Kobe...
teecee:
Its fucked up cuz I started this thread as a compliment to Kobe...but certain Kobe stans gotta get offended by that, and try to prove he is the best ever.
Jordan once averaged over 40 in the finals
Another time he put up 31, 11 assists, and 7 boards for averages
Another time 35, 6, and 5
Jordan scored 13 fg in a row (including the signature lay-up) against L.A.
You saw his last finals game, right?
Jordan went to six finals, won 6 MVPs...no one will EVER fuck with that.
Kobe will really have his work cut ot fro him...I would say Kobe right now is SUPERIOR to the player he was during the first three titles, and even last year. But its gonna take a lot to usneat the god.

When Kobe was younger he tried to run his teams show all the time too sometimes hurting them. LeBron does the same thing. You can't compare the two until LeBron gets at least one or two rings.

the only players who can compare in the terms of winning are Bill Russell and Robert Horry lol.

lol at stats, what about in terms of skills, clutch, taking over games, being the finisher, and being the best.
its either going to be kobe or mj
none of those old school guys come close to kobe or MJ in terms of being the best player. but MJ didnt even play against a d-wade, lebron james, chris paul, the NBA has much more talent right now than they ever did.
lebron doesnt come close, this guys overrated i wouldnt be suprised if he joins the t-mac/grant hill club by the end of the career.

I wouldnt use the level of competition as an argument FOR Kobe. It would actually hurt considering the league has turned SO much more into an offensive league geared towards allowing players to score at will or get to the line. Jordan was playing against bruising defenses where it was ok to simply knock people on their ass. Kobe would seriously curl up in a little ball and cry if he had to see Oakley, Mason or even Starks every year in the playoffs lol. Artest woudl be the soft player on those old Knicks teams.
The problem is, Kobe stans like to use stats to argue...but then when the stats go the other way they try to pretend as if stats dont matter.
You cant measure "skill" when you are talking about best EVER, because skill levels of players ALWAYS improves from generation to generation. If you took Wilt for example....Dwight Howard is more SKILLED then he ever was. And Dwight isnt that skilled by todays standards. But you would NEVER say that Howard is as great as Wilt. Different age of Basketball. You can only compare a players skill...for THEIR time. And Jordan was head and shoulders above the rest of the league. There were NEVER any questions as to whether he was the best basketball player in the world. Kobe is constantly in the midst of a debate as to whether he is the best player in the NBA right now. If you were watchin basketball during Jordans era, no one ever said that anyone else was the best. As a matter of face, Jordan was already considered the greatest all time before his career was over. Thats why Kobe can never be on his level.
