What are you basing that on?  Wilt was great, most consecutive games played, never fouled out of 1 game, highest scorer ever, but I would still say Jordan is best all around.  I didn't use to think that, until he returned from his retirement and cemented his legacy (the first time).  I'd say best ever would be like Jordan, Magic, Bird, Chamberlain, Jabbar, Maravich, in no order.

i cmopletely disagree man, no way...chamberlain was only famous because he scored 100 points in an nba game and also because heshad sex with prostitues over 1000 times...lol...as for kareem, he is a respected nba player but no way better than michael jordan...jordan was the best player ever, he averaged 32 points per game, and tahats a lot, plus hes generated opver 10 billion dollars towards the US economy, he is truly the man.

I think to be 'greatest player ever' then the person needs to be good in every element of the game.  There have been lots of players in history that can lead at one or two elements in their particular era but Jordan is the only one to master almost every one during his career.

Michael Jordan is the best...Just as Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA right now, not Shaq...Shaq might be the most dominating just as Wilt was but he is not the best...Wilt Chamberlain was a 50% free throw shooter...How is the best of alltime making only half of his free throws...Oh yeah Kobe will be the best of all time when his career is finished...

To ibo, all that info uve posted really doesn't matter, michael has proven to be a better player despite those total points, and those other things. He has been a great personality of inspiration on the international level, not only in america. Who knows mych about kareem than they do about jordan. Jordan is a  much better player overall. This is my opinion, you can think what ever u want. Remember that when Jordan was around, in the nba, his success was consistent, he had led the bulls to 6 championships in a row. THats a lot for a basketball player. None of those players uve mentioned can ever match jordan.

peace

the stats doesnt matter?? LMAO.. thats the funniest thing ive heard... so it doest matter that kareem and wilt scored more, blocked more and grabbed more rebounds that jordan... jordan is still the dopest?? .. its like saying that it doesnt matter that tim motgomrey broke the world record, stats dont matter, carl lewis is still the fastest guy, cuz "Who knows mych about motgomrey than they do about carl lewis"

lol... you're funny... no offense

so you mean that since "jordan" is a bigger name than "chamberlain", jordan must have been better?? ... lol...

better on what??

not scoring...
not defense
not field percentage...


tell me what jordan did better than wilt...

last time i checked the dictionary, "being the most dominant" was the same thing as "being the best"...

but lemme check again.. lol


Cammbrige Online Dictionary:
----------------------------------------
dominant
(adjective)
more important, strong, noticeable, etc. than anything else of the same type

with with other words can be described as "being the supperior" or BEING THE BEST



seems i was right... lol

Hmmm; What do your stats show, though?  We've got Jordan with the highest scoring avg. per game.  Jordan scoring COMPARABLY with all time points; he didn't beat them, but scored more per game, which is a better measure.  Wilt played for 20 some years, Jordan's been playing 17, I believe... Naturally Wilt would have more points, but Jordan has a higher point average per game.  Wilt has more rebounds... guess what? He's a CENTER.  Jordan isn't.  Wilt and Kareem should have more rebounds.  Also, while they have him on rebounds, he has them on steals, which usually turn into 2 points more times than not (usually Jordan or anybody who steals gets the fast break on the opposing team).  They've got him on blocks, but again they're 6 inches taller than him.  They're centers, they're supposed to block.  I guess you're saying their field goal percentage is higher, since you didn't mention michael, that is a measurable accomplishment, so I give them props for that.  I'd also like to see assist records, I would imagine Jordan leads them in that.  Remember Wilt played before the 3 second in the box rule too, he used to just stand under the basket and make everything they threw him, playing as the tallest in the N.B.A... that's how he scored a hundred points.  

I'd say Wilt has more of a claim to it then Kareem, but imo Jordan is a much better all around player.

Chamberlain is the reason the NBA ended zone defence after originally having it, he had the single most dominant GAME and SEASON in NBA history...he was a monster....he completely REDEFINED the league, it will never be the same, in his prime he was completely unstoppable

hmmm, not to test your basketball knowledge, but why would you lift a zone defense against a dominating center like chamberlain...? the nba just implemented a zone defense to stop shaq last year...no more illegal defense is allowed!!!! and btw jordan and wilt are close but I give the nod to jordan by a slight edge...and if anyone has any questions about a zone defense and its purpose, let me know( hint hint..stop a dominating inside force)

chamberlin was ahead of his time he was no better than what Alonzo Mourning is now......Great Great Player but not the best, Chamberlin was playing fools half his size so it was easy to dominate and do all the stuff he did, same for Bill Russle......the averag weight and heights of NBA players back in the days was no different than the national ht/wts.


