Kobe is better than all of those players. Kobe's career averages are low because he came in as a teenager and played behind 2 all-stars his first 2 years in the league. He also shared the ball with Shaq his first 8 years.

Its all about context.

His numbers are better. Look at his numbers when Shaq was out of the line up. Look at his 03,06 and 07 seasons.

You really going to sit there and say if Kobe didn't play behind Eddie and Van and had to share the ball with Shaq for 8 years his numbers wouldn't be better? :stopitslime::what:

Everyone's situation is different, if anything the fact that he's a Top 5 scorer of all time despite sitting behind Eddie Jones in his first years and deferring to Shaq in his early title years shows how great he is.

btw, did anyone of those players average 35.4 ppg or single handedly outscore a Finals runner up in 3 quarters? :stopitslime:

Im not saying that they were better. All im saying is as far as skills and ability their stats shows players have been putting up Kobe numbers for years.

Adrian Dantley had a 30ppg for 4 years in a row in the Magic and Bird era

Fantastic, so just so we're clear. Everything your typing is bullshyt, and you didn't take into account the years where Kobe didn't play a lot of minutes. Or the fact that he played with a superstar in his prime and sacrificed his own game. So yeah, your a fukkin idiot for even comparing Kobe to these characters but at least we all understand that.
