I will start it was during his rookie year in a game against the Sixers. The game was at the legendary spectrum and Kobe did not disappoint. Granted Kobe only had 10 points in the game but he showed flashes of greatness to me. There is one play where he blew past Stackhouse and Iverson and went to the paint to score right on Derrick Coleman. That was the one moment where I knew this kid was going to be special.

When he shot those airballs in Utah. He had the nerves to take the shots when other good players were afraid.

When Kobe consistently butt raped the spurs in the playoffs to the tune of 28 PPG, 47%.
Not bad for an inefficient chucker.

Kobe has never impressed me because I have seen prime Jordan live
It's equivalent to fucking Jessica Alba and then a few months later fucking a lookalike.
I understand for young guys and rookies, Kobe might be considered special

After what Kobe did to your team throughout his career, you and other spurfans are obviously in denial.
Lebron has shit playoff stats against the spurs but that doesn't stop spurfan from stroking his dick on a daily basis.

I understand for young guys and rookies, Kobe might be considered special
Kobe had far better range and overall skill than MJ...the mid-range game was equal...their defense was equal, MJ finished at the rim a better , MJ had better endurance only because he was never asked by Phil to Facilitate the offense...he had no one to share with on offense...all MJ had to do was get the ball and score...his only job ever as a player was shooting guard he never played another position nor was he asked to.. He had Scottie taking all the toughest defensive assignments and guarding the opposing teams best player...so all MJ had to do was look like he was playing great defense while Pippen was doing the real work...it's such a joke to bestow defensive greatness on MJ...he and the media fucked Pippen completely over with this FALSE narrative that MJ played great defense...:lol
Conversely Kobe was asked to be play maker and facilitate the Lakers offense for years and be a shooting guard and guard the opposing teams best player and lead on offense..MJ never in his fucking life had such a burden as a player....even Phil admitted it in one of his bullshit ass books

That question makes no sense partner.
All is known is Mike Miller is an elite spot up shooter. Credit to PED-using Lebron in the ability to monkey his way into the lane drawing the defense to dish to a ready to shoot Mike Miller
