Brandon Jennings: "Kobe is the Greatest Player Ever"

[ImKobe]

Even though Kobe was clearly the best player in the game and had the best record in the west despite playing with a crappy team for the first half of the season.

Kobe with Bynum in 08 was on a 56-win pace, Bynum went down and Lakers had no decent big man for a month, get Pau, finish with 57 wins. What does that tell you?

In terms of total skill on both sides of the rock, it comes down MJ, Kobe, and Bron for perimeter players peak wise and GOAT wise. Only those three guys can really say they can play or defend PG, SG, and SF at great levels, freak athletes, and are alpha dog scorers. U could argue guys like a G Hill at his best or maybe Drexler. But Lebron and MJ redefined the sport totally while Kobe expanded on some things MJ did. Such as exploring the three ball more and bringing that new school And 1 handles and attitude to the game. But Kobe didn't really revolutionize basketball.

Peak and GOAT is two different criteria. So Jennings is FOR SURE WRONG on that list as of now. And peak wise for perimeter players, u can make the case Kobe is number two behind MJ. But's he so similar to MJ that he JUST FALLS SHORT. And u can't forget Bird and Magic peak wise as well. Those two along with LeBron have a versatility MJ and Kobe can't match in terms of size and ability.

He played against Lebron and Kobe, so I'll take his opinion for it.

Similar to Jamal Crawford saying Kobe was this generations Michael Jordan, it seems that their respective peers chose Kobe over Lebron as the greater player.

Magic Johnson is also on record saying Kobe Bryant is a greater player than he ever was.

Kobe Bryant = Top 5 GOAT, handsome too.