Jordan is simply the best if he was playing in wilt's time period Jordan would've made bill russle and wilt chamberlin his 2nd and 3rd bannanas!

this is coming from someone who's disliked jordan for years too! the only player who can even come close to being up there with jordan is MAGIC JOHNSON


but if Kareem and Wilt are supposively the best players ever, that would mean Shaq IS or is going to be the best player ever becuase he's already being ranked as the all time greatest Center yo




anyways no matter how you flip it Jordan is simply the best you cannot take that away from him. the only people who can even come close to are Magic, and maybe Kobe 7 years from now but other than that--------------not even a chance

right before Wilt's Death he said in his prime not even he could stop Shaquille O'neal, this was in 1998 (9) before shaq had went into HIS prime and before he won a ring

wilt said that shaq was stronger, faster, agile, a better passer, and more unstoppable than him

10 years from now we will be saying Kobe Bryant is the best player ever in the NBA...That's if he stays healthy...And to dude who looked up the dictionary, this aint english 101 its basketball...Dominant is not the same as being the best...Dominant simply means you are overpowering players with your strength like Shaq does and Wilt did...You simply cannot be considered the best when you shoot 50% from the foul line as these dudes have done...Jordan and Kobe are all around players who can beat you via defense, offense, passing, rebounding and shooting over 80% from the line...

Duh.  It had to do with, maybe, him being the tallest in the N.B.A! If Shaq was the only 7 footer playing today, and there was zone defense, he's be just as dominant.

the 3 second rule dosent really help shaq, it helps players that like to drive to the basket......the 3 second rule is when a player cant stand in the painted area when  nobody else is there, otherwise he can..so if shaq is there they can have 4 guys around shaq and a 3 second rule will not be called

kobe in 10 years will not even be considered one of the top ten of all time....he's a second option on his team...not waisting my time on that one....statistically wilt was the best player....(come one the one year he averaged 50 and 20)...but you have to think...back than there were half as many teams, no three point line and all they did was dump it in to wilt all the time...playoffs were only two rounds two and wilt only won i think one championship and that was when he wasnt even the main option(jerry west was)...jordan is by far the greatest...he was surrounded my medicore players(pippen is so overrated)....and mj elevated his teammates to levels they normally wouldnt have played at...if mj wouldnt have played baseball we would be looking at like 8 straight..in an era where you have four rounds of play offs...

every important and albmost every other basketball analyst in the country/world (ex in sacramento lol) will tell you kobe is the best all around player most of which are not in cali.....so there goes all your arguments there guys


kobe has every thing offensively any of these other players (ex shaq) in the NBA have and he has DEFENSE TOO, something that almost every all star lacks , it's either or, the only other guard that has D and O is gary payton.....which should almost be argreed isn't even on the level as kobe, becuase he lacks the intenisty, heart, and will to win (kobe has won 3 straight championships and is INTENT on winning every single one til his death/retirement)  while gary payton has been to the finals once and doesn't really care about winning a championship that much any more it's all about the $ and individule accomplishments

kobe has matured RAPIDLY he is now all about his teamates and making them better now
kobe was exalted by EVERY GM in the NBA when the nba polled them


kobe is just simply the man now, after shaq and kobe squashed their beef kobe has prooved his hype, he can do EVERYTHING now , no one in the NBA can do what he does

DUNK

and the only reason why he's the 2nd option on his team is ......LOOOK WHO THE FUCK HE"S PLAYING WITH!!!!!!!! the soon to be if not the already G.O.A.T of all centers......the most dominating player EVER, the most DEMANDING PLAYER ever!!!! SHAQUILLE RASHAD O'NEAL!!!!! allen iverson tracy mcgrady paul pierce would ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl be averaging 13-15 points a game if they were playing with him. but Kobe has the ability to be 2nd banna for 3 quarters and come into the 4th and be the main option . 1 quarter folks ONE fucking quauter IF THAT! of being the main option and look at his averages. look at his full stat's . DUDE gets rebounds , assists, AND POINTS .


Kobe is a great player playing behind a GOAT folks if he was on the magic or the sixers or raptors his stock would be THAT much greater

Tech, u tha homie...but this is stupid dawg lol

Jordan is by far the best player the game has EVER seen. True, its hard to really compare these 2 since wilt and MJ play 2 different positions...but Wilts dominance was a DIRECT result of his size. Jordans wasnt. Not to mention, anybody who playz basketball on here...understandz the way skill level is divided on a basketball court. The taller u are, the less skill u need. Manute Bol neva pulled a crossover lol. Tha way sports go, as time moves on...people always get better. So this needs to be more an argument of "who was better for their time". 30 years from now, there will be a player who is better then Jordan. And all sports go that way. Muhammed Ali was the greatest, however...if u put him against alot of Heavyweights now...he'd lose. And i believe that. Atheletes always get stronger, faster, and quiker...as training techniques improve.

Now, for all of the people who are claiming that the best player of all time, has something to do wit versatility (especially in the stat section) need to remember tha Big O...and put him up for consideration. He was the ultimate point guard. And IMO, the best ever (YES, above MAGIC laker fanz). Who else has, or ever will average a triple double in this league? No one. As unreachable as Wilts 100 points seems...it COULD be done, but to average a triple double for an entire season, i dont think so.

Also, some of yall seem to think it has to do wit who revolutionized the game the most. Yes, Wilt did revolutionize the game VERY much. As much as anyone. But youre still forgetting some people...

One, being Dr J. He was the first...really...to turn the game above the rim (Dominique, Jordan, etc). Pete Marovich, was the first to bring the fancy passing to the game (Magic, etc.). And one person who i was alwayz a HUGE fan of but everyone seemz to overlook....iz Isiah Thomas. He changed the whole way the point guard position was played. IMO, even more then Magic did. Isiah was really the man who brought that flash wit tha handlez that EVERY guard of today triez tah exemplify.


