"He amazes me," Nick Van Exel says. "I see him every day, and he still amazes me."
He gets into the game, and you just look at him," Eddie Jones says. "Every play, you look at him and you wonder, 'What's next?'
Tracy McGrady was just out in LA with me, stayed at my house for a couple weeks.... He was supossed to stay at a hotel. One night, he was at my house and my mother was cooking dinner. We were just hanging out, having a good time. Next thing i knew, he was at my house for the next two weeks. It was as if we were related." Says Tracy, "I look at Kobe as my older brother. I learn a lot from him because of what he's gone through."
"I just wanted to make sure Kobe didn't dominate me. It was a good battle. It was fun. He attacked," Jordan said. "The hype was me vs. him. I knew I wasn't 100 percent and he was, and he was biting at the bit. I was just glad that I was able to fight him off.... He attacked. You know, I like his attitude." – bulls vs lakers 98
As easy as God gives it to you, he can take it away from you, " he says. " What I'm doing right now is cool, but you have to touch people in a positive way. The Lord has blessed me with the ability to play basketball. It's bigger than putting a ball in a hoop. You're not just out there to show case your skills in front of millions of people. That's just the icing on the cake. That's how I see it." - Kobe Bryant
“I see a lot of myself in him. No doubt about it.”
—Michael Jordan
“He has the ability to take the game over.”
—Derek Fisher
Kobe’s a model of what a young player should aspire to be. Year by year he learned and made his game more solid, and now he’s not just a highlight-film guy but an accomplished NBA player.”
—Larry Brown, Philadelphia head coach
"Obviously, it's devastating for a situation like this to happen," said Detroit forward Tayshaun Prince after Game 2's loss. "One of the greatest winning players in the game made a shot that he does on a regular basis, so we can't hold our heads down about this one even though we should have won the basketball game. We gotta go back home and face a tough Laker steam that plays just as hard on the road as they do at home."
I told Kobe that he was my idol," O'Neal said. "I'm serious. He's playing phenomenal. I think he's the best player in the league, by far."
"I don't know man," Bryant said. "I'm just a little guard. I try to steal some of his post moves, but they don't seem to have the same powerful effect as when he does it."
Horace Grant kept referring to Bryant as "No. 23," the number Jordan wore. It wasn't a mistake.
"I knew what I was saying," Grant said.
"That's where I've been trying to get him all year," O'Neal said. "He's been getting his points, getting everybody involved, drawing and kicking, doing the right things. Somebody once said the mark of a great player is how you make the other players around you play. I now can truly say that Kobe Bryant is the best player in this league."
O'Neal: "I need Kobe and he needs me. Simple as that. Tougher for the rest of the league for them to beat both of us."
"He looked wonderful," said James, who added nine assists and eight rebounds. "You didn't see him go down the middle and dunk? He looked great. I loved having him back. You always want to compete against the very best. That's my favorite player in the game."
The Lakers (18-14) don't have the same aura they once had.
"Of course not," James said. "They can never get back to that without Shaq and Phil (Jackson). They still have a quality team. They have the best player in basketball."
"Kobe, in my opinion, is the best player in the NBA," he said. "But
whenever you play against a guy like that you have to double him, you have to get the ball out of his hands, you have to make him do the things he doesn't want to do." –marbury
"Kobe has a fire in his eyes like he wants to be the best," said Jamal
Crawford. "You can really see it."
Bryant is a better all-around player than Jordan. "Kobe has developed an identity that's his own," Jackson says. "At one time he wanted to be the gunslinger who comes into town and knocks out Wyatt Earp. Now he's pursuing goals that are much more mature."
"Being the best player in the league really doesn't matter to me, because I think it all boils down to winning," McGrady says. "So it doesn't really matter whether I'm the best or second best. I feel that if I'm in the NBA Finals and competing with a guy like kobe and win then you can compare me, But until then theres no comparison.”n a conversation about Bryant, Jordan said, “I don’t take it negatively.” And, when asked if he sees the similarities between
San Antonio’s Kerr said: “He’s the closest thing to MJ I’ve ever seen. Of course, MJ didn’t have a Shaq to play with him, which actually makes what Kobe did even more impressive. He even sounds like Michael in his interviews, doesn’t he?”
“There’s no question he borrowed some of Michael’s moves,” said Turner Sports analyst Kenny Smith, who played with Jordan at North Carolina. “A lot of guys try to borrow moves, but it doesn’t mean they can actually do them under pressure. Kobe knows when to do them and, lately, when not to.”
"Kobe was incredible," said Tim Duncan. "It seemed like he made every shot out there."
Steve Kerr said. "That's what Michael always used to do. A team starts to come back and make a run, especially in their home building, the fans get behind them, then all of a sudden 'bam,' he just sucks the life out of the place. That's what Kobe is doing."
In a conversation about Bryant, Jordan said, “I don’t take it negatively.” And, when asked if he sees the similarities between himself and Kobe, Jordan said: “Oh, yeah. Yes. I’m looking at his post-up game and the way when his jump shot isn’t falling he goes to the hole, or does what he needs to do to get himself to the foul line. And I like that he takes the game very, very seriously. Now obviously I didn’t play with that dominant inside player like he has in Shaq. And it’s different for him in that he has to be more patient, playing with Shaq. But you know what I’ve noticed, in terms of the difference between him this year and last year, or even earlier this year? He’s not chasing the game as much. With that much talent, you don’t need to chase it. But obviously, there will be comparisons from here on out between Kobe and me, just as there were between me and Dr. J when I first came into the league.”
“Compromise,” Jordan says. “And maturity. The kid is 22 years old, right? He’s going to make mistakes. I did. He’s willing to learn. I don’t think anybody questions that."
Oh, you mean Kobe Jordan?" Laker forward Horace Grant said. "I'm on the bench," said Grant, "I'm 35 years old. I'm a big fan. He's moving the ball, making the shots, not being intimidated by 7-footers. And he's only 22. That's frightening."

