Magic saying
I’ve seen a lot of people arguing for Kobe’s case as the greatest Laker based on what Magic said.
Comments like these, when players of this caliber actually say that others are greater than them, do you actually take them seriously? I sure don’t take them seriously and just figure they are saying the nice thing in public. I don’t think either Magic or Kobe actually thinks the other was greater than them. I don’t even thing Magic thinks Jordan was better than him no matter what he says publicly.
Michael Jordan says he’s not the greatest player ever because it can’t be proven due to eras. That may be true, but I doubt he actually believes anyone was as good as he was in his prime. He is one of the many players with that “my era is way better than today’s” attitude and seemed annoyed at the notion of today’s stars being as successful if they played during his era.

Magic, Jerry West and Shaq have all said that Kobe's the greatest Laker, I guess they're all lying .

Kobe says Magic was the greatest laker. I agree with him.

Re: Magic saying
Magic is the all time best Laker; Kareem couldn't win w/out Magic but Magic won the Championship no matter who else was injured and who the competition was. Kobe couldn't carry the show when other stars were injured
Shaq is probably the most Dominant Laker ever. tough to compare his skillset to a 6'-9" point guard.
Kareem has to be in the top 5 conversation
Jerry should be in the conversation for most talented Laker ever. Could rarely close the deal
Kobe . . . History always forgets what a problem child he was. For all the good he did he could be a total D bag . . . top 7 Laker IMHO

Oh really? Magic lost a bunch of Finals as a Laker and he got upset a bunch early in the Playoffs.
Shaq was only dominant against scrub EC big men, he needed Kobe to carry him against Sabonis/Sheed and TD/DR. Your only argument against him is that he was a "total D bag". I guess being hard on your teammates for slacking off is something a leader should never do.
Kobe won titles with the weakest supporting casts in Lakers' history in the toughest Western Conference in NBA history. He made 3 straight Finals and won 2 at a time 8th seeds were 45-50 win teams in the West.
Magic had the most talented Laker teams ever around him in the weakest Western Conference in NBA history but got upset in the first round by a 40-42 Rockets team as a defending champion, he got beat 1 - 4 by Kevin Johnson Phoenix Suns the year after Kareem retired. He lost 4 straight games to the Bulls in 1991 Finals.
Kobe's the one who was left with a bunch of role players during his absolute prime and then made 3 straight Finals with his 2nd best player being a 1-time all-star who had been swept 3 times in the Playoffs prior to the trade.

I'm not shitting on Magic, I'm just answering his post. He makes it out to be like Magic always won no matter the team around him when that wasn't the case. Magic made 9 Finals but he had no real competition in the Western Conference until the late 80s. Sounds like someone else who's playing in this current era .

Re: Magic saying
I am a Laker fan and I like Kobe.
I thought Magic was 5 wins 3 loses in NBA Finals. Was the 9th trip when Chicago punted them?
Sorry but I clearly remember Kobe chucking Air balls in the playoffs his first few years