Basically, i believe Jordan iz tha greatest ever. BUT.....its hard to really compare players of all different sizes, positions, and times in history. Theyll never play eachother...and even say, if Jordan, Wilt, and Oscar Robertson were all in the same time...they wouldnt even guard eachother.

every important and albmost every other basketball analyst in the country/world (ex in sacramento lol) will tell you kobe is the best all around player most of which are not in cali.....so there goes all your arguments there guys


kobe has every thing offensively any of these other players (ex shaq) in the NBA have and he has DEFENSE TOO, something that almost every all star lacks , it's either or, the only other guard that has D and O is gary payton.....which should almost be argreed isn't even on the level as kobe, becuase he lacks the intenisty, heart, and will to win (kobe has won 3 straight championships and is INTENT on winning every single one til his death/retirement)  while gary payton has been to the finals once and doesn't really care about winning a championship that much any more it's all about the $ and individule accomplishments

kobe has matured RAPIDLY he is now all about his teamates and making them better now
kobe was exalted by EVERY GM in the NBA when the nba polled them


kobe is just simply the man now, after shaq and kobe squashed their beef kobe has prooved his hype, he can do EVERYTHING now , no one in the NBA can do what he does

DUNK
PASS
DRIBBLE
HANDLE
CUT
SHOOT
MAKE SHOTS
CREATE SHOTS
D
MAKE TEAMMATES BETTER




and the only reason why he's the 2nd option on his team is ......LOOOK WHO THE FUCK HE"S PLAYING WITH!!!!!!!! the soon to be if not the already G.O.A.T of all centers......the most dominating player EVER, the most DEMANDING PLAYER ever!!!! SHAQUILLE RASHAD O'NEAL!!!!! allen iverson tracy mcgrady paul pierce would ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl be averaging 13-15 points a game if they were playing with him. but Kobe has the ability to be 2nd banna for 3 quarters and come into the 4th and be the main option . 1 quarter folks ONE fucking quauter IF THAT! of being the main option and look at his averages. look at his full stat's . DUDE gets rebounds , assists, AND POINTS .


Kobe is a great player playing behind a GOAT folks if he was on the magic or the sixers or raptors his stock would be THAT much greater

LMAO!!!

wow so you mean to tell me that YOUR insite is more valuable and true than basketball GM's and analysts who've been apart of basketball longer tha you've been alive!? you mean to tell me your opinion is more sacret than someoe who makes basketball their 9-5!?


excuse the fuck outta me then bud!

just wondering , who DO you put above kobe ??

Vince Carter is a nice highlight reel but what else does he do, he sure doesn't pass well, plays horrible d, can't make his teammates better, has a lack of will to win

Tracy Mccgrady is great, but even himself and all of his teammates (including horace grant whose playedwith both players for a year) said Kobe was better

Allen iverson, LOL......he's just a selfish, egotistical, b-ball gangster, who's already been shut down more than once by kobe over the years.....kobe's always been better than this guy, just look at the 97' rookie game if the west won kobe would've been the mvp

jason kidd, best PG in the League but he's just a passer, yeah he can score and shoot but he's not that reliablein those areas, he has good defence but the only thing he has over kobe is passing , Kobe dicks him in every other concievable stat.


Gary Payton- i give gary payton all the props in the world but i already pointed out why kobe is better

those are the best guards in the league ....they only get consecutively worse if you name any one else





and again Jordan is the best player of all time plain and simple

to bigfakedoggydogg:


it seems like laker fans go by  what other peeps think instead of forming your own opinion on whos the best player,...etc...you just proved that you don't know shit about basketball when you always have reliy on this so called GMs, lmao and stop using that as some sort of excuse to justify your hero kobe that he is the best when knowing that these so called analyst are biased and they are the same spectators just like me and you...use your brain dumbass

but neverthelesss,  you proved my point that kobe gets hyped 24/7...but i don't blame no one since he has won championships so he is bound to be hyped up all the time..

who do i think is better than kobe??? for starters payton, mcgrady, AI, kidd who all have led their teams to playoffs and for some even furter by themselves..whiles kobe , he can't even keep his team at .500..and you say he is the best player huh?? lmao..you kids need to learn nba isn't all about spectacular dunks and passes, etc. and btw those are just guards in the nba...don't get me started with all the nba players..

and you damn right jordan is one of the best ever..

again minority , most journalists , sports writers, Gernal mangagers , players, couches, columnists and fans will tell you that kobe is the best all around player in the league


Kobe Bryant can Shoot the ball
Kobe Bryant is the bet at creating shots
Kobe Bryant is the best Offensive minded player Defensively
Kobe Bryant can pass the ball....EFFECTIVELY
Kobe Bryanyt is the most intense player in the league


and all the other players you seem to think are better than kobe ALL, i repeat ALL have been shut down by him in games


