Kobe Bryant is an absolute basketball legend. I always have hated the lakers but I’ve always respected Kobe.

[@LadellTurner]

True! Kobe was a different monster.

[@ernestosepulveda4327]

I will never put LeBron over Kobe Bryant... Because Kobe and his career never complained about anything especially trying to recruit a bunch of superstars and his team... Jordan number one Kobe number 2... And what kills me is that Stephen A Smith says LeBron number 2 which don't make no sense because the closest thing to Jordan is Kobe Bryant..

[@jdrobin1]

Yes he did. He definitely asked be traded to the Bulls lol

[@ernestosepulveda4327]

@@jdrobin1 he stated if they wouldn't put pieces around him that they could trade him, but one thing I can respect about Kobe Bryant he never wanted to fill his team up with superstars like LeBron... If I had a choice to have Kobe's career or LeBron's career I would definitely choose Kobe's career..just saying... LeBron's record in the playoffs is bad and of course you know the finals his record is bad..

lol when Kobe won his 5th ring only the East coast fans who pretended to have stayed up to watch Laker games thought he wasn't in the conversation. By that time he had already amassed 9 First team All Defense selections tying MJ.

Kobe has 5 rings lebron has 4 if we talking about titles and lebron is still playing Kobe’s has been retired and or deceased for a few yrs now and lebron still hasn’t won another title Mike has been out of the league 15 yrs and lebron still stuck on 4 after going to 10 cmon now make it make sense

[@easuz_6765]

Can't leave out a guy neither LeBron or Jordan could handle on that hardwood 1on1 I'm taking Kobe every time 💪🏽💯🔥🐐🐐🐐

[@MANDMK]

A guy who shot lower than 40 % FG in 50 % of his final games , and lower than 35 % FG in 32 % of his final games, can NEVER be in the goat discussion. Sorry

[@khad9675]

Kobe is top 2

[@s0meguy09]

Shaq "unless you're Charles Barkley. You're always wrong" 😂😂

[@andreallen6480]

It's no way Lebron 2nd after MJ as the Goat..... Kobe definitely 2 in my OPINION

[@BSmith-lr6dn]

Without Wade who was in the same draft class, won a chip in less years make it a big question on how long would've took LeBron to win his first chip.... he had about 5-6 attempts

[@seanbrandon6478]

So Brons rings don't count cuz he had Wade Bosh Kyrie and any other all-star

[@middlfingazup2446]

How come Shaq wasn’t saying any of this while Kobe was here. AI switched up too cause he’s on record plenty of times saying Lbj now that’s changed and bleacher report 8-5-20 Joseph Zucker was one of those times. I speak with credibility

[@derickgarbutt3230]

Only jordan and kobe won scoring titles and first team all defense, thats 1 and 2 for me!

[@purplephiff13]

How can a player b 1 of the greatest of all time, but n the same sentence they say Mike is the greatest of all time. That's crazy

[@emmanuelanning8090]

Thank you, SHAQ ....

[@user-wk4pq8gz5r]

Can't be in the top 10 with a FG% of 45.00%. Much less be the GOAT.

[@KingLs614]

If his case goes to Wilt and Bill then he has to put Bron and Steph on the same level!

[@BrentonWayne]

Shaq had a point until he said Dr. J

[@EPiiX]

Shaq been lazy his whole nba career kobe said that but kobe didn't care he just wanted to be great even if he put others down didn't faze him Was a shitty teammate just like Jordan. Kobe was good but not top 5 good come on Shaq quit talking that crash

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

Lbs 4 Lbs MAGIC JOHNSON is up there too Look what he did in a short career Way more than Lebron

[@AGMAppointments]

If you weren't the best on your team for 3 of your 5 championships, When you weren't even the best all time on your organization, When you're not the best at your own position, how can you be in the G.O.A.T conversation?

[@majormarketing6552]

He was the best. His coach used shaq as first option as their scheme. Who got traded? It was Shaq

[@fkillah]

When you’ve been to the finals 10 times and won only 4 but got bailed out in half of them by Ray Allen and Kyrie how can you be the goat? Also one of the championships was the 2020 bubble. When you play GM/coach and choose to team up with 2 other franchise players in Wade and Bosh how can you call yourself the goat. When you don’t play defense and flop worse than a soccer player how can you call yourself goat. And when you call yourself the goat, are you really? Gtfoh