"That was perhaps the greatest streak shooting I have ever seen in my life," said Lakers coach Phil Jackson, who has coached nine NBA championship teams — six in Chicago and three with the Lakers. –After kobes 3-point record setting night
“He has already done legendary things on the court,” Tomjanovich said of Bryant at his first news conference as Lakers coach Saturday. “I truly believe he has a chance to become the greatest player ever to play the game.”
Larry Bird, who choreographed a few such dreamscapes of his own, called it something else. "Awesome," said Larry Legend. "We were there, but we really weren't there," added Bird, whose Pacers now
face an irretrievable 3-1 deficit entering Friday's Game 5. "Every shot was, you know, all net. I mean, it wasn't even close."
David Robinson (SAS): “At the end of (of the game) they have Kobe Bryant, that’s kind of a nice luxury.”
I thought Kobe had Ruben by a step, so I stepped up to close off the lane," Pippen said. "Kobe's a great player and great players make great plays.
He was shooting over people, he was shooting around people, and they were going in," Carter said. "It's hard to guard somebody when he's feeling it. For 10 straight, he was feeling it." It’s
Always a big challenge battling the against the best.
Who is the best offensive player that you have had to guard so far in the NBA?
Corey Maggette: I'd say Kobe Bryant. He is one of the most athletic, and he has so many moves that he can score whenever he wants.

yea, and when people talk about lebron, they just jump on the bandwagon, overrate him, follow the hype, bla, when he's just putting his laces in shape, I heard it all now. double standards. for all I remember ron harper implied (while kobe was sitting right next to him) that LeBron is the better all-around player. Kobe might be better 1on1, but all in all, that's a different story.

post the dates of these comments and let us know how many of them came post Shaq...better yet, post the links to the quotes
better yet...dont even worry about the trouble. Like i said in the other thread...its not that hard to find quotes for a superstar saying all kinds of great shit about them. Especially if you pick your spots. Shit, Kendall Gill and Jordan had similarities in their game lol. Gill pattern himself after Jordan....was he as good, hell no. But, just like Kobe....everybody wants to be Mike....all the way down to the fake ass fist pump after a big shot lol. Youre right as far as, i dont believe Wade should be compared to Kobe...not yet at least. He's off the chain....but he does have Shaq and a pretty strong team. Lebron is compared to Kobe for a good reason. Read the other threads if you cant figure out why.
-
i did read the other threads and i put them all to rest because no one could seem to put up a good argument against me......go read that shit
-
Kobe is great b/c kobe worked his ass of to be a great player,shaq has nothing to do with that..so fuck you if you think shaq made kobe :psych: :psych: :psych: :psych: :psych: :psych: :psych: :psych:

I can't believe you think you owned the discussion with this thread. LOL. My effortless post alone killed your whole quoterio amigo. It's just a number of ppl saying nice things about Kobe. A 10-year-old could find a lot of quotes of people praising the fuck out of LeBron, like I already said. Proves nothing, pendejo.
-
okay please let me know how u think lebron is better than kobe....according to you
-
In short... better PG qualities like passing, court vision, sixth sense, steals combined with the physique of a well-built SF at 20. Those 2 things glued together and a little more selfishness and experience in the NBA will make the ultimate SG.

for all I remember ron harper implied (while kobe was sitting right next to him) that LeBron is the better all-around player. Kobe might be better 1on1, but all in all, that's a different story.
Show me...

what about scoring, ability to take over a game, clutchness, EXPERIENCE, knows how to moove with out the ball, with the ball, double teamed , triple teamed. the qualities u just named are all jason kidd's qualities also, and he can do them better....am i lying???