Kobe gets his hype cuz he can and has backed it up


look at all the hype other players have been given.....and look what they've done with it ....nothing but get their teams to the 2nd or 1st round or not even to the playoffs at all, keven garnette can't get to the 2nd round, AI didn't last year either, Baron Davis showed  T-mac what was up now huh? jason kidd only got to the finals cuz he was playing in the sorry ass east (where most of your darling guards reside) and look what happened when he met up with the lakers, the sonics.....lol and so on none of these players have prooved anything but individule marrit


i'm sorry you hold up so much resentment and jelously towards the laker organization and any player from there, and i find it so funny that name T-mac ahead of kobe ....when T-mac has already said he's tried to model his game more after KB's LMAO.....oh yeah and everysingle one of those players have put kobe ahead of them too


also your a fool to diss Karl Malone and John Stockton......A FOOL


also i find it funnt that you said i only like kobe becuase he's all dunks and flashy passes when that's ALL your players are good for,LMAO. I hated kobe pre sqaushed beef with shaq that's all hewas doing was being an AI/Vince Carter/ kevin Garnette......but now he's matured beyond belief and made me  a fan


i also find it funny you can't give me a structured reason why all your players are better than kobe yet proceed to call me a kid  and stupid and resort to person takes like "bigfakedoggydogg"

when did kobe shut down any of these players??? please name a game when your hero kobe shut down these players and site a source

kobe gets his hype because he wins championships not cuz he can back it up...lmao..you completely ignored my arguement on how kobe can't even carry a team by himself....and yes your right..at least tmac, AI, kidd, payton can carry their team to the playoffs by himself..you know what i'll forever kiss kobes ass if he can carry his team to the 8th seed of the playoffs by himself...

and you said these players said they model after kobe??? LMAO!!! please don't lie..yes they gave him props..but don't exaggerate like that

and NO..john stockton and karl malone is one of the greatest players that ever played...BUT NOT CHAMPIONS...don't put words in my mouth

and all of my players are only good for dunks and flashy passes?? LMAO!! hmm. lets see...jason kidd AVERAGED A TRIPLE DOUBLE during the conference finals, gary payton at 34(?) can carry his sorry ass team by himself to the playoffs in the WEST..both mcgrady and iverson can score, pass, play defensive, and most importantly, can carry their sorry ass team to the playoffs...which kobe has never done...not alone can't even keep his team at 500..lmao...the truth always hurts...



oh yeah i find it funny how you have to call me a biggot when you don't even know me and try to change subjects cuz you can't give me one good reason why kobe is the best player in the league..well kid...keep hiding behind the screen cuz thats what your good for..

great post man... Yo if Kobe is SUCH a better player then all these other guards bigJake is runnin off then how come T-Mac, who I think is better then KOBE (sorry for not being an NBA analyst ::)) then how come....


T-Mac is at 30.4 Points a Game (easily leading the league by almost 4 points)

Kobe is averaging 26.7 (third in the league)

T-Mac is shooting a .468% shooting percentage (his highest ever since he's been in the league)

while Kobe is shooting a .441% shooting percentage (his lowest since his second year in the league 97-98)

T-Mac is shooting 394% from 3 point (once again his highest ever since he's been in the league)

while Kobe is shooting .316 from 3 point...

Blocks per game T-Mac is averaging 1.00

Kobe is at .88 a game...

and you wanna talk about how Kobe can carry his team blah blah thru the playoffs... how come Kobe's points per game goes way down in the playoffs too 20.8, while T-Mac's playoff average is at a steady 28.0?

Anyways, just a few things I wanted to point out to these people that are SO SURE Kobe is the best in the league hands down!, lmao...

Peace

im tryna figure out who in tha world would say Kobe can carry his team through the playoffs??? He hasnt yet. He hasnt even "carried" them to a winning record this year lol. When Shaq goes out, the Lakers turn into an average team. Seeing as how Kobe is "The Best in the NBA"...its funny that he isnt even the most valuable on his own team lol I actually like Kobe's game...i aint a Laker fan, but i do respect his game. Ive only knocked his attitude in tha past. BUT, in no way is he the best in the league. Maybe he'll become that, but he isnt right now.

BTW yall, u cant argue wit Laker fans about this shit. They sumwhat outta touch with reality sometimes. Theyll tell u, the best player in the league is Kobe, Shaq is the second, Rick Fox is 3rd, Robert Horry 4th......etc...lol. Then again, 90% of Laker fans cant name more then 1 or 2 players on their team. Usually they jus females who like the pretty purple and gold lol

easy!

Tmac is the First option on his team, Tmac might have all that but niether him nor his team mates think he's better than kobe. Tmac is the only player as talented as kobe but he lacks the disaplin and the teammanship .....Horace Grant said this and i think he'd know what he is talking about. like i said above if anyone else was playing with shaq they wouldn't be getting the #'s that kobe is getting straight up


Yoa Ming was leading Shaq in a few stats earlier in the season , Does that make him better than Shaq?! lol no! he was getting better stats than Vlade Divac and David Robinson.....is he better than them, HELL FUCKING NO! he's not even the best rookie , Stodimire from Pheonix is right now. Stats don't tell the whole story bud

ummmmmmm nope, none of them can do ALL of those things
Tmac is a shooter, defense is mediocre and isn't a very effective passer

Kidd is a passer , he can get points here and there but more times than not when he's the leading scorer and not passing his team does't get the W

AI, is a ball hog straight up, he has D .......every 5 games , and his passing is ineffective, Larry Brown and eric snow had to work with him on that as a matter of fact,lol

