[@dale444ify]

Preach

[@kcire-tv3wy]

@@DrakeMR2 .... You missed my entire point and twisted it into something it is not. I stated look at MJ's ROOKIE SEASON NUMBERS (age 21 - before his prime) and compare those to Kobe's MVP SEASON NUMBERS (age 29 - during his prime). And no, it is very fair. Kobe's father played in the NBA, which gave Kobe an advantage, and he played against NBA talent, another supposed advantage. If Kobe thought he was good enough to enter into the NBA at that age and he didn't do well to begin, it is his own fault. He still played and that part of his career still has to be counted. It pains me when I see people make these comparisons and try to delete his early years, but yet will include Jordan's later years with the Wizards. Bullshit!!! And if you want to do a comparison from the standpoint of age to age, you will still see that it is not even close! Jordan, playing in a college system that held his real level of play at bay, had better numbers than Kobe, if you want to take it there but I don't think you can do this. Kobe's numbers compared to MJ's numbers at the same age they were playing in the NBA is advantageous to MJ by a wide margin (shooting percentage tells the tale, along with a few other things). The only time Kobe's numbers began to really take off as a singular force separate from Shaq was when the rules changes took affect (ironic that Lebron's, and many others, numbers jumped as well). Before then, he had less to deal with from the opposition because of Shaq so he could afford to increase his numbers, but still inefficiently. Jordan, on the other hand, was doing well from the outstart, even when he had to deal with becoming the leader of the team and drawing all of the attention. He was having to deal with double and triple teams his entire career as a Bull, playing defense and putting up insane shot attempts, bailouts shots and the like, all while maintaining a crazy high shooting percentage. The problem with a lot of people's analysis is they solely look at the numbers and not look at the dynamics properly. I saw them both play their entire career, and saw them play live as well (I saw MJ play live for the first time in early 1987 in Philadelphia. I was in already in high school at that time!). Sorry to say, Mike is a few levels above Kobe.

Probably the best center ever

[@BasketballIQYT]

Note that some of the previous generations' players like Wilt, Russell, Baylor, and West, are left out of these lists because some players and fans think they're in a separate category entirely. The argument is that the league was so different then, without shot clocks, certain stats being recorded, completely different rules for dribbling and scoring (no 3-point line or palming allowed), and so on, so it's hard to compare those players on a skill level. A lot of good ball handlers today are blatantly carrying the ball every possession so you can't assume Jerry West wouldn't be just as good or better than today's guards. Wilt was the Shaq of his time, and probably better than Shaq. Who's your top 5 or 10 if we start off at 1980?

[@martinolsen660]

If we start from the 80s, I'd pick Larry, Jordan and Bryant for the top three - the order doesn't matter to me. They are considerably above everyone else. Then Magic at 4th and Hareem at 5th. I do think Wilt was by far the greatest player of all time and I think he would absolutely dominate any era.

[@BasketballIQYT]

@@martinolsen660 What makes you pick Bird over Magic?

[@martinolsen660]

[@onepiece6529]

I have Kareem, Kobe, Jordan, Duncan, Bird, LeBron, Shaq, then Magic. I don't have any player from the 1960's in the top 10, but from 1970's i do have Kareem because he is a center which means 3 pointers dont apply to him anyways. I would have Bird higher than 5, but because of longevity, defense, & fundamentals i have him under Tim Duncan respectfully. LeBron is a close top 3-5.. but too many finals losses imo. However, if LeBron gets another 🏆 & records the ultimate triple double 35,000 points, 10,000 assists, 10,000 rebounds ill put him there . I agree with Larry over Magic but i also have LeBron over Magic as well.. Magic Johnson is a legendary player & arguably the best Point Guard in nba history, however defensivley Magic isn't as good as any of the players in my top 5-6. Also Magic isn't the type of player who can take over a series with his scoring or defense , although Magic is better playmaker. during their time the Lakers was arguably the most stacked team in the league..with not much competition in the Western Conference. Magic Johnson played with Kareem , Jamal Wilkes, Norm Nixon, & James Worthy.. all +20ppg scorers & are All Stars. At the time the West was the weaker conference with weaker competition. . Lakers were so stacked that in 1981 even with Magic Johnson missing 47 games Kareem, Jamal Wilkes, & Norm Nixon still lead lakers to 3rd seed with a *54-28* record. Imo, Magic wasn't the best in his team until 1987-1991 after Kareem started to play less.. but Magic was top 3-5 in the league at the time , but imo Kareem was the best player on the Lakers 1976-1986. The Celtics were stacked team too but Larry Bird played 70-80 games a season from 1981-1988. during that time Bird won 3 straight mvps (84, 85, 86) , went to 4 straight finals (84, 85, 86, 87) , & had 2 straight 50/40/90 seasons (87 & 88) .. Larry Legend in 1989 had injury & played only 6 games that season.. even with teammates like Robert Parish, Kevin Mchale, & Danny Ainge the Celtics dropped to 8th seed with a *42-40* record without Bird in 1989. Celtics in 1988 were *57-25* with Bird playing 70-80 games a season . .also during this time the East had better teams it was pretty stacked.. imo from 1984-1988 Larry Bird was the best player in the league. . also you can argue that Magic was never the best player in the league. - 76ers with Charles Barkley, Moses Malone & Julius Erving. - Pistons with Isiah Thomas, Adrian Dantley, Dumars, & Rodman - Bucks with Sidney Moncrief & Marques Johnson - Atlanta Hawks with Dominque Wilkins & Doc Rivers - Bulls with young Michael Jordan

