Let's admit the cold hard truth about kobe - media ruined Kobe's legit top 3-4 status

[ThaRealness]

Interesting thread. But That means Magic Lebron or Kareem has to go

You sound emotional. I get it.
Your hero died and it really is a tragedy.

But that isn't going to cloud the reality of on court performance as it relates to historical greatness.

Shut up bytch

Shut up bytch

Would you like a hug?

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Your online persona for the past 15 years has been dedicated to hating on the man, but you don't see the polarization?

I thought this nikka was banned?

or was that his pedo-homie goddamnyamanprof

It doesn't, people are going to have different top 5's and that's fine. Just don't antagonize other people and claim it's not even close like many did

Yeah that was @Goddamyacacprof

If your looking at career accomplishments and peak/prime

The only people with a comparable resume to Kobe Bryant are

Jordan
Kareem
Lebron

4th all time in points
81 point game
7 finals appearances
5 nba titles
1x MVP
2x Finals MVP
Record tying 4x all star game MVP
18x time all star
Record tying 9x first team all defense
2 gold medals - after they had just gotten the bronze
Slam dunk title
60 point comeback win in final game

and doing this under the spotlight of one of the biggest franchises in the world

and i might have even missed something on this list

Don’t speak on Kobe bytch

take your nerd ass to another topic

 

[Bilz]

yeah he got SOME accolade for his mvp and 2 championships without shaq, but his greatness was still downplayed
it was always lebron > kobe beat into people's head
or some other narrative
got cacs like nick wright running to twitter to downplay kobe's achievements every time lebron passes him in something or max kellerman or some other hater
people not even including kobe in their top 5 or top 10
the list goes on
till this day they are doing it
slipping in the Colorado case and any potential character issues after his death, so he can have a tainted legacy

Nobody cares about what Nick Wright says. No one cares about some article in a non sports publication calling Kobe a rapist. This isn’t “the media”. You are getting worked up about minor voices who aren’t representative of the media and aren’t even influential.

Wow @ @Remote and all the other fakkits in here

 

[ThaRealness]

But on some real life shyt, who gives a fukk about a top 5 list? All the moments Kobe gave us, who cares where he ranks on some subjective list? It’s about winning and he won. It’s about getting paid and he did that. So fukk a list. That shyt is not real, and will never be. It involves pitting players from different eras against each other. That “top 5” shyt is corny

the list will change again decades from now
and will continue to change while all our legends are forgotten

 

[Marc Spector]

Let this shyt go. Let it go. Jesus.

This is literally creating something to bytch about.

The amount of love the man and his legacy is receiving is evidence enough of how people felt.

Y’all sheep drones stay letting the media guide you.
