Professor Emeritus: "Kobe was never clearly the best in any season of his career"

[Diddly Drogba]

Unfortunately for Kobe, three things hurt his career.

1) He got to win three rings early on but, people dishonestly say Shaq carried him when Shaq did absolutely nothing from 97-2000 in LA. He needed Kobe. And he needed Kobe to be a 1B type player. We don't disrespect Curry, Wade or Kyrie for not getting the Finals MVP but, Kobe gets disrespected constantly.

2) The rape case. White America never forgave him for "assaulting" that white girl. He should've won 2-3 MVPs which would bolster his career but, cacs would've died before allowing it to happen.

3) LeBron. The NBA got the superstar that they needed to replace Kobe. I lived through the era. LeBron wasn't considered the GOAT of anything before 2012. He was looked at like Peyton Manning was......like he's good but, can he win? Why does he shrink in the playoffs? Kobe was the top guy in those years but, because LeBron eventually won, now dikkeating Bron Stans try to retroactively go back and pretend he was always the top guy in the 2000s.

The reality is Kobe was the best player from 2005ish to 2010ish. And from 2000 to 2005, he was anywhere from top 5 to top 3.

In 2012 after he won his first title in 2011?

LeGBT is the WOAT

2006-2010 bruh clear cut crack. Bean went ape shyt for 4 years and went B2b. Plus almost did the Jordan 2 step and did 2 3 peats. But these fukk Boys want us to believe he was never the clear cut best….

 

[dappadonna]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.

WHEN BRON WON THOSE MVPS
NO ONE THOUGHT HE WAS ACTUALLY
BETTER THAN KOBE.

THE CAVS HAD THE BEST RECORD
IN THE LEAGUE AND USUALLY
THE BEST PLAYER ON THE BEST TEAM
GOT MVP SO NOBODY WAS TRIPPING.

NO ONE THOUGHT A.I. OR DUNCAN
WERE BETTER THAN SHAQ WHEN
THEY WON MVPS.

NO ONE THOUGHT KG WAS THE BEST
PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE THE YR HE WON MVP.

NO ONE THOUGHT NASH WAS
THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE
IN HIS MVP YEARS.

THE SAME FOR BARKLEY/MALONE
MVPS OVER JORDAN

IT WAS ALL NARRATIVE/RECORD BASED
AND THAT WAS COOL.

NOW nikkaS GOING BACK,
PULLING UP MVP VOTES AND shyt
LIKE THE PPL WHO WERE THERE
IN REAL TIME DONT REMEMBER
KOBE WAS VIEWED AS THE BEST PLAYER
IN THE LEAGUE DURING THAT PERIOD.



​

Don't forget to add the D.Rose MVP too

In 20 years when LeBron does his version of the Last Dance documentary, they're going to act like LeBron on the Cavs was always considered the GOAT he just needed more help, that LeBron was the leader on the 2008 Olympics team, that Wade was on his last legs when LeBron came to save his career, that the 2011 Finals never happened and that Kobe was only as good as Paul Pierce

Gonna be so much misinformation on there

 

[Pressure]

it’s not that crazy of a take.

Throughout his career you always had, Duncan, Dirk, Nash, wade, Shaq, Bron, Garnett, etc being put up as the best player in the league.

I don’t remember a period where Kobe was on that indisputable best player level we’ve seen from guys like Jordan or even Bron at points.

 

[klientel]

I hated Kobe when he played and even I can admit that nikka had a stretch of 4-5 years where he not only looked like the best player in the league…maybe the best player I’ve ever seen.

 

[CHICAGO]

Don't forget to add the D.Rose MVP too

CROWN WAS IN LIMBO
THAT YEAR.

KOBE GOT OLD AND BRON
RAN TO MIAMI TO CHOKE IN THE FINALS.

CASUAL BABBLE

DUNCAN AND SHAQ WERE THE ONLY
PPL SEEN AS THE BEST PLAYER
IN THE LEAGUE OUTSIDE OF KOBE
DURING THE 2000S

SHAQ 2000-02
DUNCAN 03-05
KOBE 06-2010

​

So at least two other players were considered the best player in the league.

What years was Kobe considered clearly the best player in the league?

@ pretending Kobe didn’t have a 20 year career

Where have you been? That was a criticism of Curry for YEARS on here Lol.... not that I completely agree with it. Also, Kobe went on to win 2 Finals MVPs anyway so it doesn't hurt him now
