New franchise: Kobe Bryant or Charles Barkley?

[Segatti]

I would go for Kobe, but I think it's close

or just some posts about how Kobe is a chucker and he was carried/gifted rings by his teammates.

Kobe.

Here's a better question:
Kobe or Lebron?

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.

Kobe back then, but it's a bit more arguable. Chuck was a revolving door on D tho (at PF).

In today's league? Kobe without a single doubt. A Frobe/03 Kobe level slasher, without the handcheck rules? Sign me up!!

Also Chuck is pretty much doomed due to 3 in the key and 5 second backdown. He'd just pound your ass for 15 seconds straight back in the days.

Is it a Dunkin donuts franchise?

I'd be interested to hear your case for Kobe over Barkley, but only based on individual comparisons. Unless you have D Fish ahead of Barkley too becuase of "5 ringz"

It's not like there aren't reasons to take Kobe but to say "it isn't close" and that your reasons are "what they accomplished" Im curious how you'd make a case for Kobe based only on himself and not his team achievements that would make him such an obvious choice over Sir Charls.


But for the record my pick would be Barkley, and it's not close.

Troll bait

[jstern]

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

[SilkkTheShocker]

Kobe.

I question how much of a winner Barkley really was. And he is one of my favorite NBA personalities for the record.

[kennethgriffin]

hmmmm

A) lazy fat man never done shit, never won shit, never played defense, ring chases, leaves franchises on bad terms, top 18-20 player ever

vs

B) hardest working athlete of all time, most accomplished player of his generation, all time most defensive 1st team awards, stays with 1 franchise, legend, top 5-6 player ever

[AlphaWolf24]

Barkley!...he played in the hand check era!!....and grabbed more rebounds.



oh yeah....and he had FG%....you know, good efficiency and all that stuff.
