Why Kobe Bryant is overrated, some things to consider!

[The Iron Fist]

Kobe is the only superstar with 5 rings, yet hes overrated.

So, what does that say about the rest of the league who play under the same exact rules?

Too many people judge greatness as how good a person was when they were on top. How about we look at Kobe when things weren't so great. After Shaq left for Miami there were three years in between that and the acquisition of Pau Gasol. These are what i like to call "The Forgotten Years" of all Kobe lovers. In the forgotten years, the lakers missed the playoffs once, and were knocked out in the first round both other times. In the forgotten years, the "best player in the world" was complaining about his supporting cast and asking out of LA. It's hilarious how people rip on Lebron for leaving Cleveland for the same reasons kobe wanted out of LA. The difference between the two situations is that Kobe got his wish and Lebron got Jamison.

Now let's look at Lebron during his struggling times. He took THE WORST TEAM TO EVER MAKE THE FINALS to the finals, including scoring 25 straight points in Detroit in what may be the greatest playoff performance post jordan. Look at some of the players that started with Lebron on that team when they went to the finals. Eric Snow, Donyell Marshall, Larry Hughes, Big Z. And Kobe? He only took Smush and Kwame to the first round.

Dwyane Wade won the title with an older Shaq, while clearly being the best player on the Heat. Kobe is an inefficient chucker just like Iverson, and he actually shot the Lakers outta the 2004 Finals.

Wade >>>>>>>>> Kobe

LeBron >>>>>> Kobe

You can't deny the facts!

But a lot of the things you hold against kobe, can be applied to wade. He doesn't benifit from the rulle changes? He didn't win with the best team in the league? He's more clutch than kobe but has had a few series in which his team was the favorite and lost. So how clutch can he be?

The only thing that seperates kobe from wade based on your arguments is FG%. And that's overrated too.

Lebrons 07 finals run

.500 Wizards
.500 Nets

lol at anyone thinking that was some historic run to the finals. They beat one good team. 1. When they faced another good team, they got swept.

I don't think I have to post lebrons numbers to show his shrinkage in the moments that matter most.

Great point. People do forget that the cavs were playing in arguably the worst conference ever when james led that team to the finals. And his winning those 60+ games is overrated to.
