Tell me what makes Kobe Bryant better than Bradley Beal or Devin Booker

[Rysio]

Op clearly a boxscore watcher.

[ArbitraryWater]

If you said Wade, Durant or Kawhi, sure. But those dudes, c'mon bruh

what is it then


So far I see a lot of outrage but nothing of substance.

[ArbitraryWater]

This is a conclusion you could only reach if you didn't actually watch Kobe play.

Kobe could guard those guys. They couldn't guard Kobe.

What kind of generic ass bullshit statement is that?


You wanna tell me defense is what seperates them?

I think I won half the battle then, here.

[3ball]

Athleticism and equal or better jumpshooting skill, and far superior pure scoring ability.. and mamba mentality

[ArbitraryWater]

Lebron got his ass handed to him for the 2nd year out of 3 out west

And this guys got Kobe on his mind

Losing it...

Are you retarded bre?

This is a basketball forum.

Not a LeBron board.

[ArbitraryWater]

Athleticism coupled with equal or better jumpshooting skill

that athleticism didnt translate into any better, more efficient scoring though, nor better playmaking...

Kobe is a better scorer than Booker or Beal and it isn't close.. Kobe was in a different dimension

[deathawaitu]

Tell me.

Cause there's nothing as far as I'm concerned.


Not game wise, not stat wise.


Circumstances are the only reason their achievements differ.

They all have one thing in common

All better than Lebron

Take the L

None really..Booker and Beal are actually better 3 point shooters, but Kobe had a better post game.

If Beal had a O'neal type of player his first 3-4 years he'd have a championship as well.

And you'll never get a legit answer other then "YOU NEVER WATCHED KOBE"

Did someone knock you upside the head for snitching or something? What makes lebron a better player than tony Parker?

[Manny98]

Defense + playmaking and overall basketball IQ

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Playmaking and ball handling - Kobe was the point guard of 5 championship teams

defense - Kobe was an elite defender in the early 2000's and still better defensively as he got older

also like 5x better athleticism

I would say Booker's prime is underrated though but beal shouldn't be in the convo.

jesus fking christ, autisticwater with complete meltdown

[Phoenix]

If you said Wade, Durant or Kawhi, sure. But those dudes, c'mon bruh

I can't put Kawhi in with those other two right now. Dude's talented as hell but flaky as fcuk and lacks intangibles/leadership qualities. His cache is just about up coming off that 2019 chip, especially if he fails to get past a pre-prime Luka. This 'everything is now advanced stats' era is starting to make Kobe a little underrated IMO.

[MrFonzworth]

OP got his shit pushed in at school and consulted ISH for help because he has no friends irl
