I'm a huge kobe fan. But never been a fan of comparing Kobe to the goat.
Heard it on the podcast when asked to rank Kobe. What a in comparing players on a fixed scripted league.

if the league was scripted, the Cavs would be in the finals .........
as far as Bean, he's the second best SG. No touching Mike at the top spot right now .....
Stern.
Of course he would say that. One is still playing.
LeBron-Kobe still isn't as big a draw as Lakers-Celtics
But he's right.
Why does this make people so mad?
LeBron vs Kobe
Kobe vs Shaquille again .........
trust me, it would be.
of course he's going to say that.
he wants the Finals to get big ratings and try to repair kobe's image a bit to make more $$
Steve Kerr played with Jordan and just said the same thing:
"He's the only guy you can legitimately say is right there with Michael"

kobe is just the man. people would always find ways to criticize him but nba players, coaches, gm's, hof'ers, his peers always puts kobe at the very top. at the end of the day, i think their opinions weigh a whole lot more than these no name hating losers.
more flavor of the month garbage.
after 131-92 in 2008, the whole world told kobe nut huggers to stfu.
now they are trying to creep back in again LOL.
keep posting articles selectively from kobe nuthuggers. it won't change the opinion of the majority of the basketball world.
LeBron is the best player in the NBA.
Kobe is not even close to MJ, and the more you Laker fans try to push the issue, the more hate you bring on your boy. If Kobe truly was that good, he wouldn't need you to say it.
There isn't a conspiracy in the world. If Kobe truly deserved that honor, he would be given it without needing you to convince anyone.
nope.. nope.. nope.. Kobe would be slapped with the way the game was officiated back in Jordan's heyday. Kobe wouldn't last a ing second on the court. Kobe is the greatest player to play ever since the league started calling ticky tack bullcrap. However, if he is to be put into Jordan's era, dude wouldn't be number one. Probably number two at best. Better than Jordan? GTFO dumbasses. Jordan was the man.
LOL 1 mvp in 14 seasons
LOL never shooting near %50 in a season
LOL needing more games than anyone else to catch up to the greats in scoring lists
nope nope nope on reading comprehension? i see you triggered.
It's funny to see that all these "Kobe>Jordan" supporters are Laker fans. You guys aren't basketball fans, just Laker bandwagon fans. Idiots. If I was asked to compare lets say, Duncan and Hakeem Olajuwan, I would pick Hakeem, cause he's better. As a basketball fan you give a generalized perspective on the topic at hand. Not something based on your team. GTFO your asses. Seriously.
dumbass still cant understand ish. man, you really that slow? mah
It's not an issue of saying Kobe > Jordan. It's that Kobe is up there in that realm now. No one is honestly trying to put Kobe above Jordan. If Kobe wins 7 rings maybe those discussions can start.
Steve Kerr isn't a Lakers fan. He said it. Players, coaches and people who played with Jordan are giving Kobe that respect and place in history. Sorry Kobe haters, there's no turning back now. It's only going to get worse for you from here.

To be up there in the realm of greatness that is his airness is different from saying Kobe is better than Jordan.
Kobe will need to win 7 rings to be honestly considered as better or as having a better career than Jordan.
There you go. I knew you had it in you.
because it ain't true.
You laker fans grab an opinion you see from 1 or 2 places and BAM, run with it as fact.
Not even.
There you go. I knew you had it in you.
MJ had 6 rings, 6 finals mvps, 5 league mvps, etc.
Kobe got the first 3 as a role player to shaq. You can't count those as equal to MJ's.
Not to mention, Kobe is already in 14th season. MJ only played 13 seasons as a Bull to be the GOAT.
It's already over.
Not even to mention all the stats that prove which is the FAR SUPERIOR player....
it's really not even an argument. It's over. Kobe's career is on the downward slope now. It's done.
mike's legacy is different from kobe. he won his 6 as the best player in the finals. even if kobe wins this year and next year as the main man, he's not going past mj. but he would be the greatest laker ever. thats quite an coomplishment if you ask me.
People love to say Kobe doesn't get credit for his first three rings because the offense didn't run through him. This is complete bull and is not supported by history.
Since when does the #1 option hand over the ball to someone else to close out games? The Lakers had two alpha males. For the threepeat Kobe was always the #1 option when the game was on the line.
Bill Russell was anywhere from the 2nd to the 7th option on offense for his team. Usually he was the 3rd or 4th option. Should we say he doesn't get credit for those rings? Try telling Celtics fans that Bill Russell was never the #1 option on offense for his team so he really has zero rings.
In 1980 Magic Johnson was the 4th option on offense for the Lakers yet his play was instrumental to winning. Magic doesn't get credit for that ring does he? In 1982 he was the third option. In 1985 he was the second option. In 1987 he was first option. In 1988 the third option.
Damn, Magic only has ONE ring!
Jordan was the focal point for all those championships in large part due to cir stances. If Shaq had appeared on the Bulls roster in his prime, the Bulls would have fed the post first just like the Lakers did. Likewise if Kobe had played with Pippen on those 90's Bulls teams he would have always been the focal point of the offense and everything would have revolved around him.
