Multiple NBA greats pick Kobe, the general population picks Kobe. Looks like the only idiots that don't think Kobe is the best player since MJ are ESPN writers and ISH retards.

Well, Kobe is the most popular since MJ, so it make sense he'd win in any poll.

But he's not the best player since MJ.

Kobe is the most polarizing player since Wilt Chamberlain. Dude's public reputation tanked when he got accused of sexual assault. Only in his farewell season was he finally loved by fans.

Da Bald Mamba edges out Da King Cobra.

How can anyone take fan votes seriously. It's all just a popularity contest, and most who vote are teenager types who have a lot of free time. Should Kobe have been an All Star last season? Still got voted in because of his popularity. Same as Grant Hill when he walked in crutches having only played 4 games that season.

Also, can someone explain what's going on in the main page? Why are there all these random sticky topics by one user?

Let Lebron finish his career first?

Make this poll when Lebron retires in say 8 yrs time and lets see what people will say about the best player since MJ.

so when an expert says it, it's just " well experts arent any more informed than the average moron" .. and when fans do it it's "well, theyre all just morons" ... ISH should unleash it's secret team of anonymous elite player rankers to settle this debate.

If you think Kobe Bryant is the best player since Michael Jordan...you're a moron plain and simple. Of course Kobe is picked by a poll for the casual fan...he's the guy who ha sbeen force fed into everyone's face for nearly 20 years as the next big thing.

41,706 total votes, 9,270 from CA alone. 22% total. There are states like Illinois that despised Lebron. Yea, not biased or anything like that.

kobe's popular and his fans are passionate, same for lebron ofc. duncan and shaq getting a total of 12% and curry getting 3% over a few consensus top 25 guys should make it obvious this is just a popularity contest. do the kobe and bron stans on here really think both duncan and shaq arent even close to getting consideration.

[BigKAT]

[iamgine]

Popularity isn't a bad thing.

WOW SO NOT ONLY IS DOES HE HAVE MORE RINGS THAN, IS CALLED A GREATER PLAYER THAN BRON BY OTHER TOP 10 GREATS (Jordan, Shaq), AND HAVE A BETTER WIN RECORD AGAINST ANOTHER TOP 10 GREAT IN TIM DUNCAN IN THE PLAYOFFS BUT BUT BUT BUT HE IS ALSO MORE POPULAR ����������!!!!!

Wheres the damn argument for Bron besides BIASED MEDIA AWARDS ������

Yeah his 3 FMVP were earned BUT YOU FINNA SIT HERE AND TELL ME HE WAS A BETTER PLAYER THAN KOBE IN 2009 2010 ������������������ THOSE MVPS MEAN NOTHING IN COMPARISON TO KOBE BECAUSE .....well they are Kobes awards if you count where it really matters


THE PLAYOFFS

In the real world if we were give MVPs to the rightful owners we would have Kobe at

***** 5 rings 3mvps and 2 finals mvp along with being the best 2nd option of all time during his younger years

Vs

3 rings 2mvps and 3 finals mvp along with 2 bronze medals absolutely embarassing the country. No excuses because Jordan won an olympic gold while surrounded with other college players. Bron couldnt get it done with other pros


So basically if you take Brons 2 mvps away and give them to Kobe who has a SERIOUS case for the MVP then you see there really is discussion for who is the better player right now...

Keep in mind Lebrons legacy will go down if he keeps losing in the finals