NBA finals 2001 -AI and the laker home game in same year and 2000 against sixers

T-mac-any game between 99-2002, first meet of this year was great both players equaled eachother but Tracy had back probs and knee probs and Kobe had Knee, ankle , elbow and lower leg probs, and Tmac barely played the 2nd meet so i can't count this season

oh yeah kobe isn't my 'hero'......shaq/Magic/Barkley/Moses Malone are

you know what the very fact that Kobe has championships
should say it all but since you're too heated  i'll explain

like i've said amillion times the Lakers as a WHOLE organization is based around Shaquille O'neals Needs. just like Chicago Based everything around Jordan's. Just like the Celtics did for Russle....just like any Great Main Option gets from his organization. Shaq is the Laker's Crown jewel. even Kobe is a compliment to Shaq, when Jerry west was putting this organization together back in 96' this is what they were doing. Getting Shaq and meeting his needs to get the rings. that's what every GM tries to do. Kobe just rose to superstardome.....when he was traded in the draft they though kobe was going to be the perfect back up to eddie jones , they were going for bench depth. but it turned out he was better than all the shooting guards in the organization (this is what they're doing with kareem rush[depth that is not superstar btw]). SO when Orlando's GM is making moves this season it's all to complement T-mac to make his life better and to make it easy for him to score. in Philly that's what their GM is trying to do make life easier for AI, so he can get the open looks. when NJ's GM makes moves for Jason kidd they're doing it to get players that jason kidd can get to make shots for him. In LA it's all about Shaq and getting his needs , we already saw in 99 and 2000 when they tried to meet BOTH kobe and shaq's demands ,Chaos. And Shaq would  NOT have it ! or take then step down to let kobe be the main option and play in a team built around hiiiiim! This is what shaq and kobe were bitching about during their fued.  So Kobe had to take the step down and let Shaq take total control of the team, and kobe's time to score is whenever shaq's not (which is not a lot btw lol) and at the end of the 4th quarter. So my answer to you is.......Kobe can't lead his team anywhere cuz he's not the Main guy! the team isn't based around him, he doen't have a cushion like every other superstar in the league! Kobe would anywhere else but he's playing on the same team as the most demanding player in HISTORY

and NO..john stockton and karl malone is one of the greatest players that ever played...BUT NOT CHAMPIONS...don't put words in my mouth
actually they are sir, back to back western confrence champions...

and i'd like to know what context that anouncer siad that in aswell

Quote
and all of my players are only good for dunks and flashy passes?? LMAO!! hmm. lets see...jason kidd AVERAGED A TRIPLE DOUBLE during the conference finals, gary payton at 34(?) can carry his sorry ass team by himself to the playoffs in the WEST..both mcgrady and iverson can score, pass, play defensive, and most importantly, can carry their sorry ass team to the playoffs...which kobe has never done...not alone can't even keep his team at 500..lmao...the truth always hurts

yeah and kobe probably has the most triple double in the league right now,so what......who won the championship?

yeah , my bad i didn't know that the sonic were sorry.....lol this just shows your ignorance seattle is a damn good team with lots of talent, i love payton !but he's never gotten nowhere in the play offs , 95' they got to the finals true, but it was becuase of shawn kemp, gary payton's game went down like you said kobe's did during that post season. and the sonics almost released GP last season becuase he didn't want to play with his teammates, he wanted to play individual ball, and he siad it himself.

tracy mcgrady has been 2 what 2 playoff's and lost both of the series when they SHOULD've won   they SHOULD've beat the sixers but he didn't come through. they COULD"VE beat the hornets last year but didn't becuase he couldn't come through. while he was busy trying to win all the games by himself he was ignoring his teammates resulting in a loss

Jason Kidd coiuldn't even win a playoff series until he was put on a very loaded New Jersey nets team

and like i siad above these players have cushioins they're whole team is based around them and their play.......kobe doesn't have that luxiory.....and if he did it'd be DAMN interesting to see theonly time Kobe has had that is during all those all star games, and i'd pretty much say kobe put alllll those all stars on his back last year , you don't go into an ALLLL STARRRRRR game and do all the stuff kobe did and not be considered above those players.



yeah the lakers are below .500 but we started off in a bad bad way, most of our line up is nursing injuries, kinda hard to win when you're racked up, but hey we're getting back


Quote
oh yeah i find it funny how you have to call me a biggot when you don't even know me and try to change subjects cuz you can't give me one good reason why kobe is the best player in the league..well kid...keep hiding behind the screen cuz thats what your good for..


i find it funny how you are quick to diss by calling me big fake and dumb amongst other things about me and havn't even gone into as much detail as me  but insist i'm that what you say is the truth when you make ignorant statements like the sonics are a sorry ass team. but  hey i'm just glad i'm not as insecure as you and have to diss everyone who disagrees with me so bullegerantly with statements like ^.....


