This is why kobe will never be mj and isn't even close

[mavs>spurs]

his team quit on him for the 2nd year in a row...seems to be a recurring theme here. nobody likes to hustle hard and play d just to watch the kobester chuck..dude has serious leadership deficiencies. "leadership" to kobe just means scoring tons of points. he has no floor leader skills at all and makes his teammates worse.

[urunobili]

careful... game is not over bud...

[Woo Bum-kon]

Hundreds of replies imminent.

[Sean Cagney]

Time to change your name to Spurs > Mavs again...... I agree though he is not close to MJ sides the hype, not even close.

[PGDynasty24]

how can u blame kobe. He is the only one out there playing with heart,pau gasol is the pussiest mf'er alive right now. It's embarassing...

[Spurtacus]

I have to agree. Rest of the team quit.

[mavs>spurs]

He is the only one out there playing with heart

exactly my point, kobe's teammates always quit on him. dude isn't a leader. why would the whole team just quit back to back years? why did gasol quit on him last year? hmm

Correct.

Pau did this last years playoffs too man! He seemed to check out early, so why is he still around there? I feel if he does this again he is out this summer, if not next year easily.

[Pelicans78]

I agree with M>S.

They don't like playing with Kobe. He doesn't get the respect from his teammates.

[Killakobe81]

He is not that close to MJ, but closer than most. But this game has nothing to do with even if he dropped 60 and Lakers won, wouldn't make him equal to MJ ....

[slick'81]

tb fair kobe was sic as fuck

[mavs>spurs]

I agree with M>S.

egg-fucking-zactly. just check their body language out there, especially pau. his own teammates don't want him to get #6.

[jmill]

Awful thread.

Kobe will never be MJ because MJ was a better basketball player.Then again, you can replace Kobe with arguably any player in history and this remains true, so it's not much of an insult.

It's not because his team quit on him though, or whatever narrative people like to come up with to criticize players they don't like. It's because Kobe is really fucking good, but MJ is the best of all time. The end.

[mavs>spurs]

jordan's teammates never quit, neither did anyone else in the top 20 all time. kobe is top 25.

[Bynumite]

^Stfu faggot.

[Frenzy]

I don't see why lakeshow so mad...they have the 2nd most rings in the nba...it's only fitting they have 2nd best player.

[mavs>spurs]

Lebron for one

[Venti Quattro]

Who actually said that Kobe is greater than Jordan? It's the haters or the GNSFs who only insinuate that.

And frankly, m>s, you're taking the GNSF route here...

He's trolling, let him troll.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Lebron's teammates have never quit on him..he's one of the best teammates of all-time, he has never spoken a bad word about a teammate, and he's also an unselfish player..

I'm not going to acknowledge Kobe vs. Jordan, it's not even worth arguing, but I agree with MS's original point..

Kobe's not a leader, it's evident that he has no control over Bynum, and that Gasol has become burnt out from playing with him, tbh..

you're right... lebron quit on his team.

They were never teammates. Delonte was his stepdad.

Lebron is one of the best players of all time, and I consider him a good teammate. But yes, yes his team has quit on him:

But again, if it makes people feel better to come up with a narrative to bring Kobe down, knock yourselves out.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Kobe is the GOAT simply b/c he's the most polarizing player to ever play. His retirement will be the death knell of Spurstalk.:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

I can see the argument that Lebron quit(I don't agree, but I've heard decent arguments), but I don't buy the notion that his teammates quit..they were shitty players that were overwhelmed by the moment, which also happened vs. Orlando, too..

Bynum and Gasol are 2 star big men, they shouldn't be quitting against a shitty Nuggets team with a frontcourt of Javale McGee and an undersized, energy big, tbh..

[Latarian Milton]

teammates didn't quit on him imho, kobe quit on his team first of all

[wanggi]

Without Shaq, Kobe got only 2 rings.
Without Gasol, Kobe got only 3 rings.
Without Shaq and Gasol, Kobe got zero ring.

[Koolaid_Man]

jordan's teammates never quit, neither did anyone else in the top 20 all time. kobe is top 25.


you probably could have saved this post as you can't change my mind my belief in Kobe is my religionPeriod :lol

now to answer your question I'd say Lamar Quit on Dirk but then again Dirk isn't top 50 :lol not even with his one and done ring
