Where is Shaq

[Odinn]

That thread was just a stan-thing. There is no point of starting another awful thread like that one. You do not have to prove anything about these things if you are not a insecure one.

[Legends66NBA7]

This is such a weird reaction thread.

I mean, I would not argue Duncan was better than Bryant in the playoffs because of production, but because he "never missed the playoffs" ? Totally setting yourself up for someone to say Carmelo Anthony > for the same reason. And if we're counting injuries, Duncan didn't play in the 2000 playoffs due to his injury.

O'Neal not in the Top 10 and Duncan and Bryant ranked 7-8 spot....what's so funny again ?

[inclinerator]

big o is not better than shaq

Kobe is not objectively top 20 based on impact.

He is really is about the same player as Carmelo Anthony, except on the leagues most dominant franchise.

Prime Kidd, McHale, Stockton, Rodman are more impactful than Kobe Bryant at the overall game of team basketball. To even compare him to the likes of Duncan and Hakeem is just truly ludicrous. Since retard fan glorify "rings" as an individual achievement and volume point total as the pinnacle of a players impact, Kobe Bryant is a far more popular player and thus has more low IQ fans who are bias in favor of him when making rankings. Thats the only reason anyone suggests he is Top 10. Non Kobe Stans often feel pressure into sticking him somewhere because they know theyll face a hurricane of "rings" arguments and blowback if they dont, and they are ill equipped to articulate how overrated that measurement is, even if they actually know it to be true deep down.

Dropping some ****ing knowledge up in this bitch.

Too bad you'll get labeled as a troll.

He's the exact same player as Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, etc... except he's had longevity and luck.

everyone believes this except casuals and lakers stans ( a combined 90% of the NBA's viewership)

Saying Kobe is basically the same as Carter and Melo is like saying Jordan is basically the same as Kobe

[Orlando Magic]

No, no it's not. But they are extremely similar players... Michael was just superior at literally every aspect of the game. Every single one.

Kobe is a better defender, playmaker, and more efficient than most/all of those guys you listed. Not to mention far greater playoff performer. How are they exactly the same?

I do see your point, but Kobe was a better player than McHale, Stockton, Kidd, Rodman. He deserves to be ranked higher than them as much as I hate to say it.

[chosen_wun]

If Kobe would have went to the Hornets like he was supposed to ... my oh my ..

Thats why it annoys me that he bitches about playing with MDE, he wanted to be in LA and got a top 10 legacy off of it. He could have been another AI or Melo.

VC is still a better defender than Kobe NOW. Tmac was just as good as Kobe before the knees went. Kobe has a lower AST% than AI and Tmac for their primes and careers so I wouldn't say he was a better defender.

Kobe just got lucky with franchises, injuries, and teammates. You really can't deny that playing in LA gave him a huge advantage in terms of supporting casts.

as for Timmy D vs. Kobe....it's no contest. Anyone who understands BBall would take Duncan over Kobe in a heartbeat.