Quote
lol^^typical start to a Jake argument...

i would agree that Kobe is probably the best 2 guard in the league....but best player, i dunno bout that.   lol

you damn right i start off with the facts


and thank you yes kobe is the best shooting guard in the league

i already know who you think is the best player (Duncan) which i can't hate and is a respectable opinion

its truly sad...you mean most journalists , sports writers, Gernal mangagers , players, couches, columnists and fans FROM LA will tell you that kobe is the best all around player in the league right?? lmao don't joke!!

yeah i know kobe can shoot, pass the ball and create shots so what your fucking point?? tmac, payton, kidd, AI can do the same if not better

when did kobe shut down any of these players??? please name a game when your hero kobe shut down these players and site a source

kobe gets his hype because he wins championships not cuz he can back it up...lmao..you completely ignored my arguement on how kobe can't even carry a team by himself....and yes your right..at least tmac, AI, kidd, payton can carry their team to the playoffs by himself..you know what i'll forever kiss kobes ass if he can carry his team to the 8th seed of the playoffs by himself...

and you said these players said they model after kobe??? LMAO!!! please don't lie..yes they gave him props..but don't exaggerate like that

and NO..john stockton and karl malone is one of the greatest players that ever played...BUT NOT CHAMPIONS...don't put words in my mouth

*about to watch AI kill the dallas mavs*


great post man... Yo if Kobe is SUCH a better player then all these other guards bigJake is runnin off then how come T-Mac, who I think is better then KOBE (sorry for not being an NBA analyst ::)) then how come....


T-Mac is at 30.4 Points a Game (easily leading the league by almost 4 points)

Kobe is averaging 26.7 (third in the league)

T-Mac is shooting a .468% shooting percentage (his highest ever since he's been in the league)

while Kobe is shooting a .441% shooting percentage (his lowest since his second year in the league 97-98)

T-Mac is shooting 394% from 3 point (once again his highest ever since he's been in the league)

while Kobe is shooting .316 from 3 point...

Blocks per game T-Mac is averaging 1.00

Kobe is at .88 a game...

and you wanna talk about how Kobe can carry his team blah blah thru the playoffs... how come Kobe's points per game goes way down in the playoffs too 20.8, while T-Mac's playoff average is at a steady 28.0?

Anyways, just a few things I wanted to point out to these people that are SO SURE Kobe is the best in the league hands down!, lmao...

Peace  


easy!

Tmac is the First option on his team, Tmac might have all that but niether him nor his team mates think he's better than kobe. Tmac is the only player as talented as kobe but he lacks the disaplin and the teammanship .....Horace Grant said this and i think he'd know what he is talking about. like i said above if anyone else was playing with shaq they wouldn't be getting the #'s that kobe is getting straight up


Yoa Ming was leading Shaq in a few stats earlier in the season , Does that make him better than Shaq?! lol no! he was getting better stats than Vlade Divac and David Robinson.....is he better than them, HELL FUCKING NO! he's not even the best rookie , Stodimire from Pheonix is right now. Stats don't tell the whole story bud




anybody else that would be playing with shaq wouldn't be putting the # like kobe is???? LMAO....yo first of all, stop contradicting yourself....its you who said stats don't even matter and also you said tmac is talented as kobe...but in the next post you said tmac only has offensive, is not a good passer, and lacks D??? lmao..kid just give up..you don't know jack about basketball..

btw yao ming is the shit....

wow geez i didn't know Dr. Jack Ramsey was based in LA ::)

Quote
ummmmmmm nope, none of them can do ALL of those things
Tmac is a shooter, defense is mediocre and isn't a very effective passer

Kidd is a passer , he can get points here and there but more times than not when he's the leading scorer and not passing his team does't get the W

AI, is a ball hog straight up, he has D .......every 5 games , and his passing is ineffective, Larry Brown and eric snow had to work with him on that as a matter of fact,lol
Quote
when did kobe shut down any of these players??? please name a game when your hero kobe shut down these players and site a source


NBA finals 2001 -AI and the laker home game in same year and 2000 against sixers

T-mac-any game between 99-2002, first meet of this year was great both players equaled eachother but Tracy had back probs and knee probs and Kobe had Knee, ankle , elbow and lower leg probs, and Tmac barely played the 2nd meet so i can't count this season

oh yeah kobe isn't my 'hero'......shaq/Magic/Barkley/Moses Malone are



Quote



you know what the very fact that Kobe has championships
should say it all but since you're too heated  i'll explain

like i've said amillion times the Lakers as a WHOLE organization is based around Shaquille O'neals Needs. just like Chicago Based everything around Jordan's. Just like the Celtics did for Russle....just like any Great Main Option gets from his organization. Shaq is the Laker's Crown jewel. even Kobe is a compliment to Shaq, when Jerry west was putting this organization together back in 96' this is what they were doing. Getting Shaq and meeting his needs to get the rings. that's what every GM tries to do. Kobe just rose to superstardome.....when he was traded in the draft they though kobe was going to be the perfect back up to eddie jones , they were going for bench depth. but it turned out he was better than all the shooting guards in the organization (this is what they're doing with kareem rush[depth that is not superstar btw]). SO when Orlando's GM is making moves this season it's all to complement T-mac to make his life better and to make it easy for him to score. in Philly that's what their GM is trying to do make life easier for AI, so he can get the open looks. when NJ's GM makes moves for Jason kidd they're doing it to get players that jason kidd can get to make shots for him. In LA it's all about Shaq and getting his needs , we already saw in 99 and 2000 when they tried to meet BOTH kobe and shaq's demands ,Chaos. And Shaq would  NOT have it ! or take then step down to let kobe be the main option and play in a team built around hiiiiim! This is what shaq and kobe were bitching about during their fued.  So Kobe had to take the step down and let Shaq take total control of the team, and kobe's time to score is whenever shaq's not (which is not a lot btw lol) and at the end of the 4th quarter. So my answer to you is.......Kobe can't lead his team anywhere cuz he's not the Main guy! the team isn't based around him, he doen't have a cushion like every other superstar in the league! Kobe would anywhere else but he's playing on the same team as the most demanding player in HISTORY



ummmm no actually the players i mentioned above CAN do those things..you obviously haven't read my post..i'm not about to write all that shit again..

