Nope, you have a bad memory. From 2008 to 2011, Kobe was god status in the media. Anytime LeBron's greatness was mentioned, they were quick with the qualifiers that he wasn't a championship player and he wasn't clutch like Kobe. They already knew he was bigger, stronger, faster, and crushed him in the major statistics, but they still always addressed Kobe as the champion and the best player in the league.

Once LeBron had championships, the argument was over, but they'd usually just act like Kobe just got old and injured and they wouldn't acknowledge that LeBron was better than Kobe ever was.

The analytics match up with what I already watched. You should be trying to figure out why the actual data in games doesn't match up with what you think (or wish ) happened.

SO YOU NEED A GAME OF SOUL AND PASSION QUANTIFIED TO UNDERTAND IT BETTER .. GOT U.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS U CANT ATTACH NUMBERS TO...I WOULDNT EXPECT A GODLESS INDIVIDUAL TO UNDERSTAND.

If we keep it a buck, Kobe is the "BUTWHADDA BOUT EMINEM" to LeBron's Nas and Jordan's Jay-Z.

Theres a handful of media members that show Kobe love but a lot of them seem bitter at the guy for some reason. ESPN always has these lists than has Kobe criminally low. He gets more love from players than media for sure.

Its funny Kobe has so many players in the league that are his sons, Kyrie shouted out Kobe after Game 7 shot, and then that college basketball chick was balling out about a month ago in the Final 4 and was shouting out Kobe, yet ESPN said Kobe wasnt even top 10 most influential. This entire generation of basketball players literally view clutch play through the lens of "Mamba Mentality", yet he's not influential :deadmanny:

Your first link is from fukking bleacher report and in the writeup, he calls Kobe the best player in the league. What are you trying to pull here?

Let’s just be real about jobs he is GREAT but not GOAT level great. Every single way you could slice pretty much every single stat (advanced or not) Mj/Bron is head and shoulders better. People see Kobe as diet MJ because of similar games, but can anyone point to what Kobe is better at than Bron at this point? Bron can fade, 3 point percentage similar (think Kobe has a sliver of an edge), rebounding Bron, assist Bron, fg% bron, clutch shooting (Bron and numbers don’t lie here). Logically speaking someone give me a reason as to why I’d want Kobe over other goat contenders (including Kareem as well)

In 2010, you stans were attacking Henry Abbott, John Hollinger, and Mike Breen. Abbott and Hollinger were just stat geeks with minimal roles and Breen never said anything controversial other than seeming a little smug when the Lakers were having a bad game. Who are the people in the media who were pushing LeBron to the top?

People like you tuned into ESPN every day to dikkride Skip Bayless.

Cause he is a worse version of a player that already came before him,

Why mention Kobe if you can just bring up MJ?
