Build a team around?

Kobe. I could take a number of point guards/point forwards who can do what Oscar Robertson can do. But I don't think any SG in history can score like Kobe from all ranges in as many ways. Kobe is literally the complete scorer.

Big O. No dis to Kobe, but he's probably one of the last guys considered top 20 that I'd pick to build around. He would never be my first pick to start a team.

No trolling, brehs. :whoa:

If you had to build a team and pick between Kobe Bryant and Oscar Robertson, who would you take?
To be clear, yes Robertson was listed as a PG, but at 6'5, 205 lbs...he's essentially the same size as Kobe (6'6, 200 lbs)

:lupe:

Robertson:
25.7 PPG
7.5 RPG
9.5 APG
.485 FG%

Bryant:
25.4 PPG
5.3 RPG
4.8 ASG
.451 FG%

Most would argue that quality of play has improved since the 1960s and Robertson's heyday and thus Kobe's numbers would be greater
.
But they are both legendary players.

:ehh:


*FYI -- The 3-point shot was not available during Robertson's career so it's difficult to say whether he could shoot consistently at that range.
This is stupid.

You never seen Big O play.

But, with Kobe you have the entire context of his career.

Do you realize how stupid this is.... Do you?

No more stupid than asking if Barry Bonds is as great as Babe Ruth.

:manny:

I'm just curious for opinions.
You think all these dudes saying Jordan was the GOAT saw HIM play?

Most of these coli dudes are 21 years old.

:coffee:
