Kobe has never had a season as good as last three year Curry, last year Leonard..

[apalisoc_9]

last year Westbrook and Last year Harden.

the most fabricated star of all time.

stop sucking elianfaggot's dick you raghead chink

[AlexJones]

If we're being honest, no one except Wilt/Shaq/Lebron/MJ has had a season better than the GOAT in 2015-16.

Winning 3 rings in a row basically shits all over the OP, although I agree Kobe is a hyped up marketing tool for a franchise that couldn't hold on to Shaq.

[LkrFan]

The Admiral, Jim, Pop, and Kiwi NEVER repeated as champion. Kobe did. :)

shaq and Pau did..Not kobe.

[RsxPiimp]

cant deny this fact tbh. the massive overhype on kobe's career is linked to his 5 championship titles but 4 out of those 5 series weren't much impressive and some were unfortunately abysmal.

love watching him during his prime but any laker fan can attest to the frustration kobe brought to the team in the finals.


but fwiw and a s a consolation, he had some pretty amazing playoff series against WCF teams.

He won those 3 rings in one season?

[DMC]

Reading comprehension, Philo. I didn't just say " he won 3 rings", I said he won 3 in a row. There was one season where he won his 3rd in a row.

Sam jones won 8 in a row. Kobe never did.

In the '50s? Okay :lol

Are you guys talking overall or in the finals?

Overall, currys got Chris paul, john wall, Irving, Westbrook,harden, Conley, walker, Lowry, Isaiah Thomas. Irving is the only one of note in the finals

For Kobe, it's tmac, carter, AI, Pierce, Allen, ginobili, bobby/Christie, bonus wells, Bowen

I'd say they are pretty even competition wise, but curry was the first option and his competition were mostly first option, Kobe was the second banana and was measured against mostly first options, so those aren't really his actual competition.

[UZER]

In the '50s? Okay :lol

Oh, but let's count those Minneapolis chips. :lol

[namlook]

Haters can hate but there's no doubt that Kobe had the secret sauce for winning. There have only been five players since the 70s who have been at an MVP level and also won five championships: Jordan, Magic, Kareem, Duncan and Kobe.

And only two of those players have repeated multiple times: Jordan and Kobe.

[ElNono]

Who is Curry's competition at his own postion?

