Brian Scalabrine: Kobe is top 15-25 player of all time

[I AM WARHOL]

Jerry West is 1-9, he a top 10 loser for sure. and if i played in oscars era..I would be dropping 50 a game

 

[onelastdeath]

Yes they are

Magic? Yes.

Bird? No.

I'll give him top 15 but top 10 is hard. You are talking about cats like MJ Magic Kareem Wilt Bill Tim Hakeem Shaq Oscar Bird etc. who could be the top 10 right there. It's a subjective list of course but Kobe would have a hard time cracking the top 10. Nothing wrong with that cause he is still an all time player for the ages.

hes over everyone on that list not named Magic and Tim.

But Kobe and Bron couldn't play in that era, they'd struggle. It was too physical

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Magic and Larry changed the game forever and deserve the utmost respect but neither of them are actually better basketball players than Kobe. Let's be 100.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Players better than Kobe
No particular order outside of Wilt being the GOAT.

Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
Magic Johnson
Larry Bird
Michael Jordan
Shaq
Clyde Drexler
Hakeem
Oscar Robinson
James Worthy
Kevin McHale
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Scottie Pippen
LeBron James
Walt Frazier
Kareem
Isiah Thomas
Karl Malone
Charles Barkley

=
Honestly he is in the 20 - 30 range for me
When its all said and done I think Wade will be higher than him when he is finished.

Lol @ people even suggesting lebron is better than Kobe.

Mvp is a popularity contest btw.

No, it's your own personal preference and little else. You've written off the MVP award as a popularity contest that has no credibility (because you don't think Kobe won as many as he deserved) yet you'd have no problem talking about Kobes all star selections, all defense selections, and his overall popularity across the globe.

Kobe probably should have more MVPs than he does, but there has always been other guys who have been better each year. A guy like LeBron should have more rings than he does, but he's been the runner up a bunch of times. Since you're biased, you ignore this though. You give Kobe credit for everything he has and even stuff he doesn't have while you do the opposite for his peers. If he was as good as you claim he is, you wouldn't have to do all of that.

I disagree completely. Lebron is a choke artist and a regular season warrior. Similar to Peyton manning

You are just further proving my point.

You won't use MVPs because Nash has more than Kobe and Shaq.

But you will use rings even though Horry has more than Kobe and Shaq.

Your motive is to get Kobe to the top by any means necessary. There is no reason for you to keep posting stats and figures that did nothing to shape your opinion.

No version of lebron is better than any version of Kobe even torn Achilles kobe. lebron misses free throws with under 2 min left on Christmas to a team he just lost in the finals to. Kobe makes his with a season ending injury.

That to me is a better player

He is a regular season champion and a post season bytch

No its not, but ofc its lebron so we excuse him, cause that is expected of him

If rings are a measure of achievement, then why do Bynum and Arizas health have anything to do with Kobes ring count? Using your own logic, Kobe didn't win in 2008 because he simply wasn't good enough. He would have the same 5 rings if he played with Smush Parker his whole career or if he played on an allstar team so there is no need to discuss hypotheticals. Sorry if you don't like this but it's your own script

If you were a real student of the game, you wouldn't dismiss statistics. They measure what actually happens on the court. Stats can be misleading and they can also be misinterpreted, but the eye test is far more unreliable, especially when they're the eyes of a biased Stan.

brons got 2 rings, when he gets 5 you might get an actual argument

You and Sircus posts vs. Bilz

When Kobe gets more MVPs and stops putting up disappointing finals series then you might get an actual argument. Too bad Kobe's time is up
