Mike and Mike debating if KAJ top 5

[Da_Eggman]

Another cornball who runs around on his anti-Kobe steez and is a Lebron and Heat stan, what a surprise.


It's like people don't know how to be objective anymore. Every played in the bold is either clearly not better than Kobe or is very arguable.

@Malta, verb be wilin, he's LWO so that's my dude but he gets heated Kobe's not top 3 though, we can't do that.

MJ, Kareem, and Wilt are mandatory top 5. Then you have to argue about some combination of Duncan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Hakeem, Shaq, and Big O.

Out of that group it comes down to Duncan, Kobe, Magic for me. See I learned, I moved Duncan up that list


Really I was just doing that shyt to piss you off

Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal and Hakeem Olajuwon are not better than Kobe


there is no gm in the history of the nba that would take kobe ahead of those players NONE

the argument can be made for which player had a greater impact on their franchise. duncan and the spurs vs kobe and the lakers. not gona go into it but i'd lean towards duncan and the spurs.
a foolish statement would be to say kobe is the greatest sg of all time. it isnt outlandish to declare duncan the goat pf.

 

[FAH1223]

not even top ten

I agree.

b-b-b-but Wilt was only good cause of his time right?

the late 80s/90s saw the greatest collection of centers in league history... stop it. wilt never saw a mutant like shaq, anyone as skilled as olajuwon or ewing.

OMG HE HAD LONG ARMS! so does tayshaun prince, who cares?

jerry lucas was top 4-5 centers when wilt played. look at him lol

wilt = babe ruth. played against trash. TRASH. shaq in the 60s= rip nba.
wilts most impressive claim to fame is the number of women he plowed. overrated center and i'd take shaq, olajuwon and drob over him easy. even ewing.

Anyone who played against a majority of white guys is automatically disqualified

Obviously, they're big men, they're easier to build around. GMs took Hakeem over MJ too, and rightfully so.

That has nothing to do with the players they became. Kobe's duration of dominance outlasted Hakeem and that's one my three favorite players ever. I noticed that you backed off Big O. Russel and Larry. So basically you've reached a point where you're only arguably for 6 players potentially being higher than Kobe and you think it's absurd for him to be top 10?

Go sit down. If Kobe isn't in your top 10, your list isn't respectable.

For me the Top 5 is:

MJ
Wilt
Kareem
Bird
Magic

Wilt stats alone put him in up there. He obliterated his competition (for the most part). He dominated the way someone of his caliber should, against smaller, less skilled players...*AHEM Dwight. Bird and Magic go hand and hand, and Bird was a BEAST, so he rounds out Top 5.

Then you have Kobe, Shaq, Russell, O....To me Duncan takes a hit because he's coasted the last decade. You're one of the most unguardable players EVER; act like it.

 

[Rakim Allah]

They said Jordan, Russel, Magic in for sure then you can make case for Bird,Wilt, KAJ, Bean, Duncan, Shaq. How you debating the GOAT being top 5 This is why cacs should stick to baseball and football

Jordan may be the greatest NBA player of all time but KAJ is the greatest basketball player of all time.

wilt has all these mutant stats but only 2 titles.. wut... hakeem played in a much more athletic and competitive era against the greatest collection of centers to ever play in league history... duncan didnt really battle centers like that but he still has FOUR rings compared to wilt's TWO.

seriously who here is going to say wilt was a more skilled big man than hakeem? the cross over dribble still hadnt been invented when wilt was playing, give me a break. wilt and babe ruth are like dinosaurs who are to be gawked at for their numbers and nothing else. babe ruth was not a better baseball player than willie mays, or ken griffey jr, or barry bonds. and wilt was not a better basketball player than jordan, magic, shaq etc.

the average center height when wilt played was like 6'8- 6'9. shaq in the 60s = rape

 

[Rakim Allah]

I blame the NBA for this. They have scrubbed pre 1980 NBA except for Wilt's numbers.

I blame the fact that KAJ didn't suck media dikk like so many famous athletes ... Cap for not shuckin & jivin for these media hacks!!

 

[Rakim Allah]

Top 5 for Me is

Jordan
KAJ
Magic
Kobe
Wilt

 

[Rakim Allah]

Duncan, MJ, Magic in the top 5 for sure


then after that maybe Kareem and Wilt

Unless U have out of this world stats like Wilt...U can't get in the Top 5 if U didn't repeat as a champ

 

[Rakim Allah]

I have so much footage of young Kareem just flat out dominating I don't know what to do with it, someday I will make a mix of him in his heyday.

look at his athleticism at 3:00 mark

Please do...that era of Kareem is so underrated!!

 

[Rakim Allah]

Let's be honest here. None of you dudes watched Magic, Bird, Kareem and Wilt play. You would have to be 40+.

So unless you are status shut the fukk up.

I watched Magic/Bird/Kareem play and I'm Kobe's age().
