Civil War: Magic vs. Kobe
- Thread starter Saint1
- Start date
Magic. More finals appearances, more MVPs and finals MVPs. Kobe needs another ring or MVP to surpass him.
Kobe
Magic is arguably the Offensive GOAT, but Bryant is elite on both sides of the ball(even though PG defense is weighted differently then other positions) and has the same amount of titles and FAR less talent with more competition in the west. The west was a joke in the 80's outside of LA. While Kobe has had to go through the spurs,Kings,blazers,Suns,Mavs, etc
There were some years Magic didn't have to beat a 50 win team to make it to the finals
That's 00-07 Eastern conference status

Magic says a LOT of things I bet you'd disagree with... he was No.1 on the LeBron bandwagon for years.

Rest In Peace KOBE
Magic said it himself, Kobe is the greatest laker ever. But i still think magic is the most influential.

How U Luv That???
Kobe, same amount of rings and won his last 2 with far less talent than Magic EVER won with, all he needs is another ring and this won't be debateable. I don't care about regular season MVP's too much, It's a shame he spent his prime on a team with Smush and Kwame in the starting lineup.
