Professor Emeritus: "Kobe was never clearly the best in any season of his career"

[Consigliere]

Emotions flying everywhere.

Kobe is one of the sacred cows of this website. There’s no point trying to put his career in context using facts or evidence.

 

[Trojan 24]

Better than Kobe

jajajajajaja

And? Mike is the GOAT, not Kobe

 

[NYC Rebel]

So many fukk boys in here projecting. One doesnt have to hate Kobe to like Lebron. That's them projecting. Mofos think being objective and not staying on one side is sacrilegious. Trump like behavior shyt.

 

[KidJSoul]

The issue with this argument as that it uses the qualifier of "CLEARLY" better to lessen the impact of Kobe being the best (AKA "he's the best but was he CLEARLY THE BeSt tHouGh?")

And you know he doesn't like to use that qualifier for LeBron, because there's several years where lebron was not CLEARLY the best in the league. 2014-2016, 2019, 2021-2023. Etc. Lebron was not CLEARLY better than anyone in those years either.

Lebron got 5 years where he was clearly the best. Then u can debate the others

YOU POST LIKE SOMEONE WHO WASNT
WATCHING BALL DURING THIS TIME.

AT NO POINT IN THEIR PRIMES
WAS DIRK EVER SEEN AS A BETTER PLAYER
THAN KOBE BRYANT.

THE SPURS BIG 3 WERE ALL IN THEIR PRIMES
AT THAT POINT SO DUNCAN WASN'T
CARRYING shyt ANYMORE.

ANYBODY MENTIONING 3RD YR LEBRON
DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T BE IN THIS THREAD.

Thats his schtick. He doesnt/wasnt actually watch games. He formulates his opinions based off basketball reference stats and media voted awards. So because Dirk won an mvp in 07, he thinks Dirk was viewed as the best player in league. Like you said, anybody watching during that time knows that Dirk wasnt in the conversation.

I dont think ive ever seen or heard anybody say Dirk was the best player in the league, ever.

This guys actually said dirk was making historic runs with the mavs.. he lost to a fukking 8th seed as the #1 seed. He’s lucky social media wasnt big back then.

DUNCAN AVERAGED 19 PTS IN 06
AND THIS nikka BROUGHT HIS NAME UP
JUST TO DISCREDIT KOBE

THESE LGBT nikkaS ARE DERANGED.

Duncan was still a top 5 player in 06 tho. Sharing the ball with Parker and Ginonli and taking less shots but he was still in his prime. Dominate in the playoffs when his minutes and FGA increased.

With thats said.. nobody is taking Dirk over Duncan and Kobe in 06. shyt is crazy talk. I’ve never heard that garbage.

YEA NOBODY IS ARGUING
IF DUNCAN WAS A TOP 5 PLAYER.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BEST
PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE.

DUNCAN WAS ON CRUISE CONTROL
WITH 2 HOFS ALL IN THEIR PRIMES.

nikkaS STOPPED POSTING IN HERE
AFTER THOSE VIDS OF BRON
CALLING KOBE THE BEST SURFACED.

some good discussions on this topic before his death

Crazy thing is, this thread (which makes sense with this being more of a pro-Kobe forum) was probably more favorable to him than the discussion ended up being as the decade progressed. Right or wrong, there were a lot of lists that had him as a fringe top 10 player all time towards the end of the 10s.

I don’t think ever seen him argued as the lead guy in the “LeBron won 2 MVPs” stretch but I’ll give that thread some props for ppl at least throwing the case out there during the peak of Bron’s powers. You gotta give them respect for doubling down

That's your problem.
You don't seem to understand that there's a difference between who is viewed as the best player in a season, and who IS the best player in a season.