AI got shut down in the 2001 finals? by kobe?? LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG that was the funniest thing i've ever read...you either are seriously ignorant or got kobe's dick in ya mouth....just cuz the sixers lost..doesn't mean AI got shut down when 4 out of the 5 final games that he played he had a superb game....except for game 3 i think.....and when in 2000 did AI got shut down??? like i said come with a source....

youre right about kobe vs tmac though...every time they played they were injured or not playing...

just by how you talk about kobe...everybody gets the impression that kobe is your hero lmao

and yes kobe gets his hype from winning championships....its not that hard to figure out amigo..and LMAO at your excuse on why kobe can't led his team by himself....i'll put it like this...kobe has good role players, best coaching staff, probably about the same as what what jkidd, tmac, AI, GP has...i mean what more can you ask for??? face it man kobe is not better than these 4 players...i'm not saying he is whack...he is def good but not better..i mean if kobe is soo good like you say...he shouldn't be the 2nd option and he should at least be carrying his team when shaq is injured..but he can never do that..

like i said before i'm not about to believe a laker fan cuz they have the tendency to lie..please give me a source and i'll believe that tmac actually said this

western conference champions??? lmao...i mean nba champions..it was marv albert(your another hero) and doug collins who has said stockton and malone were champions btw

kobe wins championships cuz he has shaq..plain and simple

sonics are sorry as fuck who they have lewis?? berry?? mason??lmao come on man.....in 2-3 years sonic could be a good team but not now..

btw orlando magic played BUCKS not SIXERS in the playoffs..lmao...i'm sorry for keep exposing your ignorance but i have no choice...

jkidd when he was with the suns he still managed to led them to the playoffs...

my fucking point is that they proven they are better than kobe cuz they have something kobe doesn't have..leadership and carrying their team on their backs...and how the fuck they have cushions when since they are the main options for their team....when they lose...all the blame is on them..its called pressure....face the facts....and oh yeah ball hogging 90% of the time during the all-star game to get 31 points doesn't make you the best....

and trust me, ain't nobody dissed you...calling you bigfake cuz you know i always refer you to that  and youre the one who calls me biggot so whatever....another contradiction by bigfakedoggydogg... :-\

me insecure?? umm actually i'm having the time of my life...while you go on to this message board and calls people biggot, hypocrite, etc. etc. ...maybe its time for you to look in the mirror...i know i know...its hard since your uglyer than krs-one and have a million pimples but you gotta..

ignores ignorant chink and answers smooth

go to NBA.com

they had a whole article on KOBE VS MCGrady around the same time as their first meet, they made it seem like a draw but they pointed out a lot of stuff that made sense.

They interviewed horoce grant and he said that , and i think they got both kobe and mcgrady to answer (not sure though cuz i'm there's another article i'm thinking of too that was on espn.com) but anyways yeah, Horoce Grant would know if anyone, i think he's the only player to play with both of them and make a fair statement

also on the D thing they (nba.com and nbc too) did a whole matchup thing with Vince Carter and Tracy MCgrady and they both had "marginal D" as one of their simularities.....i know this isn't very persuasive argument but also on the 99-2003 NBA lives tracy mcgrady's D isn't that high

and as far as bringing down the star player.....teammates do itall the time,lol

AI did it to his coach and visa versa
Oakly called out Vince Carter, and a few players were pissed at him for going to his college graduation on the same day as game 7 of the E Cong Finals
someone on the Nets (kittles i believe) criticized Marbury
Brian grant got called out on the heat
the whole laker organization was pissed off on and off at kobe for a few years
Rasheed Wallace
and yadda yadda yadda

it's done all the time to motivate and critique a player to do better, most ...no ALL coaches do this


and MCgrady being the first option has everything to do with his stats

1) the whole team is basically built around his needs as the first option so it's easier to do his job. The Laker's  do this for Shaq, not kobe

2) Tmac has 3.5-4 quarters that he has the ball go soley through him. when the point guard calls a play more times than not it's for Tmac. Shaq gets this on the lakers (not right now cuz they're slowly moving him though the triangle which is also strong with  a center like shaq) so most of the shots go to him....no kobe, kobe is only the main option when shaq is resting on the bench or in the 4th quarter ...........Tmac 4 quarters......Kobe 1 you do the math



Until Kobe is on a team that is built around him (not shaq)
Until Kobe is the team's first option for a whole season


you can't compare their stats


perfect exaple is Tmac himself when he was in Toronto.....the raptors are and were Carter based while he was there, and Mcgrady was just in the back ground, and it's no question (IMO at least) that Tmac was the better of the 2 cousins, but this was Vinces team! Mcgrady had to proove himself on another team which he did.

another spin off

North Carolina with Anton Jamison and Vince Carter. During that draft it was alllllll about Anton Jamison the "NCAA PLAYER OF THE YEAR" ....UNC was alllllll about Anton Jamison and vince was great but he was just living in the shadow........guess who was the better player


see you can't compare stats unless you got an even playing field

easy?... man how the hell does McGrady being the first option change his shooting %, 3 Point %? there both better then Kobe's and that has NOTHING to do with first option bullshit... and also McGrady having mediocre defense? LMAO!, Jake you gotta be kidding me bro... PLEASE tell me which "Expert" says McGrady's D is Mediocre?... and which teammate's of McGrady say Kobe's better then McGrady? I find it hard to believe that someone ON Mcgrady's team would bring down there star player and say Kobe's the better player...holla back


Peace


ignores ignorant chink and answers smooth

go to NBA.com

they had a whole article on KOBE VS MCGrady around the same time as their first meet, they made it seem like a draw but they pointed out a lot of stuff that made sense.

