Chris Paul isn't better than Kobe Bryant? What the fukk are you smoking?
Chris Paul is top 3 in the NBA easily.
2005 was an off year for Kobe. His defense was terrible and shooting percentage was deplorable. He was on the 3rd all-nba team for a reason. He was suffering from Plantar fasciitis for the entire season and missed 16 games after severely spraining his ankle. Lakers even missed the playoffs for the second time in its franchise's history. He didn't get one MVP vote that year. Most if not all NBA analysts were saying that Kobe was overrated, he was carried by Shaq, you couldn't build a team around him etc. At the end of the year most of the player rankings done by foxsports, espn, slam etc. had him ranked as the 7th to 9th best player in the NBA. He used all that as motivation and came out a beast the following year. But all of that did happen. So don't post stats from that year and act like he didn't receive shyt from everyone because of that performance.
How old are you man? Any NBA fan should know this. That happened just 7 years ago. Stop with this revisionist history shyt. That shyt don't fly with me.
and you said that sh*t vehemently too.....like you really believe that sh*t
1) Parker's finals MVP says otherwiseDuncan was clearly their best player in 07.

same statline verbatim. yet we call one & the other
1) Parker's finals MVP says otherwise
2) Either way, neither one was top 5 so there's another knock against your theory
20/9/4/2.5 That his stats for this year.
There is a reason why Chris Paul was all-nba first team and all-defensive 1st team this year and finished 3rd in MVP voting despite the Clippers not having an elite record. Chris Paul was that good. Wtf are you on?
You are using points per game really?
now......where are these 7-9 players that were better than Bryant in the 04-05 season?
NBA.com:
.430% .303% .845% 5.4rbs 4.6ast 1.2stl 27.9
.433% .339% .816% 5.9rbs 6.0ast 1.3stl 27.6
same statline verbatim. yet we call one & the other

Kobe was on the All-NBA THIRD team and didn't even receive a single vote for MVP. He barely made the 3rd team even.
You keep proving how much of an idiot you really are.
So you are saying Kobe is the same player now that he was back in 08?and?
you say that sh*t like CP3 ain't put up better numbers in 08 & 09. A very small segment of basketball fans was putting Paul over Kobe when Paul was putting up 22ppg/11ast & almost winning MVP but, he's better now despite averaging less & Kobe's statline virtually staying the same since 08 & 09.
Look at the players that were on the all-nba team moron. That should give you an indication. Don't you think?yea yea yea....
still waiting on the 7-9 players that were better than him
Duncan wasn't top 5?
Hilarious how your story changes up depending on what you're arguing
Guess Duncan went from top 5 in '07 to not mentioned at all a year later, eh?
Take a second to stop calling people smarter than you idiots and realize you're making a fool of yourself.
