his career"

[Jplaya2023]

Let's look at this logically from 2000-current

2000 - Shaq
2001 - Shaq
2002 - Shaq
2003 - Duncan
2004 - KG
2005 - Duncan
2006 - Wade
2007 - Lebron
2008 - Lebron
2009 - Wade
2010 - Lebron
2011 - Rozay
2012 - Lebron
2013 - Lebron
2014 - Lebron
2015 - Lebron
2016 - Lebron

this is nonsense

Im a Kobe fan, im not a stan like a lot of brehs on here.

Kobe was the best player in the NBA for a few years in his career. I agree about Lebron being the best player in 2007-08, but from 2005-2007, Kobe was the best.

And then he, Shaq, and Duncan alternated that crown from 2000-2004. They all werent the best for a season, but they were the best for a period during that time frame.

The trend I'm noticing now is a lot of revisionist history from people. It's as if people only do numbers watching or flat out hated the way he played/who he was and make his career seem as though it was some ball hog that caught some dumb luck and became successful. You'd think Kobe was Melo the way some people speak on him now.

Derek Jeter syndrome. Plays for historic franchise in big city with flashy game. Hailed as some hero. Jeter isn't even a top 5 yankee LOL

To be fair the top 5 yankees are probably also the top 5 baseball players period

There'd be 3-4 yankees in there with Barry and maybe ted. Baseball is very specialized in its roles so a top 5 is too small to judge. OP is a cock gobbling fakkit for that post though.

He ain't lying but that doesn't mean Kobe wasn't great.

agreed. nick wright is correct in his assertion, but kobe was a very good player in his own right. arguably top 5 shooting guard of all-time, top 75 NBA player of all-time

@Raul

Off the court Kobe and Tim are kind of weird.

On the court, they were both great.
But Duncan was greater.

True.

 

[High quality poster]

Kobe was the best basketball player in the NBA from 2001-2009



Over that span.

5 rings
1 gold medal
Over 20 50 point games
Over 100 40 point games
3-1 against Duncan and the spurs

How do y'all define best?

Stat padding MVPs?

Kobe wasn't even the best player on his team until the 2004-05 season
