Dude is campaigning here as if we are the ones voting. Like WTF.

Meanwhile, ref ball helped us in this game. We did not deserve the win. I would take it anyway. We were down 3 starters.

Kobe Bryant

GOAT

Growing up i heard about Jordan, i knew about Shaq but Kobe was the first NBA player I truly knew. His name was synonymous with basketball back then. Whenever we busted a move in the court we would always repeat a certain commentary about Kobe. Everyone wanted to be Kobe.

GOAT.

All I'm doing is putting out the numbers and my opinion and point of view which everyone else here does but if you're such a hater that you can't fathom that then that's your business.

Kerr said kobe was closest to MJ and not LeBron and a lot of people that didn't read what he said are disagreeing with him while others are supporting a false narrative but what he said is absolutely 100 % correct.

Kobe is like Jordan on tranquilizers. Kobe tried to be like mike in every aspect of the game and even copied his moves. He wasnt as good, but point is their style of play was similar if not exactly alike.

This is where LeBron is different, he came with a new style of play, a hybrid of sorts and an alien all round. This is why comparing MJ and LBJ as players will never work even though i feel the impact LBJ can have on teams makes him better from an overall stand point.

The new wave of talent like Ben Simmons and other rookies are now modelling their game after LeBron and perhaps in 15 years or so, we'd have a Ben Simmons vs LeBron debate if he can improve his skill set, learn to shoot and live up to the hype because right now he's more like magic.

Lonzo has been impressive this past week. He's slowly ascending, but still far from the top 4 rookies.


Meanwhile, if Ben Simmons learns how to shoot, hehehehehe...

Kobe was drafted in 1996, LeBron didn't get drafted until 2003 yet he destroys three top ten all time greats in this category. Mad! Not posting this to compare the two but just to show how much people take the latter for granted.

If having possession is the argument, then I have to agree Steelers nation have a case because he had possession.
Their argument is basically that the receiver allowed the ball touch the floor. It's a terrible way to lose a game. Reminds me of the Dez Bryant catch a few years back

A fun stat for you stat "cushion" mob.

To date he has 303 games with 7+ Ast, 7+ Reb, 162 with 8+Ast, 8+Reb and 71 with 9+ Ast, 9+ Reb; but only 37 triple-doubles.

This was about 3 years ago in March 2015. Imagine what the numbers are now. He couldve been far ahead of oscar by now. All these years he wasn't stat padding cheesy

He's getting MVP number 5 people. Get ready for it. And A40 get ready for a new moniker.

Lol you go jonze like craze. Better pray CP3 or Harden gets injured else The Beard would pick up that Podoloff

Ben Simmons lacks range but the important thing for me is that he is very efficient and plays to his strengths. He can always improve on his range as time goes on. A semi-rookie with a 50% FG is on the right track

I think consideration must be made for the eras where Kobe and MJ played and if they look similar then duhh they play the same position. There is nothing Lebron is doing that Kobe and MJ couldn't truth be told. Lebron's edge is mainly his size and the fact that today's game requires more positional fluidity