LMAO, you can always tell the rookies~~~~

Irving, Westbrook, Isiah, Wall, regular season CP3... the PG position is well represented at this time.
The SG position is actually much weaker.

~~~~ZOOOOOOOOM~~~~<

[ElNono]

Haters can hate but there's no doubt that Kobe had the secret sauce for winning.

An owner that brought him Shaq first and MVPau later when he was pouting? Or a commissioner that admitted he would have a Lakers vs Lakers Final every year if he could?

That's like saying gold diggers have the secret sauce to get rich.

Irving who couldn't will his team to the playoffs without LeBron. Wall, who has done what? Isaiah who has done what? Lillard is considered a top 10 PG in today's NBA. Competition is shit.

[Clipper Nation]

You forgot to ask what Chris "Second-Round Exit" Paul has done. CP0 has been Curry's bitch for years now.

Overall. Competition. wise it's not even close. Kobe faced alot of HOFs at the wing during his career. You are saying Lowry, Irving, Harden, Thomas, Conley are all future HOFs?

[djohn2oo8]

Curry is no longer a first option. Not with Durant there.

[LkrFan]

Horry 7
Fisher 5
Kobe 5

Shhhh

Horry was at the right place at the right time. No all star games. Fisher too. That's your credible argument?

[djohn2oo8]

An owner that brought him Shaq first and MVPau later when he was pouting? Or a commissioner that admitted he would have a Lakers vs Lakers Final every year if he could?

And Curry has Durant in his prime who is wayyyyy better than Pau. If you want to call anyone MVP whatever, look at Durant's playoff run compared to Curry's.

[namlook]

Horry 7
Fisher 5
Kobe 5

Shhhh

Horry and Fisher were not anywhere near all-star level performers so how is that even relevant?

Using your logic this means something:

Horry 7
Jordan 6
Kareem 6
Magic 5

[ambchang]

Overall. Competition. wise it's not even close. Kobe faced alot of HOFs at the wing during his career. You are saying Lowry, Irving, Harden, Thomas, Conley are all future HOFs?

Harden is extremely likely to be an MVP player. Irving has a chance.

Pierce, Tmac, AI, Allen, ginobili are locks. That's five. Who else?

Chris paul is a lock. Westbrook is pretty much a lock (can't think of any mvps who didn't make the hall). Harden is highly likely. Wall and Irving has a chance if they keep it up (like tmac and Allen). That's five.

[ambchang]

Horry was at the right place at the right time. No all star games. Fisher too. That's your credible argument?

Kobe defined what right place right time is.

[ambchang]

Horry and Fisher were not anywhere near all-star level performers so how is that even relevant?

If you actually used you brain, you wouldn't figured that's his logic, not mine.

[ElNono]

Irving hit the 3 that sealed the championship and the backdoor sweep... As good as Lebron is, everybody needs some help, tbh... Wall, Isaiah, Russ... they're all the best players on their respective teams (EDIT: or were), the PG position in the current NBA is pretty stacked...

Take the SG position as contrast... you have Harden and the 2nd best guy is way down... back in the day you had Wade, T-Mac, Ray Allen, prime Manu, RIP... the position was stacked, even if T-Mac or Ray didn't really win anything when they were 1st bananas...

[ElNono]

You forgot to ask what Chris "Second-Round Exit" Paul has done. CP0 has been Curry's bitch for years now.

tbf, I specifically named 'regular season Chris Paul'... the PG position is pretty stacked right now, and I'm not trying to take anything away from Curry, he's dope, but there's a lot of great talent at his position...

Sure, he sometimes has to compete with the Porkers of the world and has some easy nights, but overall, there's competition out there.

[ElNono]

And Curry has Durant in his prime who is wayyyyy better than Pau. If you want to call anyone MVP whatever, look at Durant's playoff run compared to Curry's.

Curry has Durant because Raymond cried :cry, tbh... I was just pointing out that having the 'secret sauce of winning' is a lot easier when you have the league and best players carrying you...

[djohn2oo8]

Except Pau had done nothing in Memphis beforehand.

Kobe also did face Reggie Miller in those 2000 finals. 24.3 PPG. Also Vince Carter is probably a lock as well.

[ElNono]

Except Pau had done nothing in Memphis beforehand.

He made the playoffs with a terrible cast, tbh, not to mention Kobe flat out quit after Shaq stopped holding his hand, some 'secret loser sauce' that was...

[ambchang]

True. Kobe played 19 years. Currys going on his 7th. And the competition they faced is already comparable.

Btw, Kobe's competition in the 2000 finals was Austin croshere. No need to change it to a HoFer to fit your narrative.

And if people want to make fun of Irving playing against dellanova, then be sure to have Kobe's matchup correct and name Eric snow instead of AI.

[DMC]

He didn't forget. That loser is on his team now, he gets a free pass.

While Shaq went into Miami and rang.

[namlook]

If you actually used you brain, you wouldn't figured that's his logic, not mine.

But it wasn't. His logic compared players who are or who will be hall of famers, while your post was just dumb comparing players who weren't even all stars to hall of fame talent.

[namlook]

He made the playoffs.....

And had a winning percentage of .000 in the playoffs. Couldn't even win one home game in any series.

Curry and hardon are bitches not in kobes league. However The Admiral, Tim Pop and Kawhi had to play against the league while the league played for kobe and helped him win.

Fucking retarded. makes no sense it was an even playing field and your lakers got their ass swept by said Spurs.

[ambchang]

But it wasn't. His logic compared players who are or who will be hall of famers, while your post was just dumb comparing players who weren't even all stars to hall of fame talent.

So what? Are players divided into two groups, HoFers and non-HoFers, and then they should only be compared within? Sam Jones won 8, so Sam Jones > Jordan?

It is a retarded argument to use team accomplishments to compare individual players, something Kobestans will only use situationally.

BJ Armstrong would be a top PG in today's NBA tbh
