Remove 06 kobe from this thread period he is nowhere near that level. 06 kobe would legit average 40+ in this era, as good as shai is kobe is far more skilled, athletic, and most importantly ruthless. That era of kobe would legit pull off a 45 ppg month with ease. 06 kobe isn't like anyone else on your list
Kobe would be insane with this OKC team but would Kobe ever have the patience to tank like this OKC team FOR YEARS so he could have a stacked squad. I 100% doubt it. Kobe either wants it ready made or move him ASAP.

I went and looked at his basketball reference page


At his age 26. He's already had three seasons of scoring 30 plus points.

Kobe did it three times his whole career

Harden thrice


Steph twice


Allen Iverson five times :ehh:


Shai is in the conversation and at 26 he hasn't even hit his prime yet.
Context matters

i dont know if there is anything to base that last statement off of but its impossible to know. after shaq left kobe was 26 and he spent 3 years on a non contender. shai's first year in okc he was 21 and they made the playoffs. the next two years they tanked but shai also missed half the season the first year and 1/3 of the season the next year. the next season they were competitive again winning 40 games and the following season they were the no.1 seed.

“Force”? Do you see what Joker is doing? I think SGA will be the MVP but if Joker gets it he’ll deserve it. Certainly won’t be no damn robbery.
dudes really don't like joker. He's averaging a triple double and his team is buns without him on the floor......

it 100% should be SGA and Jokic duking it out for MVP. Whoever wins, it was deserved.

Scoring as a whole is higher now. The lowest scoring team averages like 104ppg. Just two years ago, there were FIVE players averaging over 30ppg.