Kobe Bryant had a 34%FG in where his team is in the last 5 minutes of the game and neither team has a lead of more than 5 minutes. It was much better with more talented players around him, so guess what...again and again and again it always goes back to what type of team you are in. The only way you can evaluate players is that if you put them in the same exact situation which is impossible.

So you're saying it's impossible to evaluate players, which is retarded...
-
Yeah because people bring you guys facts and you guys just dismiss them.
Explain to me Kobe's low FG% in the Clutch for last season.
-
god I hate these threads.......... people need to realize your not going to change opinions of someone!
if they hate Kobe, no ones gonna like him after this thread and they're not gonna admit he's somethin that they said he's not
deal with it
I believe he's ONE of the best players in the league............ he's the best SG for sure, u should keep it at that..... you can't compare him to other PF's and C's

Plus, the real reason its impossible because one player is 20 and the other is 26. One has two years of experience the other has 9

The system you're in affects your performance. Kobe was playing in a shitty system last year which turned out to be a catashtrophe by the end of the season...I don't think you can determine a legends greatness by looking at one bad year. That's like determining a rookies ability by seeing one bad game he had...It just doesn't work...
-
How would Lebron have done in Kobe's shoes during the 3Peat if you look at the stats Lebron's 2nd year in the leauge is damn near close statistic wise to Kobe's best year. It is still unknown what Lebron can do.
And that clutch factor proves the point about the overall quality of a team. The Heat were the best at clutch performance. Wade, Jones and Shaq were among the leauge leaders.
My only points are that Kobe is still the best SG in the leauge and Lebron shoudlnt be labeled another T-Mac or Vince Carter, this guy is on another level
-
It is still unknown what Lebron can do.
exactly, which is why you can't say he's the best in the league right now....
NO ONE IS THE BEST - rate the best by position, not who's the best in the league

I didnt say he was. And what i meant was in the playoffs.
-
i did read the other threads and i put them all to rest because no one could seem to put up a good argument against me......go read that shit
problem is, there has been no good for Kobe argument on this board yet. not one. like ive said before, why cant you guys notice that its only Kobe fans or Laker fans arguin FOR him on here? There arent any unbiased people on here saying "Kobe is the best!". 7even is the closest thing to unbiased on here as he doesnt completely back a certain team, and he agrees with the rest of us who arent Laker fans.
-
I believe he's ONE of the best players in the league............
which ive always agreed with. but thats not good enough for these Kobe fans. He's gotta be "Jordan" lol. Cmon...
-

so if its good enough to use this argument to defend his bad season last year...it should also be good enough to explain his good seasons (Shaq, Phil, etc) before last year.

which no one here has. The only people on here who have claimed a "best in the league", are the Kobe fans...

Jordan>>>kobe>>>everyone else
don't be mad that people compare kobe to jordan..they both have been clutch in the playoffs/reg season and have had big fucking games and when you watch kobe play is like watching jordan,stop fucking hating..you guys are fucking pathetic

Scoring? LeBron dropped 56 on Toronto, as a motherfucking sophomore from high school, and has pretty much the same scoring average as Kobe had this season and a good FG%. Handling double/triple teams he can def do, he does sick fast passes to the open man when he's teamed. Move without the ball, well, lol, alley-hoops all the way.
The only things Kobe leads without a doubt are experience (well, every starting five veteran has more, that doesnt mean they are all better does it ::)) and clutch - but you have to keep in mind that Kobe had plenty of games in which he could prove his clutchness, and LeBron just didnt.

^ fool,shut the fuck up!!
kobe was droping 53 points in 3 quarters a couple years a go every fucking week when shaq was injured and kobe had to pick up the scoring,phil always sat him down in the 4rth quarter b/c the Lakers were up by 20 points,kobe could of easily score 70 points.
yeah Lebron scored 56 vs toronto,but it was TORONTO!! :laugh: AND THE CAVS STILL LOST
And now that the triangle offence is back it's going to give kobe more opportunities to play closer to the basket and take more mid-range jumpers unlike Rudy T's wack ass system...so you could expect kobe to put up the #'s he was putting up in 02-03 when shaq was injured most of the season
oh yeah,it's going to be fun watching kobe droping 53 points in 3 quarters again under phil jackson 8) :)
-
Well.. I really don't know what to say, but I think you gon' be really disappointed.

Lets not exxagerate, he did that once lol
-
Who in here doesnt believe Kobe is the best SG in the league? ::)
-
Lets not exxagerate, he did that once lol
kobe also had a streach were he scored 40 + pts in 9 straight games (Lakers went 7-2) wich included a 55 point game against the yao ming and the rockets
i expect kobe to do that again with a lil help from Mr. Phil Jackson and the triangle offence 8) :)
