He has terrible basketball IQ. One of the most selfish players ever. Has frequently shot his team out of games. In fact the amount of shots he attempts has correlated to his team performing poorly throughout his career.
His scoring ability is almost unmatched and thats not arguable but that doesnt mean he isnt a huge liability for his team because of his on court mentality.
Miss me with the clutch shyt, all clutch statistics that have been recorded show that he is worse than most of the other star players in the league.
The biggest reason he is overrated is because he has been lucky enough to play for the Laker franchise and because of that has gotten a great amount of television coverage and opportunity. Of course having Shaq/Phil Jackson on the team didn't hurt. And than Jerry west just happened to trade Pau gasol for kwame brown. Now he is gettin older and oh look, dwight howard comes over to LA for peanuts because he wouldn't let his team trade him anywhere else. give me a break
I can go into his game more thoroughly and really break down the fact that at their best someone like Manu Ginobili isn't far below Kobe but I'm too lazy right now to write up a scouting essay.
