Are there really ppl in here suggesting Kobe was better than Kareem?

By absolutely no measurement is Kobe better than Kareem[/b[. It's almost offensive to suggest

Who said anything about measurements. We talking pure basketball skill. Obviously Kareem has the better resume. Hell Kareem has arguably a better resume than Jordan. But Kareem ain't considered the GOAT cause he wasn't dominant like Jordan. And for that same reason he ain't better than Kobe.

Kobe is simply better at playing basketball than Kareem. All you have to do is watch them play.

if we're just going by skills, then all these all-time lists would be completely different, and we'd include people in the top 10, whose careers weren't worthy of top 50.

people just want to make exceptions for certain players.

if kobe is 3rd on your list, then T-Mac should be 1st or 2nd. I bet T-Mac didn't even cross his mind.

T mac isn't as skilled as Kobe

Mcgrady said Kobe is better

how far did kobe get in the playoffs without being on stacked teams?

:dahell: Kobe won back to back rings with his 2nd best player being a soft euro who never won a playoff game before joining Kobe and his 3rd best player being a crackhead who never made an all-star game.

Kobe won 2 rings past his prime with essentially no help. Especially when compared to what LeBron needed to win back to back rings.

Add Tony Allen to that list. He ranks Kobe as the GOAT.

0:44 - 0:56


Kobe's the only guy since MJ to get this type of respect from his peers. What other NBA player got other NBA players all giddy to get their signature on a shoe? And this wasn't just Tony Allen. nikkas on every team last year were asking Kobe for autographs on their shoes and shyt.

I guarantee you won't see nikkas treating LeBron like this when he retires. Kobe was just on another level as a legend to his peers.

and now the typical downplaying of his teammates.

you dudes are predictable.

hes had the biggest media push in the NBA since Jordan as well.

and this has been going on, since before he became a starter on the lakers. he was already a household name while sitting on the bench, thanks to stern.

I'm not moved by chit like that.

So the fact all the dudes who COMPETE against him say he's the best doesn't move you? :mjlol:

You nikkas hate Kobe so much you saying illogical shyt like this. How could the opinion of the guys who compete with Kobe not matter? The fact all his pers give him these props should let us mere mortals know how special he was.

I see players saying the same thing about LeBron, Iverson, etc.
but kobe stans are the only ones that keep scrapbooks for quotes of him getting props.

and again, theyre basing this off of just skills, which opens up the floodgates, which is all I was saying. but because it involved kobe, I get bombarded on here. lol.

Stop lying. LeBron doesn't get 1% the respect Kobe does from his peers. If he did, you nikkas wouldn't have to resort to lies like this.

Argue with Robert Horry, Dwyane Wade, Kevin Durant, and countless other players that have Kobe top 2-3 all-time.

I'm just some random guy with an opinion. You don't need to believe me. But when Kobe's peers say he's among the top 2-3 to ever play the game, that means something.
Look breh.....Kobe great...I'm not going to nor will I ever deny that. But I do know that a bit of this is additionally comin from Kobe just retiring and nba nikkas bein a bit sentimental. Whenever a perennial player retires there is a rose colored glass approach to remembering that great.....:manny:

When magic caught the bug many were touting him crazy.....it's just and it's normal but it's also reactionary. Kobe just left the league and many players watched how the league just gave itself to Bron and almost neglected the mamba til he won again with Gasol years later....LeBron being league darling has gotten him no props from any peers, trust.....so when I see so many robotically just sayin Kobe Kobe Kobe ....it's apparent to me that emotion is as much apart of there opinions as is fact. Kobe is damn near best to do it for my generation ....but him just retiring has a lot to do with the sentiment at large. Just sayin:francis:






And no....Kobe is not better than Kareem:rudy:




And he is not BETTER than Bron as it stands now....AND BRON IS STILL PLAYING:umad:

youre proving my point and you don't even realize it.

Hate Kobe so much you consider Pau and Lamar odom a stacked team brehs. And dont even bring up Bynum, a guy who wasnt even apart of the crunch time line up


When people insinuate Kobe had some God level supporting cast in 09 and 2010, they just expose themselves.
