Mark Jackson says Kobe will be the greatest player of all time

[GangstaBoogy]

I know yall saw this during halftime the other day!



Opinions?

Only time will tell

I think he lacks some things you need to be considered the GOAT... sympathy for a start lol. And a sublime team with him as the leader. And court vision. Maybe also shot selection. And him being a dreadful person after a big loss doesnt help either.. after such a loss, that is.

[CanadActive]

Are you serious about starting this tread...
Do you seriously think that someone who think that Micheal Jordan isn't the GOAT deserve that we talk about him??

[Black_Smoke]

lol @ scottie,he dont like those comparisons 1 bit

[rik]

Like someone above me said only time will tell. Scottie got butt hurt at that comment and he's wrong the Lakers are goin to get passed the first round.

[BAY_BOY_408]

I called this along time ago...

Mark Jack just hating cause Jordan schooled him time and time again   

[Juronimo]

Nothing against Mark Jackson but that's a ridiculous statement. I saw Kobe, Jordan, Bird and Magic play in their primes and Kobe is not as good as those guys in all around game, he just isn't and the reason why is upstairs. Kobe still makes very questionable decisions and lets his massive ego control the game too often, engaging in personal battles. Kobe is the best player in the game right now but best ever? You're talking about people like Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, people like that. That's a big claim.

If Kobe improves the mental aspect of his game, then maybe you can mention him in the same sentence as those legends. Time will tell.

Kobe is going to be top 10 all times, no doubt about it. Compared to Jordan, he will be up there too. But it's too early to call. Next year, if he blew out his knee and never plays again, we'll never know. I personally hope his called GOAT at the end of his career, and he had the chance. Jordan I think likes Kobe right now more than anybody, and Magic of course loves Kobe's game more than anybody. So time will tell.

Ridiculous statement? A ridiculous statement is that Kobe isn't mentally ready to be considered with Jordan, Bird, Magic and other greats. Kobe is still young...Jordan didn't become the player he was mentally until he was into his 30's. Remember how much criticism Jordan used to get on decision-making when he was younger? Not only that, but Kobe is by far more competitive and has a drive in him more so than anyone currently in the league...He's just on another level, and the game today is more athletic and off-the-ground, so for Kobe to be on another level and be doing what he's doing is something else. I think Kobe will DEFINITELY give Jordan a run for his money when his career is up...PeACe

[africas seed]

to early to tell. i think that kobe will end up being a better scorer than jordan but GOAT, its just to early.

[acbaylove]

To say he won't is stupid.
To say he will is stupid.
Like somebody said only time will tell.
The only thing for sure is that he'll be remembered as ONE OF THE greatests.
Let's wait and see how deep he'll go in the charts.

Who gives a fuck what Mark Jackson says.  why will he be the GOAT?  because of the season he is having this season?  i think he'll go down in history but GOAT.....don't think so.  As for the Lakers getting passed the first rebound is hard to say, but considering the Suns have a gang of injuries, the Lakers should advance.
