I liked Kobe, but he was a four time sidekick with one bad L and had an inconsistent jumper.

Yeah i loved his competitive spirit but I wouldn't place him in my top 20 All Time Players conversation. Probably not 30 either If I were to really think about it.

Nobody wants to raise that comp for the NFL/NBA.

It's not like he had significant hair loss at a younger age than you would expect.

I'm not sure where I stand on him vs Kobe. Duncan easily clears both.

I think the only argument with LeBron over Kobe is the "But rebounds!!!" argument.

Nope. Definitely not top 20. Definitely would be questionable as to whether he'd be top 30.

Its this sort of thing which made you look silly in the Brunson and Fox vs Lonzo comparisons. You really don't want to double, or in your case quadruple to the 73rd power down on this do you CB? Just Asking A Question

When Kobe didn't have All Time Great players around him his team's performance were rather shitty. That has to count for something.

But when you grow up in a "SportsCenter" led world the "hype" usually Trumps all else.

And for what it is worth Charles Barkley always says that Kevin Mchale was the best player he ever played against.

The Lakers went to the finals 3 consecutive times between 2007-2010 and won the last 2. Unless you consider Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum to be all-time greats, you might want to rethink that opinion.

What is the difference between Jordan and Kobe in your view. If you don't accept the modern orthodox opinion that Jordan is "goat" then why does Jordan make a top 20 list but Kobe doesn't.
