Steph & Kobe not being mentioned in the GOAT debates is insane.
Complete misunderstanding of what basketball is for most of em, the rest are paid.
Discussion
Kobe was too similar to MJ, Steph I can get behind… especially if he loads up more rings 😅
When LeBron and curry team up? 👀
Haha yeah I bet people will pay to see that. NBA are you listening?
You drank the Kool aid on that one - Kobe's leadership & IQ is completely different than MJ even if their moves are similar.
Kobe is the only player on this list to win a chip without a player on the roster averaging 20ppg a single time in their career.
Also the only player to defeat as many 50win teams otw to the chip as well.
Kobe is top 3 for sure but his team was really good. They were very strong in every position and had role players that would be starters on other average teams. Odom, Shannon Brown, Vujacic, Farmar were all really strong and complimented Kobe. Bynum was solid but his career ended poorly because of injuries and probably work ethic. And Gasol is in the hall of fame. Gasol was definitely a top 75 teammate when they won tho.
Kobe should have done everything to keep Shaq around. His legacy would have been better off, I think.
Kobe and Curry are better than Jordan
