There's only one other guy that had such finesse, style, and grace and he has a statue outside the United Center. I swear between Kobe and Jordan, there's very few, if any at all, whose game was as beautiful to watch. It was poetry in motion. No one ever made me jump out of my seat more than the Mamba did. He mastered the game from his impeccable footwork, to his pure shooting form, to his superb court vision. His determination and killer instinct was undeniable and his will to win was inspiring. He'll forever be one of my favorite athletes and was by far the strongest influence for developing my love for the game. He is and forever will be a legend.

He might be the most skilled basketball player we've ever seen. More skilled than Jordan. Just look at the finesse, the talent and skill its flawless even at such a late stage in his career. Post game too skilled

People are always sleeping on Kobe it seems . Dudes a definite top 5 player, the 2nd best shooting guard of all time and best laker of all time. People always so quick to bring up stats but when kobes pure ability is brought up they are so silent because he was one of the greatest of all time. Hate Kobe all you want but he deserves respect and before Lebron fans come and hate me I would like to say that Lebron is probably one of the greatest no doubt but people need to stop underrating Kobe.

Reminder: LeBron has never had to beat 4 50-win teams in any of his Finals runs. Kobe did it twice, in 2001 and 2010. Olajuwon did it in 1995. Jordan may have done it. But LeBron? The most he had in a Finals run were two 50-win teams in 2016 and 2012 (adjusted for win percentage due to the lockout). In 2013, he didn't face a single 50-win team in the East. And Bronsexuals say LeBron has difficult roads to the Finals?

It won't matter who or which young core rises because in the West the main top two seeds that will continue to dominate is the spurs and warriors, now with the wolves it's a guaranteed dynasty if they don't mess up and okc looks like a permanent home for Westbrook so it doesn't look good for the Lakers buddies only summer league.
