Prime Kevin Garnett VS Prime Kobe Bryant (Who is better?)

[IronMexican]

I'd probably go Kobe.

....and can tell from shinola.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

there's the misconception that he always disappears in big games

That's not a misconception, he is a choker. Great leader, great defensive anchor, but if you want someone to close a game out, you're sure as not taking Garnett.

this is why i hate kg debates, cause we all know they will bring up the king series as his clutch performance when that is a small sample

[LnGrrrR]

Kobe. Even though KG is much more dominant defensively, I think Kobe plays good D, and just means more to his team. It's closer in my eyes than it probably is in many, though.

[Veterinarian]

Garnett and Shaq playing together would prolly allow 75 ppg with three average perimeter defenders.

Chasing your elbow round your asshole like that I'm shocked less you decided on Kobe.

I can't tell you how many times during the 08 playoffs I was screaming "Just get in the post KG!" and being happily relieved as he made those stepback, turnaround jumpers. Heck, Kobe seems to get to the paint more than KG does.

dunno how u cam complain when u earn 1/3 of the teams payroll

[monosylab1k]

Kobe easily.

Garnett's entire career has been a bunch of great performances against terrible teams, fake-tough talk, and pussy ass cowering and backing down as soon as someone stands up to his bull .

I still remember multiple times when Garnett would try to punk Dirk, Dirk would just laugh in his face and then all over him. You know you're a fake-tough pussy when even Dirk isn't intimidated.

[resistanze]

This question might be somewhat difficult to answer if it were "which player would you build around." Even then, I'm leaning towards Kobe.

But who was better? Seriously? I won't even answer that .

[Cry Havoc]

I'd give the slight edge to Kobe, because he has always been better in the 4th Quarter than Big Ticket.

[stretch]

I don't know it's pretty close, those saying that nobody can honestly pick Garnett either forget how great this guy was or have just simply always underated his game.

Or perhaps they just don't hate on how good Kobe is.

LMAO at picking a guy who has been known to be scared of taking big shots, and usually screws up badly when doing so.

[JamStone]

I'll take the guy that gets angry, dumps on his teammates, and demands a trade when he loses instead of the guy cries on national TV when he loses.

[Sisk]

Anyone who picks KG is just trolling lakerfans.

[Leetonidas]

You're a ing idiot.

And you're a little who spends way too much time trying to look cool on a message board. So, go yourself got, and have a nice day.

When did Garnett dump on his teammates and demand a trade? I remember him being pretty loyal to Minnesota and then finally agreeing that it was time to move on once they decided to blow up the team.

He didn't. Kobe did.

Your schtick is tired. Have you ever seen a vagina before, aside from the last time you looked in the mirror?

[baseline bum]

BTW, I took Kobe, though I think it's closer than a lot of people are saying. They're both extremely versatile players, but Kobe's ability to get off and make the most difficult jumpshots I have seen since Bird puts him over the top to me.

[TheMACHINE]

i pick KG cuz KG's scowl crazier then Kobe's scowl.

I'm an admitted Kobe hater but I think I never underestimated his game. This is not a who's better career wise debate, we're talking about primes. And Garnett on his prime was a beast and arguably the best player in the world just like Kobe.