They interviewed horoce grant and he said that , and i think they got both kobe and mcgrady to answer (not sure though cuz i'm there's another article i'm thinking of too that was on espn.com) but anyways yeah, Horoce Grant would know if anyone, i think he's the only player to play with both of them and make a fair statement

also on the D thing they (nba.com and nbc too) did a whole matchup thing with Vince Carter and Tracy MCgrady and they both had "marginal D" as one of their simularities.....i know this isn't very persuasive argument but also on the 99-2003 NBA lives tracy mcgrady's D isn't that high

and as far as bringing down the star player.....teammates do itall the time,lol

AI did it to his coach and visa versa
Oakly called out Vince Carter, and a few players were pissed at him for going to his college graduation on the same day as game 7 of the E Cong Finals
someone on the Nets (kittles i believe) criticized Marbury
Brian grant got called out on the heat
the whole laker organization was pissed off on and off at kobe for a few years
Rasheed Wallace
and yadda yadda yadda

it's done all the time to motivate and critique a player to do better, most ...no ALL coaches do this


and MCgrady being the first option has everything to do with his stats

1) the whole team is basically built around his needs as the first option so it's easier to do his job. The Laker's  do this for Shaq, not kobe

2) Tmac has 3.5-4 quarters that he has the ball go soley through him. when the point guard calls a play more times than not it's for Tmac. Shaq gets this on the lakers (not right now cuz they're slowly moving him though the triangle which is also strong with  a center like shaq) so most of the shots go to him....no kobe, kobe is only the main option when shaq is resting on the bench or in the 4th quarter ...........Tmac 4 quarters......Kobe 1 you do the math



Until Kobe is on a team that is built around him (not shaq)
Until Kobe is the team's first option for a whole season


you can't compare their stats


perfect exaple is Tmac himself when he was in Toronto.....the raptors are and were Carter based while he was there, and Mcgrady was just in the back ground, and it's no question (IMO at least) that Tmac was the better of the 2 cousins, but this was Vinces team! Mcgrady had to proove himself on another team which he did.

another spin off

North Carolina with Anton Jamison and Vince Carter. During that draft it was alllllll about Anton Jamison the "NCAA PLAYER OF THE YEAR" ....UNC was alllllll about Anton Jamison and vince was great but he was just living in the shadow........guess who was the better player


see you can't compare stats unless you got an even playing field

Post by: Smooth on January 06, 2003, 09:30:08 PM
it wouldn't let me post it all in 1 post^^^^

Alright Jake you definitly got some good points there... especially with that McGrady Carter thing... I totally agree that McGrady was the better cousin... and your right he did have to prove himself on a new team because the Ratoprs were Vince's team and built around Vince...and as for the star player thing thanks for stating some examples I had somewhat forgot about most of them but they refresh my memory now...

also I was taking into effect that McGrady had Hill playing with him so that might have brought the amount of looks he would get down... but still, I do see what your saying about the lakers and how there team is built around Shaq... that definitly does limit Kobe a lot more as to what he can do offensively... BUT the one thing I still stand on is that no matter who the team is built around... if McGrady is hitting more shots % wise then Kobe, then he's hitting more shots... cause I don't think anything else can really play into that?... and as for the defense IMO they are BOTH well above average defenders and usually give whoever there covering nightmares... holla...

Shaq has never been name to a 1st team all-defense

He's never led the NBA in Rebounds or block shots..

He's only led the NBA in scoring 1 time.

He won't finish his career in the top 5 all-time  in Blocks Per Game, Rebounds per game...total blocks, & total rebounds.

It Took a great player like kobe for his monkey ass to win championships...Shak's never been clutch..

Am i missing anything ???  ..the guy is the most over-rated player in NBA History...Yeah he's great but people are always saying (including shaq himself) that he's the MDE(most dominate  Ever)  <--------  :laugh: :laugh:  ::)  fuckin idiots.

They are all better than Jordan. And Kobe can do anything Jordan could (and in some cases do it better). Only problem is, Kobe never got a fair chance to prove that due to a certain cry baby on his team. The last 2 seasons are kind of like Kobe's first and second season. Once the Lakers finally get their team complete Kobe is gonna get a couple more rings.

Till then, enjoy this...

Hell yeah don't act like Kobe was loved. Even tho he had McDonalds & Sprite commercials he always got hatted on. And he NEVER got as many calls as Wade got. He still doesn't get as many calls as Wade gets today.

I agree. Wilt was the most "Dominant" player of all time...for his era. But The difference between him and Jordan is that you could put Jordan in todays era, and he'd STILL be the best player in the NBA. Wilt wouldnt.
