7-18 fg,3-8 ft line against a team with no real center...Embiid needs to pipe down.

Okay? That’s how he feels about the shot then that’s how he feels, the fukk does his stats have to do with anything...

Now if he said something in favor of Lebron you wouldn’t even be here commenting :mjlol:

Lebron gets respect
But Kobe is more of a mythical figure to their peers

Lebron is Peyton Manning
Great regular season stats (padding), mediocre in post season, chokes in big moments, great guy, can sell pizzas, peers wanna have drinks with them. Two of the worst title performances in history (Den vs Seattle SB... Heat vs Mavs 2011)


Kobe is Tom Brady
Killer instinct, no friends, rings, clutch, iconic, peers fear them and respect them, legendary aura around them.

:yeshrug:

And I'm a Lebron guy
LeBron is literally better than Kobe in the Playoffs:skip:. Better stats against better opponents without having the best team(I fukking dare you nikkas to argue that Bron had more than one Finals series where he had the better team).

5 Finals Losses
couldnt beat Celtics, Magic without Superteams
Choked in 2011 Finals, 2013 Finals (ray had to save him)
Put up empty stats in 2015 and 2017.

LeBron stans are hurt :mjlol::wow:

You think 9/11 was done by some Arabs with box cutters?

That's the definition of INSANE.

Open your eyes. And start questioning the propaganda we're flooded with.

Everything you are told by the media is a lie.
Bron Stan’s usually can’t think for themselves and buy whatever media says. Thus thinking bron is some all mighty player when his own peers don’t respect him like they respected other greats

Because Kobe received much better media treatment. The data doesn't support a lot of the media narratives about Kobe and LeBron but people believe them anyway.

All of you unemployed losers who constantly bytch about media bias against Kobe and media slurping of LeBron were the ones tuning into first take every day to hear the same tired dialogue about Kobe being a fearless winner and LeBron crumbling under pressure.
the players are not concern about numbers like you nonathletic analytical geeks are. That's why they are able to appreciate Kobe's game over Lebron. You concluding that the media is responsible for how players think about Kobe over Lebron is just you gasping for straws. As if you know what goes on in the mind of nba players.

what we do know is that players feel Kobe> Bron. What we also know is that they've played against both and they've came to their conclusion. Anything else based of that from yall is just speculations. I know your ears are hot right now. :whew:

LeThotties yall :heh:

Of course they're enamored with Kobe. Kobe got drafted in 1996. A lot of these cats barely remember him and Shaq together for the three-peat. He's damn near Jim Brown status for someone born in the late-90's. LeBron is someone they "know" more because they've played against him a ton and watched him from the start. The mystique isn't there. Plus, Kobe is the closest player to Jordan in terms of style. For the young brehs that never saw Jordan live, Kobe is the next best thing.

Numbers don't matter, yet your argument is based on imaginary numbers. What is this study you are referencing? Swagnificent's list of links of articles where players gave prompted compliments to Kobe? :heh:

What evidence do you have that D-Wade, Dirk, and Durant were prompted to say Kobe was the best player they ever played against.

The mental gymnastics you Kobe haters do to try and discount the respect he has from his peers is laughable.

You would be better off making argument like the rest of these Brons do about it having to do with age or playing style. This idea that other players are told to pay Kobe compliments is downright pathetic. Even for you.
