New franchise: Kobe Bryant or Charles Barkley?

[Quintilianus]

Sir Charles

& its not even close.

give me a career 24/10 player any given day over career 25/4.

Barkley's efficiency & stats are much better than Kobe.

Barkley never stat padded against BOTTOM FEEDERs.

Kobe has made a career out of stat padding against BOTTOM FEEDERs.

like I said. ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE.

Sir Charles >> Kobe.

This is not close in any way, barkley was a fat guy with less than average defense and absolutely no bball IQ. Horrible leader, horrible teammate.
I never got why this forum always defended sir charles so much.

This is false. Your posts have been absolutely terrible since getting registered.

Do you post in any threads that aren't Kobe threads?

Kobe lives so deep in your psyche, it's quite hilarious to watch.

[SilkkTheShocker]

I got Kobe and it isn't close.

Look at their careers and what they accomplished.

Now...watch this topic some how turn in to Kobe vs. LeBron....it will happen. WATCH

I don't know if you know this, clown. But you have a habit of bringing up LeBron all the time in threads that don't deal with him. In fact, when it comes to LeBron, you come off as extremely passive-aggressive. So why don't you take your own advice and just stfu about it. This thread is about Barkley/Kobe. Try to keep up, boy.

With hindsight it's a close thing but I probably would go with Kobe, but without hindsight it's Barkley, you always go with the big.

without hindsight people would pick len bias... so wtf is the point of just going by pre nba potential




ofcourse a college star would get picked over an unproven highschooler

All these newbies are morons.

Just because he could play PF does not make him a big man. Dude was like 6'4" - 6'6"

The only aspect of a big man that Charles can bring is rebounding. Anchoring your defense? Forget about it.

Without hindsight you would pick Kobe over Barkley? You were not even a Kobe fan when he was drafted.

[SilkkTheShocker]

It depends on the rules and what kind of talent they have around them.

Not really. With Kobe you are getting 17 seasons at least of longevity. Barkley had arguably a more dominant prime. Although, I think its lame someone is giving Kobe props for staying in LA his whole career. The guy demanded a trade when he didn't get the help he wanted. People can sugarcoat it all they want, but he did infact demand a trade.

He is a troll, but he is kind of right. Barkley isn't your typical big. And didn't Barkley have questions about his weight even in college? Maybe some one of the older posters remember.

No, without hindsight I'd probably pick Barkley. Nobody could have known when Kobe was 17 that he would become what he did.

If Kobe had gone to college though, then he may have been able to boost his draft stock higher and then it'd be more arguable.
