Could Paul George be the next Kobe?

[who_better_than_me]

I don't see tmac or Kobe in his game. He's not as explosive as either. Even in the postseason I didn't see it. Hes not even the most explosive player in their team.

Kobe's a better scorer (One of the best offensive skill sets of all time) but, just like with the likes of Durant and Lebron, PG's mixture of length and size make it possible for him to be just as hard to guard.

PG is a better passer, more versatile defender, and has better court awareness though. Kobe is a better ball handler, more refined scorer, and he was an elite on-ball defender (He's an AWFUL help defender and doesn't rotate for ish).

PG is gonna be a diet Durant as a scorer but he'll be a better passer and playmaker.

PG offensively isn't in Kobe or T-Mac league but defensively, he is clearly better than both. T-Mac was too skilled and Kobe is far too skilled for PG offensively. PG is like 6'9 and a half. He is clearly taller than both. He is almost as tall as Durant. His ball handling is no where near either ball much less Durant. He has average handles.

I think he's the same height as TMac and if he's taller it aint by much. With that said, yeah he not seeing either kobe or Tmac

Kobe was this good entering his 4th year? You fakkit ass Kobe stans are hilarious copping pleas. PG has potential to be better, it's ultimately on him to reach that level

Troll post?

Kobe was a top 3 talent in 2000 and a top 10 player at age 21.

PG doesn't have the potential to better. One of the dumbest things I've read on this board.

Maybe he is the next Kobe

white people getting more bold saying like this.

and then the idiots who dapped him are even worse.

Kobe in 4th year...Finals. And yea he had Shaq but Kobe was the truth (and I ain't even a Mamba fan like that).
PG in 4th year...maybe 28-29 a game?

Still can't dribble well in the open-court and turns the ball over.

Where Kobe do dat at?

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

I'm convinced a lot of yall ain't see young Kobe play or a healthy T-Mac. Both of them nikkaz would wipe the floor with PG, he aight but get serious.

 

[Street Knowledge]

He'll never be better then 2001 Kobe. Much less peak Kobe(06-09)

2001 Kobe would be the 2nd best player in the league today

Kobe stans furious

You cant be serious

Oh how the table turn. It's quite ironic to see the Kobe contingent on this side of the fence.

That said PG is nothing like Kobe. I mean I see no resemblance. At least when Kobe was getting unwarranted MJ comparisons early on, he was the same size and clearly basing his game off Mike's. There is absolutely nothing comparable about these two players. It's really silly and lazy that people feel the need to make someone into the next someone else instead of just letting them be themselves.

Don't argue with these guys bruh

These guys can deal with someone being better at basketball than them
They can deal with someone being richer than them
They can deal with someone being better looking than them
They can deal with someone being more worldly than them
They can deal with someone being smarter than them

But they can't deal with all 5 of those things at the same time.

Guys like Kobe will always be hated by insecure people

:wowjb:
