[@maticherzog]

he was the reason why I started playing basketball. I saw glimpses of MJ but I was too young, 32 atm, I watched Kobe, tried shooting like him, go double pump to the back of the rim, etc. As Chris said, Kobe was our Michael. And in the past years I watched a lot of his interviews about life and what he does now, books, coaching, the man was the purest inspiration for life and aspirations you can imagine. He is the greatest in my mind because of that.

[@bd8033]

Kobe was finesse. He would cut through 5 defenders to get to the hoop, and not one of them would have a clue how he got by them. Almost like NightCrawler from X Men. One second he's at the top of the key and in the blink of an eye he's above the rim. There will never be another like him and I'm heartbroken he's gone.

[@slime129]

He was unstoppable in his prime

[@danklordsupreme8864]

Kobe was the most heavily scrutinized and criticized superstar in the NBA. But he was always the most relentless guy on the court, he was unbreakable, tough as nails and always played through injuries. He was unphased by pressure. I always remember when Matt Barnes ball checked Kobe on an inbound pass and Kobe didnt even flinch. That's why I respected Kobe, and it's also why I find this news so shocking, because of Kobe's unbreakable personality. It's hard to believe that such an unbreakable guy like Kobe could pass away so early in life...

[@Saiyan585]

I would disagree only because I think Allen Iverson was scrutinized more overall.

[@evanodum563]

The hardcore Kobe fans like us gave him so much love we helped create the haters. They watched him win and style on everyone. Id have been a hater too if my team was getting torched effortlessly lol

[@whales312]

Bill Clay I respect and understand where you’re coming from. But I think lebron is more scrutinized. He’s always under the microscope and his comparison and debate between him and Jordan makes him extremely scrutinized

@@whales312 the debate between lebron and Jordan was first a debate between Kobe and Jordan. Most of the things Lebron has gone thru Kobe went thru first.

I would say Lebron is more physically gifted but Kobe has the mind. That is what I admire.

His Honesty with himself was his key to letting go and letting Be, the next step to Perfection. A realized Saint, constantly Awakening to what is True.

Early with Doctor J in the NBA/ABA era, Magic and Bird in the 80s, Jordan in the 90s, Kobe in the 2000s and Lebron and Steph in the 2010s. These have been the great players who have carried their respective Eras in the NBA. Decades level of greatness where they were winning titles are a key to their influence on NBA fans. Each one had a different style in how they did it which also helped create to influence NBA fandom.

[@johnniejames9799]

I hate that people criticize these KIDS when they come into the league for not being polished, in terms of their social skills, because they simply are great athletes.

[@sammygotnext5844]

Gotta add iverson to that short list of players who molded the image of the league.

[@mdaudi4582]

Kobe took much harder clutch shots than Lebron or MJ so thus he made a lower percentage. Lebron usually passed up the shot when the shot clock is ticking down, whereas Kobe would just shoot it and not worry about his percentages going down. Kobe is the guy who took 10 shots and made 5. Lebron is the guy who took 5 shots and made 3. Lebron made a higher percentage but took fewer shots. I rather be the guy who takes all the responsibility and doesn't care about his FG% going down. The leader should operate like that and not make his teammates take those tough buzzer beaters.
