Ya'll try to dismiss Kobe as if he hasn't had a better career than 98% of all NBA players in history. The only players who have a definitely accomplished more than Kobe in the history of the NBA are Jordan, Kareem but who else can you say has a definite better career?
Kobe had a goat run from 05-10. In that 5 year span:
2 Rings
2 finals MVPS
3 straight trips to the finals in the West

2 finals mvps
1 regular season mvp
2 scoring titles
1 gold medal
Averaged 35 in a season, multiple 40ppg months
1 80 point game
5 60 point games
19 50 point games
71 40 point games
Playoff average of 30, 6 and 6
Kobe beat more 50 win teams from 08-10 than Lebron has in his entire career

Don't disrespect the Gawd