Even if I give you LeBron (I'm taking Kobe), name me 3 other players DEFINITELY better. And for those who played ball at competitive level (I played varsity), we know that stats don't tell the whole story. Kobe stamped his will on a game like no one this side of Jordan. He never chased stats, took end of clock shots after his teammates bogged down earlier in the clock, guarded the best player on the other team and was an expert at stopping the bleeding.

I like Kobe too but I disagree and it's really not a debate. Jordan was just a little better at every thing and more efficient. I'd say Kobe was a better ball handler towards the end of their careers. I guess maybe more range then Jordan but shot like the exact same from 3. (Can u imagine how good of a 3 point shooter MJ would have been if he came into the league now) Jordan had a little better footwork and more moves. All those moves we saw from Kobe came from Jordan. Jordan just was more fluid and got more separation. It's like Coke vs Diet Coke lol.

[@abuwadie3]

Mj changed the paradigm of the nba. He proved that it was possible to win rings without a dominant big man. He is 6/6 in the finals. He was a better defender then Kobe. Better hands and lived at the rim arguably the greatest athlete of all time. Therefor his fg% was better. He will for ever be the goat.

Kobe actually aged better. He still got his lay ups too. Jordan just was better at creating space to get open and took smarter shots. No way he is more skilled imo.

@@Serching4JerryGarcia Dude, Kobe is awesome, as I said. My second favorite player ever. But he was not as efficient as Jordan because he wasn't as athletic. His hands were smaller and his jump is a FOOT less. And this shows in their overall efficiency. 5 Percent difference in SG shooting % is a significant separation. When Jordan was hogging the ball on bad teams, he shot over 50 percent. Kobe has never shot 47 percent in his career and had some years where he shot 43 percent. Take for example plays like where Kobe triple pump faked three point shots with wide open teammates. Such decision making made him less efficient. Jordan has a better body overall and it shows in his game. But yes, I shouldn't have said there isn't a move Kobe has done that Jordan hasn't. That was hyperbole. But I do think Jordan could have easily done that behind the back slam if the scenario had arisen.

N finally some positivity towards Kobe ... it’s beautiful to hear guys ... thank u

[@mexia23]

Shaq and Kobe in they prime forget about it smh 😔😢

"It's kill everybody all the time" "it's the greatest player I've ever seen in my life" "He was cookin' them people"

[@jinfengli3853]

I love KD so much!!this dude is so real and respect the legends he admire or play against

[@kbthegoat824]

That last Kobe shot I remember that game then after he hit a nasty ass game winner...people disrespect this guy so much, it got to the point I dont even care no more lol. All know is the man is def top 5, and if it wasn't for the injuries he had to go through he would be regarded best ever. I watched kobe played in his prime, especially in the years 05-08 everyone in nba knew who was top dog, yet u got some clowns analyst today that would claim he was never best in the league

[@samualcalnan2267]

KD thought that man was gone put him in his top 5 😂

[@melvinsprewel8287]

For real thats crazy, they left him to his face..

[@melvinsprewel8287]

I would have walked regardless if they were right or not 😂

[@mokushmasmo6009]

Samual Calnan KD would be top 5 lowkey if he didn’t go to GSW. Seriously had the whole skill set to be the goat. No man was 7 ft like that. Giannis is close but he still ain’t built like KD. Slithery snake is very good, Giannis is a tank.

Damn bro, I wish I could give this video more than one like! Wow.Respect.

[@anthonya5232]

You no what I use to hate Kobe Bryant growing up and it’s funny how I miss watching the man play he was a problem like time Brady didn’t like him but you got to respect they game they got the job done

[@kevinjones8213]

That’s crazy I was kind of the same way. I was a Lakers Fan but didn’t like Kobe, I felt he shot to much. Now though I miss him and his killer instinct. I think this is because we see LeBron and he should really been dominating the game but he don’t. Kobe was just different.

[@machoking2405]

Dont compare Kobe to Brady. Brady has cheated his whole career. Kobe earned them rings.

[@2B_S5]

I'll forever hold against Lebron is him shitting the bed against the Magic. Just imagine a finals of Kobe vs Lebron...

[@FireAngelChris]

Lol y’all just be talking he was better against the magic than Kobe was. That’s not why they lost that series. Dwight destroyed their front court and they had multiple shooters.

[@VarsitySniper]

Tony clark are you fucking stupid? Lebum isn’t top 15 while Kobe actually is. Lebron is 18 and no shit lebron gonna have more points later on, the dude played in the weak east his whole career but Kobe only played 17 seasons and since this is lebrons 17th, we should compare them this year. Kobe>leflop 5-0>3-6
