People like to hold FGP against Kobe regardless of results, but they do not keep than same energy for Jordan or LeBron it's a clear bias

It most certainly was bias. Why was the narrative what this kid is doing at 19 is unbelievable? Carmelo was 19 as well, it doesn't matter if he went to Syracuse, he was still 19.

Everybody is diminished in LeBron's favor. LeBron shot 36% in 2008 against the Celts and went 7 games bu LeBron never had help.
Why do you think he shot 36% you don't think his lack of help had anything to do with that
:mjlol:

U don't think facing one of the G.O.A.T. defense as a heavy underdog (66 wins to 45 wins) had anything to do with that?

U think Delonte West is a good second option against a team with Pierce/Garnett/Allen :mjlol:

Do you not see this was a defensive series with several games decided in the 70's and 80's.

Did you see the "No Regard for Human Life" dunk on Garnett or when he dropped 45 against Paul Pierce in game 7 and lost?

The reason Kobe's efficiency gets brought up more than LeBron or Jordan's is because Kobe was more inefficient than both.

A top 10 list is subjective and one we will NEVER get a consensus on. Ask 10 different people and you will get ten different answers everytime. Like my top ten lists consists of the following players Michael Jordan
Cap
Bron
Magic
Kobe
Duncan
Shaq
Wilt
Dream
Bird.
Now others will have Bird higher or Wilt lower or Kobe lower or whatnot but that's MY list. Ask me again in 2 months and i might put Duncan and Shaq over Kobe but in the end these lists mean absolutely nothing and are just fodder for us and gives us something to talk about.

I disagree, these lists mean something that’s why what Kenny said is so controversial. The opinions might not mean much but the top 10 list mean something

Just conversation piece bruh. My list alone leaves out players like Oscar Jerry Erving etc. while others may have them on t. It means something as far as a talking piece sure but as far as any overall agreement of who should be in top 10 that will never happen. It's good for discussion i will say again though.

That’s why I said the opinions don’t mean much. The opinion is just for argument but the top 10 of all time means a lot to every sport.

There was an emotional connection that overrated Kobe and his passing took it up (RIP).

There were times in the aughts I that Dwayne was better. Both Kobe's actual skill carried him into his twilight years.

I totally get him not being Top 10 or over Lebron. At worst...absolute worst, he's Top 20 ever. I could see people keeping him out of the Top 15...that's it.
Kobe isnt too 10, hell he isnt top 25

CANT BELIEVE FAGOTS LIKE THIS STILL EXIST

Kobe perhaps has the greatest range of the all time greats in terms of where people rank him. A lot of people have him as the GOAT, many people don't have him even in the top ten. And it was that way before he passed. It's really wild.

AND ITS 100% DUE TO MEDIA MANIPULATION
