Curry was the last all star to play against elite kobe

[AnaheimLakers24]

Is it a surprise hes the best in the league now? Literally passed him the torch after that injury

[JohnFreeman]

When was elite Kobe?

The torch has been passed

we have witnessed

Given that Kobe was never even consensus best player of the year at any one point (2006 could, and should, easily go to Wade...and 2009 is Lebron's), it seems like your boy Kobe never even had the torch in the first place.

U mad?

This.

The Torch is like The Sword in the Stone, no1 with a negative finals record can pick it up.

Back when Kobe was actually elite, Curry was "glass ankles" curry and an 18ppg scorer...but okay?

Shaq's resume without Kobe sucks

1 sidekick ring
0 regular season and final mvps
swept in multiple playoff series

Not sure OP is making total sense here.

[AirFederer]

The only torch he passed was the one he gave miss Faber
